Helps to put those ins at Tigerland against the talent that s left this year… Dusty Rioli Baker Bolton Plus loads retiring in addition to Dusty they have a way to go in their rebuild.

If Goodwin can get career best footy out of Trac, Clarry and the senior players, our younger players are ready to play finals again. It’s a complex horse our coach rides, and our last flag came off the back of a turbulent preseason…

They’d want to split pick 9 to pick up an extra player to replace McAdam if true. Be a shame I was/am looking forward to watching him play.

Great sage nailed another of Nibblers potential replacements in AMW. I also think McKee getting more involved playing Nibbla’s role could be good for us. Getting very excited after just a couple of digital Demonland training sessions. Salivating for the Beatles reunion as the two stars with the rogue off-season drama’s rejoin a rejuvenated Demons unit. Mind you, you’d think Roo must be enjoying being a forward while May and Lever are still on holidays. Big things from our blone forward, with Harrison enjoying an injury free preseason. Lots to like, keep up the reports, really enjoy the banter. Go Demons!

I'd like to see Kozzie in the leadership group. Has the ability to impact games and lift the team, and has matured quickly as a dad given his young age.

If Tauru is the potential unicorn (back, forward, mid) and slips to us, i say "take him", as he'll slot in down back, adding coverage for Riv and McVee to play more in the middle until he's ready... to play mid or cover the big boys retiring from the back line. Given our game's built on defence, may be worth it...

This is impressive...

5 - Smith 9 - Allan

Premiership here we come! This draw is a significant tail wind… Go Demons!

Watching some of those introductions it occurred to me the Smith would make a good replacement for Nibbler with a higher ceiling.

I’d think that if Jeff’s boy is likely to us we’d like to know a year out so we don’t spend our pick 9 use on Armstrong… when Kalani is eyeing that tall forward ruck role over a similar timespan…

I think we are beautifully positioned to win another flag or two over the next 3-5 years via the combo of youth and very talented premiership players. Similar to the Pies and Cats of recent years, get the blend right and it can be unstoppable.

I see Kolt a the apprentice to Jack Viney, tough contested relentless… a role that’s challenging until you’ve a couple of pre-seasons under your belt. Kolt loves contest, and has a strut that means he’ll be a team lifter and drawn to nailing his moments. lots to like about him.

Are there any former MFC players with the skill and experience to step into the CEO role?

You are a curious cat Picket with your love of Jefferson yet no faith in our forward line talls… Membrey adds little and would only stymie the development of the talls we have. Hardly us “sitting on our hands”.
