Biggest issue is list depth, the list is worse than last year… simple. 

Pathetic team defence… a lot to improve on. 

Tomlinson has played back up ruck for us previously, from all reports he has had a great preseason. 
Schache has also had experience as a back up ruck at the dogs. 
Obviously not the preferred options but opportunities have presented for players to step up and grab their chance. 

Well done on providing this content to all Demonlanders, appreciate your efforts. 
Some gems in the interview from Taylor who yes gives measured responses. 
Would be great to get Tim Lamb on a podcast, a natural talker who may divulge more with responses. 
 

Why didn’t we select Daniel Curtain?

Watson any day of the week over Windsor, I’ve seen a lot of both of them play, don’t get the Windsor hype. 
Watson is elite in every way and worth trading up for IMO.

Got mail or an educated guess?

Only a hunch, has previously been highly rated, trained with us for a week last pre season. Impressive young fella. 

Harry DeMattia s smoky for our 2nd pick.

Or Riak Andrew if he's any good.

He’s not draft standard. Coached against him this yr. 

Dogs won’t take Curtain, they are stacked with talls. 
 

Curtain at 6

Best mid available at 11

He is tiny, gets plenty of it but sprays them everywhere. Sounds perfect for us. 

You don’t seem to talk to highly about Nick Watson, have you seen a lot of him playing? 

What a great night as always, highlights were the 11 hall of fame inductee’s, Melkys speech about his best mate Hibbo and of course Maysy. 
 

Goody spoke well, mentioned he has never been more excited/ confident about an upcoming pre season. 

Heard a rumour that he was off to Geelong, don’t know how much truth is in the rumour 🤷🏻‍♂️

Heading to the grand final and will be keeping a close eye on Sanders, I’ll report back this evening. 

Arie Schoenmakers for Tassie is impressive, booming left foot kick, 192cm back, looked good vs Eastern in the prelim today. 

List Management, all the talk is we have a great list…

To many long term contracts that have come back to bite us and left us with a lack of depth in certain areas. 
 

Grundy

TMac

Brown

Harmes 

Tomo

Needs to be addressed. 

Really hitting home now what we let slip vs pies on Thursday night. 
Tough road ahead…

He is a draft slider, was highly touted last year but has slid this year due to professionalism is the word in the ranks. 

Is Ports future 1st a realistic trade option for us?

 Been waiting 30 mins to get in, still nothing 😞

Agree. Futures to be considered for fringe or older players … Dunstan, Laurie, Hibberd, BBB, Melksham,TMac, Tommo, Harmes, Grundy and Jordon.  Can’t see all going but probably half of this group will be traded, delisted or seek better opportunities elsewhere 

Zero chance Laurie gets delisted, shows promise and will develop further next year IMO. 
 

Hopefully BBB retired, Hibbo likely also. 

I’m hearing Fritch is out for 6-8!weeks, having surgery today. 

What time does the Big Freeze sliders start tomorrow? Looked online but couldn’t find anything.
