Maybe Robbo is closer to playing than we expect.

At 30 with a bad snap of your achilles in about Round 14 last year, he will take near 12 months to recover if at all. He is hardly training at the moment.

I think MFC will announce Robbo on the LTI just before Rd 1, elevate and select Spencer for the NM game. There is no rush for MFC to do it right now.

Just on a note on the absentees, Wheels is out again, which means he has had only had half a game in Launceston, which he hobbled out of, has anybody sighted him at training, assume this is why Cheney is getting so much time in the practice matches as a possible replacement, for all you team namers for Rd 1. Over on Demonology, somebody has picked Wheately and Wonna, and has Jamar on the bench, obviously doesn't read the news or the teams, unless they are hidden in the teamsheet for Friday somewhere.

Jamar will struggle to be ready for Rd 1 and is not in for PS 3.

Its just another injury for Whelan. As another poster has said that recurring calf injuries for 30yo players is bad karma and Wheels may struggle to get on the field consistently in what will be his final year IMO.

So who will our ruckmen be in Round 1? Jamar's injured, Meesen's crap, Spencer's a rookie. So it's PJ and who?

Definitely Whelan's last year.

I think rhino is right, big chance spencer could be elevated just before rd 1. This then allows robbo 11 weeks to get right and maybe play later in the year. I really hope meesen goes well tomorrow night and makes the selection process difficult.

Other than the minimum 8 weeks where he can't play a match?

If the Melbourne coaching staff are going to place him on the LTI list, they should do so now. That said, Nick48 on 'ology has reported that Robbo did basically the whole training session yesterday, so he may be back (at least at VFL level) sooner than expected.

I am not sure what to make of the Ology assessment but if Robbo is starting to participate fully in all training drills then I dont think its a goer to put him on the LTI. So there is a dilemna here.

I wouldn't bother with Meesen. He give us nothing in the middle and even less around the ground. We may pinch hit Martin round 1 in the ruck with PJ. :(

Sad but true at the moment at least.

I'm not expecting much tonight but I want the boys to have a red hot go and no injuries please!

........................... Cant they put Robbo on the LTI in the interim and bring Spencer onto the list? He may be raw but in my mind Spencer is our No 1 ruckman. ...............

Or possibly Tom McNamara? I have heard no mention of him for the whole pre-season. Does anyone know the nature of his injury?

I'm quite a fan of 2/285 myself :lol: Go the Hodgemeister!

Kicking into the teeth of a roaring gale according to faulty on 'ology. I assume the start was 7.30pm Queensland time which was a few minutes ago!

Cyclone Hamish is well on his way. Looks like Cairns is likely to be hit hard.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
