On MMM Doc Peter larkins has suggested Bruce has nicked his hammy, which explains why he left the ground late in the last.

Opens the door for a number of youngsters. Bail/Gysberts?

Posted

Yeah saw this. Bravely kept going until the ball was out of the area so he could come off.

If he's injured it paves the way for Bail, McNamara, Cheney, Gysberts and/or Strauss. But I feel there will be other players out of the team this week.

Posted

There are a lot of people on this site who have claimed over the years that we're a better team without Bruce in the side. Now we'll get to see if they're right.

Posted

Well there's an obvious replacement in Morton to come in for next week. After 2 games at Casey he should be ready.

Posted

As much as I hate to say this.....

We will be better off if he misses next week.

Why do you say that, is it because of the 10 turnovers he was involved in or just his poor disposal generally?.

... Bail/Gysberts?

Flip a coin on that one. Bail has been great in the games he has played and watching Gysberts at Casey he has impressed me also, although I feel Gysberts will be in the side later in the year. In saying that MacDonald might be back in the side next week, to replace Bruce...

Bate was injured too . did ankle in the first quarter. Davey had concussion in the second. Casey had a big win so there could be some changes...hopefully Gysberts. Wonna kicked a couple and they me pick him for his 'home town' match in Darwin.

Should have come and seat next to me. Could have helped me take on the mole to my left who kept bitching that we shouldn't complain about our players making mistakes, even if those players have been around for 200 games. Oh the rage!

We shouldn't ever be happy that one of our own is injured, but this is an exciting opportunity that we probably wouldn't have got to witness anytime soon since Bruce seems to be an untouchable.

So nobody heard the opinions of the commentators and Dr. Larkins that it was just a cramp? Jeez.

Both and the fact he handballs to a teammate in a worse position to stop himself from taking a tackle

After the game they confirmed that he pinged the hamstrings. Larkins said 2-3 week injury.

Charming. :rolleyes:

he kicked it out on the full. classic case of holding the hamstring as an excuse for a huge clanger. should be dropped for a young kid. give gysberts his first taste. johnson out for dunn. morton and wonna in for hughes and bennel.

Hughes is a bit stiff to be dropped, Bennell is showing signs but it just does not look like he is going to break the pack anytime soon (dont get me wrong, I love watching the young man play).... May be Bate missing out due to his ankle. Either way looks like great ins :)

IN - Gysberts, Morton

OUT - Johnson, Bruce

Sound good?

Just doesn't make sense to me to drop young forwards when the main problem is getting smashed in the clearances whenever Jamar isn't able to give the mids an armchair ride, combined with absolutely terrible delivery into the forward line.

HFFs - even those with much more experience than Hughes & Bennell - will always struggle in that situation.

Some of our senior mids only seem to be effective if our ruck is dominating, which IMO is a serious concern into the future.

:lol: I know what you mean Jaded, had an idiot like that sitting near me, it could have been her husband. I hope you told the old biddy to mind her own business, i did :)

I particularly appreciated Bruce's 2 attempts to deliver the ball inside 50 in the first quarter under minimal pressure when the tone of the game is set. Have not seen a skew wiff torpedo pass for some time.

Posted

Bruce was building some nice form. He will be given a few weeks off to heal.

Bater didnt look right, he too will be given some time off.

Add PJ to that list (omitted)

You meant "moll" of course.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
