you may be surprised with PETTERD'S inclusion this week, but you'll find he won't play in defence, but he will almost definately play in the forward line, in a Defensive Role on Joel McDONALD, who's been in great form running off half back, i just think you'll find he's been brought in to try stop that! And Nathan Jones will be a late inclusion for McLEAN, who from the whispers i've heard will be a late withdrawal with injury..

Just a few points for you guys! Cheers! Go dees!

Thanks for the tip mate. Time will tell if it's on the money, but it's always good to get this plausible sort of information.

Watts out Jones in Thats a fact

Not surprised if that's the case. If there is one team you don't want to send your underdeveloped No.1 pick out against, it's those snipers up in Brisbane, just ask Mark Murphy.

I think you'll find that they take emergency players with them on interstate games, hence Jones not being named for Casey.

Looking forward to match tonight. Will be interesting to see how they perform.

Last time Jones played up there he had his best game and kicked 4 or 5 from memory.

Spoke to casey/melb official at game today

Did this official explain what the hell was the brilliant plan/ reasoning behind naming then dropping him?

Is he injured? :o:blink:

Said he was resting pretty much. Going up for experience. also saying that he was a little sore. But didn't leave out that he could come back in as the flu is rampant at melbourne as hughes and wheatley had it pretty bad today

So he's resting, he's sore, they took him up for the experience (why name him then drop him, when he could have just been the traveling emergency instead?), but he could play because of the flu <_< :wacko:

That is not at all silly or confusing.

From a PR perspective it wouldn't be the worst move.

There'd be a fair bit of media heat if we were to drop him - much easier to take him up and not play him.

If we were to do that, the news of his omission would then be buried amongst all the other footy chat that arises from the weekend's games.

afl website says jones in for bate

Very Happy that Jack gets another go.

Mathews or Sheahan shouldn't get any credit for their thoughts on Jack

Last night it was Jones in for Watts

Not that I should be happy that anyone is unwell, but I'm very pleased that Bate is out and Jack gets another chance.

Hopefully Bate goes on to infect the rest of the group and we can lose to West Coast next week on grounds of not being able to field a team ;):lol:

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
