And maybe even Fitzpatrick and King (plus Hunt, Harmes, O. Macdonald and maybe even Garland and Grimes on occassion)!

It is a shame that the same group cannot play the Essendon NAB Challenge team instead of the Demons fronting up. It would be good match practice for all of them considering they are essentially a VFL team (i.e. Magner, Clisby etc.). Having said that, I am sure that the AFL would not grant us the concessions they grant Essendon.

Why have so many posters got Dawes in their round 1 starting line-up? He is suspended!

I like the look of this team and it will only improve Round 2 when Dawes is eligible and replaces Pedersen.

Surely you can't be serious that Trengove (with his famous sling tackle) is too soft! I would only pass on him for the reason that Richmond did last year (i.e. Injury)!

From the current players on the 2014 list: Kent Salem Toumpas Of the new boys: Frost Newton Vandenberg

It would follow from this that, as the ' provisional' suspension is in effect a "Clayton's Suspension", any penalty cannot include this time as it is not a bona fide penalty (viz. no backdating)!

Organization vs organisation! How can a rule with American spelling have any currency in OZ?

How are they provisionally suspended? They are all training! (Saad)

Spelling of Vandenberg! (Religious) Are they different people you have named in the two teams posted?

The first ten minutes of this game were the best time that I have had at the pub for a long time, the first goal from Newton being the highlight of the night!

I don't agree. There were worse out there tonight! Newton is an inspired trade!

This is the slack thing about the MFC investment in the Bentleigh Club. They only treat it as a passive investment and pokies venue (plus a piece of real estate). They should be hands-on managers and get it really cranked up as a Demon venue. When they first bought it, they had (injured) players working behind the jump and put on the big screen in the function room downstairs and had round tables and a good meal. Great atmosphere, in interstate matches, everybody wore their footy gear and I seem to recall they also had a raffle. It was actually a fun place to go. Now it is more fun down the pub!

It will be a great night hardtack. Also keen to look at the backline with Frost and Salem injected!

The food at the Mountain View is better than the Bentleigh Club plus better atmosphere (which is an indictment on the MFC)! M-M doesn't seem to like the food at the MV so maybe he can suggest somewhere?

Mountain View Hotel, Bridge Road Richmond is where I will be tonight, enjoying a counter as I watch us whip the Dockers! All Dees supporters welcome!

Let us hope that Toumpas becomes another one!

After news that Viney won't be playing (and comments from 'Al'), i have restructured my starting line-up (from the 28 No. remaining in the squad) as follows: FB: Jetta Frost Dunn HB: Grimes McDonald Salem C: Lumumba N. Jones Toumpas HF: Kent Hogan JKH FF: Gawn Dawes Garlett Foll: Jamar Tyson Cross Int: Garland, Pedersen, VandenBerg, Newton, Michie, Bail S: Matt Jones, Stretch Emer: McKenzie, Spencer I still would rather see all the new guys in the squad being given a run. (with McKenzie & Spencer as emergencies)

Considering we have both Petracca and Trengove to replace on our list, maybe it doesn't necessarily have to be "or"! I suspect that Mitchell White maybe the fly in the ointment standing in the way of one of them.

They are both in my starting 22 for that reason!

It is a disgrace that 'away' jumper. It looks like a Saints jumper if anything. Why can't we b like Collingwood? One (distinctly unique) jumper and just change the colour of your shorts!

Good luck with your project! (Now l know why I have little interest in Facebook.)

Considering our (Demon) boys are lining up against another former Casey boy this Thursday (Silvagni)!

[name=Sir Paul Roos" post="1054397" timestamp="1425356964] The thing i became really excited about today was the forward line we have Watts Dawes Kent Garlett Hogan Gawn all capable of kicking multiple goals and the delivery i think will be much better in 2015

FB: Jetta Frost Dunn HB: Grimes McDonald Salem C: Lumumba N. Jones Newton HF: Kent Hogan JKH FF: Gawn Dawes Garlett Foll: Jamar Tyson Cross Int: Garland, Pedersen, VandenBerg, Viney, Michie, Toumpas S: Matt Jones, Stretch Emer: Bail, McKenzie, Spencer I thought I would rather see all the new guys in the squad being given a run. (Bail, McKenzie, Spencer as emergencies)
