If we go through year with a relatively fit list and don’t make the 8 I’ll be bitterly disappointed. Simple as that.

That Vic team appears more balanced.

@Baghdad Bob, how do you see Sparrow tracking?

Trotting out Gawn, Oliver and May for a non-points contest doesn't really peel the skin from my banana but the cause is much greater than all of our collective concerns to be fair.

I support it. As usual, the biggest concern is the risk of injury to any player.

“They’re a good group, they’re quite an experienced group of coaches” Interesting.... I thought we’d be on the lower end of experience.

Which ones that?

Sticks his chin out...

If we’ve spent pick 3 on a bloke who won’t play in the seniors for at least two years then I’d be thoroughly amazed. If you can’t see what Jackson has in terms of capabilities and then mesh it with an AFL program and deduce a set of possible outcomes that couldn’t see him play earlier rather than later, then well, we have plucked a guy that should’ve been a third rounder and we know that’s not the case.

Such an open question. In terms of fitness? Skill work? Game plan/rules understanding? I realise it’s a combination of all of these and other things so we are really narrowing it down to the newbies and the rookies... For me it’s probably Bedford. His time trial running has been fantastic so he’s got that right... shown a few glimpses last year so I reckon the staff should be investing heavily into Toby. He and Kozzie could prove really dynamic in the forward half as a pairing.

You’re basing your opinion off a couple of skerricks of information. Viney would not have got this far in his leadership journey had it not been for the team and coaches promoting him with good reason.

What does this one look like “homoerotic fantasy' theme?

Private source or media?

“AFL legend Brendan Goddard”. Lol Good grief, did he write it himself?

The way and the rate the game is being sanitised, players like AVB will be a thing of the past very soon. I want to see him round one at Optus, shitmixing Jamie Cripps.

Personally I think it’s too early to write Dunkley off as ‘depth’. He’s been in the system for half a season, was highly rated in that mid-season draft and has played senior footy. It took his brother Josh a few years to get going and his whole family are sporting achievers so there’s a lot of scope for him - particularly being a young bloke. Rivers inclusion in the senior team will be dictated by Hibbo’s availability and form. A season developing at Casey will be fine however I do I agree he looks a likely type to slot in to the team earlier rather than later.

Because they say “buy now and receive your membership pack before Christmas.” Other than that, I couldn’t give a [censored]. But, why say it? It’s fail upon fail.

As per normal, my membership pack on my dedicated Demon payment plan failed to reach WA prior to Christmas. Every [censored] year.

Whatever the differences are we have on this forum, have a wonderful Christmas celebration with your family tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip, Dunk.

I won’t give him the satisfaction.

You’re the bloke who told everyone that this time last year the team was going just fine. Just because you attend training means nothing to me. I’m extremely grateful for the terrific insights of the other track watchers - just not yours. Don’t be upset by that, I’m only being pragmatic.

Whilst the rest of the team are wearing footy boots. Good observation I’d call it. Something you struggle with.

“Look at the ‘runners’ I have to train in!” Alarm bells.
