disagree completely, we've got mids coming out of our noses atm with laurie, jordon, woey, howes coming through and a top 5 pick plus ky brown this year (thanks freo), going after mature age forwards such as georgiades or even if we could prize King or Allen away from their respective clubs itll be well worth it

yeh whoops definitely meant harmes not dunstan
-
OUT: McDonald, Spargo, Sparrow, Tomlinson IN: Lever, Brown, Schache, Dunstan

btw luci formatting error on rivers with the cup and also theres a cup next to joel smiths name who didn't win a flag, also not sure what ur flag policy is with hunter who won one at the dogs :)
-
ziebell is still impacting, dusty is basically playing out of the goalsquare and is still a threat. i dont think theres any expectation internally or externally on any of the others you named to do more than play their role and offer leadership after extremely consistent careers, every year theres a retiring class dont think any of the guys you've listed are hanging on overly long tbf

mcvee hasn't been officially confirmed or announced by the club, only reported as close to a deal or likely to sign a deal according to afl media reporters

Turner replied to La Dee-vina Comedia's topic in Melbourne Demons
Going to make a second posts with some other fun reference points directly related to this weeks round 3 fixture, TMac moves past Barassi to 205 games played Viney moves clear of the Ox to 174 games Petracca will have officially played more games than Jack Watts as a dee Clarry's 150th moves him = with Whelan, Sean Wight and Jared Rivers Brayshaw and Harmes are on track to share their 150th together and move = with Ivor Warne-Smith, Nathan Brown and Leoncelli this week (games 146) ANB goes past Gerard Healy the dee to 131 Melksham is sneaking ever closer to 100 dees games and F/S eligibility (currently 96) Spargo draws level with Trenners Rivers moves past Ricky Petterd who he has currently got a mirrored record of (39-1-14) v (14-1-39), Sparrow is currently one game behind him. Petty plays game 51 the same Vanders finished on, and still 1 shy of Dogga Tomlinson moves even with Bugg, Scully and Wonaeamirri if named and finally Bowey matches the games of Jimmy Toumpas some contrasting careers in there hey!- 9 replies

Turner replied to La Dee-vina Comedia's topic in Melbourne Demons
i spend a large portion of time staring at afl tables and noting interesting and completely useless things, for example the fact Brayshaw and viney are already games record holders in their respective numbers really surprised me given the low magnitude of theirs and how close petracca, , but we have fielded a fairly consistent side, i was also surprised by how little number of 200 gamers we've had and how many of our current crop are going to sit so high on the total games tally by the end of their demon days also milestone for tmac he goes =top in #25 this week and outright the following week -
im so lost
-
interesting re JJ, on the fringes, already has a flag and we havent got any clear upcoming vacancies in the guts, woulda thought he'd be a low priority for us and would be happy to look elsewhere for opportunity and security
-
given freo have recruited chapman, young and traded clark in the last 3 years id say we're safe from a freo raid and wce are so far behind that rivers would be unlikely to make that move for at least 2-3 years now but for sure theres a risk there long term, especially as he's already won the flag, and could be well paid esp by wce long term. but we clearly like him and trust him hence his increased role in the early stages of this season and exposure up the field on ball
-
it's interesting to note that at present we have no 'B' rookie spots free and both our b rooks would be eligible to be retained as b rookies for the 24 season so early prognosis is theyd be unlikely but obviously plenty to still play out and so much could change

Oliver Lever Brown Brayshaw Fritsch Sparrow
-
OUT: Pickett, Laurie, McVee, Tomlinson IN: Viney, Fritsch, Salem, May McVee gets the vest or melksham retains it. it's stiff on Tommo and McVee but theres levels to this game and they'll get more chances over the course of the season
-
i'm still not convinced on laurie, the eye test, he is yet to pass it. will go straight out this week to make room for our 4 ins, and i wouldn't even give him the vest. given a game purely to see if it sparks something playing on this stage compared ot vfl as it does for some players but in 3 years has rarely knocked on the door. also needed to give a few debuts so we had some sub options throughout the season of which laurie may now feature heavily but long term ANB and spargo are so far in front and it concerns me a little given where he was drafted
-
was fairly disappointed in chandlers pre season, minimal scoreboard impact and jusr doesnt have the same buzz around the ball as he should, feel that spot is definitely up for grabs however laurie did nothing to press for it either, really missing bedford early especially with pickett up around the ball now. and spargo and nibbler are very secure in their place in the side as well given the lack of pressure from below. hopefully chandler makes way for fritta sooner rather than later. also BBBs showing was poor i thought
-
JVR, Howes, Laurie, Woey, Sestan is my prediction

The 2023 AFL Pre-season Supplemental Selection Period (SSP)
Turner replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
narkle gets mistaken as a crafty HF type when in actuality hes never managed to really turn a game there, he's actually not very flashy and much more suited to a pure on ball role as a first hands mid whos quite bullocking and has a touch of burst -
so glad my cousin could come onboard too! lucky i put a word in with JT and lamby for him
-
Redman stands out if the dons continue to struggle given the age of hibbo and with rivs long term commitment still a bit of a ? would we move on dunstan and take matt crouch or mathieson instead? maybe -but unlikely could hamling offer KPD depth should tommo request a move are bailey williams (hibbo/riv/deaksmith) or toby mclean (chandler/melk) better depth than what we currently have if the price is right?

Turner replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Szybkowski and ruckman O'Keefe have had their trials ended at bomberland, similarly small forward Leary at Hawks, and Woodcock and one or two others at the suns. compared to other seasons where they stay all preseason clubs are coming to a decision sooner and either trialing someone else instead or not wasting resources if they don't see a spot for them -

Turner replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
@58erthis was my source ahah, AMW played as a forward last year, hes a good tackler which could give him that jetta longevity if they don't rate his goalsense longterm potentially? taj i think is more a wingman and definitely an outside type of hb not a tackling lockdown type and then dsmith and mcvee are as u say the developing defenders down the queue -

we need a small defender, and TB has been training down back from what i've read
