Jones? Hannan?

Perhaps you should start the discussion with a little bit of evidence to back up your claims rather than outsource the heavy lifting.

Do you think we'll still go with the Co-Captaincy in 2019? Jonesy doesn't seem so convincing in this article. https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-02-13/demon-skipper-not-keen-to-hand-over-the-mantle-yet "I'll put my hand up for it again, there's no doubt about that, but whatever's best for the group that will play out in the next week or two ... I still think I'm improving but when the time's right, whenever that may be, I'll do what's best for the footy club and that's the most important thing."

The Demons return to enemy territory. The last time I went to that ground Jakovich lined up on Gary Pert. Who would have thought back then that Pert would be our CEO now.

I'd love to see Gus up there.

I think we should wait until at least the JLT games til we start to put new recruits in the best 22. I think the only exception at the moment is May. KK and Pruess probably get a look in too but the 18 years olds and ex-VFL will have to earn that spot and it's way too early to make those calls.

I'm impressed with how well spoken he is. Surely he should be considered leadership material. Expecting big things from Macca this year.

I'm an ex-Victorian living in SA and I've had an MCC membership since I was 15 and we've always taken out the Melbourne suporters "donation". I don't care that we don't get anything for it although it would be a nice bonus. I'm happy to give it as a donation and I rarely get to go to any games at the G.

Top left has to be Team Speed due to the Flash icon. Bottom left would appear to be Team Indigenous due to the boomerang. Guesses for the other two?

When do they come back from holidays in the New Year? Would love to catch a session if possible while back in the Motherland.

Thanks for the this. It was great to re-live that wonderful season when being a Dees fan in SA was fun for once.

Thanks to all who reported from training today. How are our other recruits from last year tracking? Baker and Petty.
