Just considering some of the players still to come into the team.

Liam Jurrah

Jared Rivers

Cale Morton

Jack Watts

James Strauss

Austin Wonaemirri

Sam Blease

Neville Jetta

Given our current form, who would these guys replace?

Jordan Gysberts, Luke Tapscott and I've probably forgotten someone. And I'd say, the same team that beat RIchmond and Brisbane deserves to walk out against the Roos next week.

Liam Jurrah - still a long way away

Jared Rivers - will get his chance wghen we get an injury, or cop a belting

Cale Morton - automatic in

Jack Watts - doesnt deserve a game til he tears a game apart at Casey

James Strauss - hasnt done much to excite, to be honest

Austin Wonaemirri - will get his chance if he can stay healthy

Sam Blease - hasnt earnt a spot

Neville Jetta - loved this guy last season, and cant wait to see him back in the team

Woldnt mind an update on Addam Maric and Tom MCNamara either.

Well given the current form at casey, none of them except Rivers and Chaney areY ready. Wonna is playing in the casey 2s and looks well short fitnesswise and IMO is at least 3-4 weeks away from senior selection (although it would be nice to have him back for the NT game which by the way after the weekend is looking more formidable than we might have expected). JW's current form doesn't justify selection and is probably some weeks away from selection. Gone are the days when we select players for "PR" reasons as we did last year. We now have a realistic chance of making the finals this year and so every place in the team has to be fought over and justified on current form. Having said that, if Cale Morton and Liam Jurrah show reasonable form at casey when they come back I'm sure they will be selected immediately given their experience and the positions they play which will need boosting before the finals series.

Sam Bleeze is playing in Casey 2s and is still unfit. Still walks with a distinct limp off the field. Jetta is playing at Casey and certainly by the display at the wekend look slow. Don't know whether he is injured or unfit but was very sluggish at the weekend. Strauss IMO is 12 months away from senior selection. Is far too loose as a backman, and in any case has Rivers and Chaney before him.

A smokey we might consider later this year is Fitzpatrick. from the little I saw of Casey 2s at the weekend he is remarkably skillfull for such a big man, a great mark and very quick. I canseehim being a great foil for the Russian in the ruck and up forward eventually. Shows great potential.

Also PJ played very well for Casey at the weekend and in my view would be next in line if either of jamar or martin went down injured, particularly since Spencer look as though he has done a hammy again

Maric was one of the best at Casey at the weekend. At the moment though can't see where he could fit into the seniors particularly as he would needto be selected before Bail and very soon Morton. Can't see that happening.

McNamara had a subdued game on Saturday

    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.

    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.
