DistrACTION Jackson

There's not too many lock options for the Dees this year in my mind! Oliver is a lock for me. Gawn and Grundy it's hard because we don't know their roles. If McVee or van Rooyen are named I may have them on my bench.

I think it stands for Melbourne Park Olympic Trust or something.... think the area around Gocshs

Ok, well I haven't heard from anyone so I'll just list the code here. https://supercoach.heraldsun.com.au/afl/classic/?action=join-league&code=574458 Here is the link to join the league.

Give me to the end of the week and if the players from last year haven't joined I'll send the link.

That is definitely the other thing. If the club post a full internal match replay other clubs can go through it to try get an edge for round 1. I saw Port Adelaide posted this, so if I'm the Lions I would be watching that very closely.

I'm definitely not going to say we are the best, but are far from the worst. We get photo galleries pretty much every training session and a lot of short clips and stories on Insta. I agree it would be good to see some more video clips. I assume they probably have someone very new in the role, so they may be learning on the job so will give the benefit of the doubt.

Hello all. I posted in a different thread in the fantasy football forum but I don't think anyone has seen it. I have sent out invites to all members from last year and there is 12 of 18 signed up already. I might give it another week or so and if no one else joins I will post the league code here and it will be first in best dressed. If anyone was in the league last year and didn't receive the link please feel free to PM me and I can give you the code.

I disagree with this. I've been on a few other sides websites and some have had like 2 or 3 photo galleries for the whole pre season!

I'd say Bowey will start in Salem's place. I've got a feeling Melksham will be the sub a lot of this year given his versatility. Plus it's an easy way to get him to 100 games for future father son options!

Hello all. The Demonland SuperCoach league is back up and running again and we currently have 12 of 18 spots filled. I sent out invitations to all coaches from last year when I re-established the league, so if everyone who was in it last year is keen to join again please check your emails for this. If you never received anything please let me know and I can send it to you manually. I'm also keen to look at a draft league if anyone else is interested. I am currently in two 'keeper' leagues with Ultimate/AFL fantasy and would be keen to do either a SC or Fantasy one that isn't a keeper league and is just a re-draft each year. I think generally having between 10-12 teams is the best number so if anyone is interested let me know and we might be able to start something.

I imagine our supporters during the 50's and 60's were the same..... how quickly it can change.

We play them twice this year at the G so I would suggest turning up and enjoying absolute demolition jobs. You can then sit there smugly and enjoy watching their supporters sitting there talking about the young kid who has had 15 touches and looks promising. Imagine the midfield battle of Reeves, Newcombe Worpel and Ward vs Gawn, Oliver, Petracca and Viney.... what a blood bath that will be.

I really don't see how Jefferson replaces any of those guys as they play a completely different role and he wouldn't have the tank to do what they do...

Burgoyne or Turner there?

I think there's a very low chance that Jefferson debuts this year. If van Rooyen didn't last year, I can't see the selectors backflipping on this philosophy and picking him this year given his slim size. My thoughts on the 5 most likely to debut this year: 1. Jacob van Rooyen 2. Blake Howes 3. Judd McVee 4. Bailey Laurie 5. Taj Woewodin

Any chance you can post the article in here? I can't read it...

Hey DLand, I was told not to post videos of training by another poster but I was just sharing a link to Instagram.... I assume that's ok given it's a public forum and not a video I have taken myself?

Not sure if this works.... but here's the link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/ColLYL2jfHH/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

They have been training. Posted a video on Instagram

Would love to know the expected timeline for Salem and if they expect him to be playing early in the season!

Correct. We was nominated at pick 35 by North, though many viewed him as a top 30 pick.

If I wait long enough.... there will be another player either first or last name 'Jackson'.....

Yeah I thought it was 4 as well, but then last year I recall someone on DLand mentioning it was 5!! If so, that is a terrible bit of list management and hopefully doesn't stop us from re-signing Kozzy! Hence why I was saying if it came down to it could we take a small financial hit to get the contracts off the books? Edit: I will say Tim Lamb has been pretty good in the list management role to date, but this is probably his worst effort.

I don't think Tommo will ever go to the wing. Howes, Jordon and Woewodin would be given shots on the wing before him. I'd say the club are now just waiting out until Tomlinson's contract finishes, while also having a pretty solid depth option at full back if required. I still can't believe his contract doesn't finish until 2024.... that is probably the worst long-term contract we've done out of the current crop. I wonder if things got tight, can we pay him out the final year to get it off our books? Or would it still come under the salary cap?

I'll be getting down to the Friday game v the Saints in Moorabbin. Only 10-15 mins from my place so that's perfect.
