Dangerfield, no way mate. Plenty of mids ahead of him. Dustin Martin also would be lucky to be in the team at this stage.
Matthew Lloyd has moved Tom McDonald into his rolling AA team. And fair enough too, he has been unreal. He also has Gawn as ruck, and Hogan in the forward pocket.
Will be interesting to see which Demon players Lloyd has in his rolling AA team on the Sunday Footy show today.
Hes down 0.7 disposals per game from last season but he is averaging career highs for clearances, tackles, inside 50's, contested possession and metres gained (almost double there). I bet his 2nd half of the season will be even better than the first. Hes a marvel.
But whos the 2nd tall backman? Fritsch can not play as a KPD.
If the team was picked now how many would we have? I have 4 Demons in the team - Gawn (ruck), Hogan (CHF /anywhere in the forward line), Jetta (back pocket) and Oliver (ruck rover or bench).
Hes gone to another level the last two weeks vs Adelaide - 37 disposals, 14 marks, 5 inside 50's, 3 goals, 12 score involvements, 791 metres gained vs Western Bulldogs - 39 disposals, 8 marks, 9 inside 50's, 1 goal, 5 score involvements, 637 metres gained
How the hell did we snag this kid in Round 2 of the draft? 26 possessions, 14 marks, 1 goal, 4 tackles Racking up the footy since moving to the midfield... elite disposal.... amazing in the air. Wowee!!!!!!!
Well we are loaded with big bodied ball winning mids, JR. Thats the only role Dom can play and hes about 10th in line. He will be in demand from other teams like the Bombers, Carlton and a few others, so we should strike whole the iron is hot. And may need to free up cash to land Gaff or another big fish we are into. - or who are into us.

Wow thats a big day indeed.
Tomorrow. Buckle up.
Would be awesome to see that one ticked off one day. We must be the only team left from the VFL era that doesn't have a 100 goal kicker in a season.
If they get a Demon midfielder it will be Tyson.
We are 7-3 and footy is so good at the moment... but its hard not to get excited about the possibility of Gaff coming to us. It really feels like it will happen, or that its at least very realistic. 2019 (and beyond) midfield Oliver - Viney - Brayshaw - Petracca - Jones - Salem - Hogan - Gaff - Fritsch - Spargo - Harmes - ANB Scary! Like the Geelong triple premiership teams who had a midfield that batted 12 deep that was unstoppable, and untaggable... but ours would be even more dangerous due to the likes of Hogan, Tracca, Spargo and Fritsch who could go forward and tear a game open. Oliver will soon prove to be a dangerous goalkicker too who can rest forward and menace teams.. the evolution is coming. Even if we dont get Gaff we will still be downright frightening. Yeah, get excited folks.
You left out the one who knows the inner workings of the club better than anyone and whos sources are as good as it gets. Hes the only one who knows if Gaff is coming or not... and not even Gaff himself knows. Paging him now @Satyriconhome
Our midfield is probably already the best in the comp and thats with all the elite young talent yet to play anywhere near 100 games of footy. The improvement to come will be scary. If you add in Gaff to that.... whats the level above scary?
Nearest the pin, how many goals will Jesse end up kicking in 2018? Currently on 26 goals in 10 games. I'm going with 71.... reckon he will kick a a few big bags in the back half of the season. Thats just for the home and away season , if we play finals (which its looking like we will) he could give 80 a crack.
I'd be staggered if that were true.. would take some really creative accounting and a lot of our players taking below market value.
I saw Werridee posted and I assumed you had posted our best 22 for next season with Gaff in the side. So disappointed!
