What a nightmare - over the next 2-6 weeks there are players at Casey that might by vying for promotion:

Rivers

Johnson

Wonna

Watts

Morton

Bell

From last night, Bail and further down the track, LJ Cool J.

Anyone I've forgotten?

Solutions? I suppose the 'cheap' game has disappeared from Bailey's agenda. Looking forward to watching the juggling act.

Don't bother with Johnson or Bell.

Rivers is going to find it hard to crack back into the side the way we're going.

Wonna will take time, as will Watts, and Morton is still a few weeks away, but will get back in straight away I feel.

Bail deserves his spot back but might not get it just yet.

injuries and form will give every one a go.

I hope Bailey coaches in such a way that the differences are minimal whoever plays.

We need a Team standard-whoever plays. A standard is set.

Everyone?

Yes, we have to assume that injuries and lapses in form will create situations where players not currently in the 22 will be called upon.

But the names Strauss, Cheney, McNamara, Maric, Watts, Wonaeamirri, Jetta, Blease, Spencer, Gysberts, Bail and then later on Morton, Jurrah and Tapscott all, for mine, come before the names Bell, Johnson and Miller (and, for that matter, Newton).

I don't think there is any future in Bell, Johnson or Miller, and, if the necessity arises, there are others I'd like to see in the team before them.

A nightmare? I won't be losing any sleep over this sort of scenario.

I think it's important that they keep the same players together as long as they continue to win, you have to reward the players for effort. Unless there is a really poor performance put in by any player I would expect the team to stay as is.

Your right Titan, but its got to be, Like for Like. Mature player out,,, mature player comes in. Kid comes in,,,for a kid going for a spell.

If we don't keep the ratio for experience & inexperience in the team balance this year, well, we'll just fall over like Rnd1.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.
