Not that sandilands fella.

Kyle Cheney, Its time, Kyle. Cheney for the defense! A south australian lad.

his not from south australia. warracknabeel boy

He's too slow and his disposal isn't better than Bartram's, I can't believe the footy department gave him another contract. I'm willing to write him off as a spud.

I'll be waiting to be proved right or wrong.

Last week Connelly said he had being showing really good form at Casey, and was in line for a call up soon.

Fetta is tough and has some balls about him. Needs to sharpen up his disposal and work on a few areas of his game, but if he is going to be a part of this team going forward he needs to be given a chance at the top level to prove he belongs.

Could surprise a few with his selection.

Also, there is always room for another Ranga in the team. Gingers make great footballers!!

Cheney a spud?

Ho hum.

Sometimes I think that when people have red hair it makes it hard for some people to remember their age.

Cheney goes alright and may yet take another step. I'm not gonna go over the top because there's no need or point to.

He's alright, worth keeping an eye on and giving a run when others are out of form.

Agree, bring him in for Bartram next week.

I thought Bartram was good for us yesterday; better than plenty of others.

If Bruce is injured, Cheney in. Cheney has simply deserved a spot on his performance over the past 3-4 weeks at Casey.

Give fanta pants a go purely out of sympathy for his shock of red hair.

On second thought its not our defence which is deficient atm. Rather a Bail (if fit) come in to inject some pace and aggression into the midfield.

I think Bartram's been more then servicable over the last few weeks but is he going to be there in 2012 onwards when we're looking towards winning a premiership? I'd say no. Cheney and Strauss are the two most likely players to hold down that defensive stopper back pocket position and Cheney's form warrants him getting a crack. I saw him with Casey last week and he looked good.

We just need Cheney to develop Strauss's kicking skills or Strauss to get Cheney's toughness and that back pocket position is taken care of!

I've seen him play plenty & reckon he's a good footballer. He's not a speedster but his pace is OK. He's probably quicker than Whelan was.

Can play flank or pocket depending on the right matchup.

He can add some hardness as well.

Yeah but it's Bruce who's going out injured.

Cheney or Joel MacDonald?

im not convinced on cheney either...maca, rivers, bartram all well ahead of him

will be a good vfl player and if we were a decent side he wouldnt get a sniff, expect him to be delisted in time to come due to strngth of list and lots of backmen

we need a small defender, maybe jetta will go back. much in the whelan mould

Nonsense. Bartram is 22, 18 months older than Cheney. Both/either can be there in 2012. Strauss is just starting out - we'll just have to see how he's going in a while.

Not saying age is the reason why Bartram wont be there, more so because apart from his stopping ability I don't think he offers a whole lot. Struggles at times in the air against good marking small forwards and his disposal and decision making is questionable. Cheney's been carving it up in the VFL and looked good in the matches he played last year.

It's nothing against Bartram, just with the competiotn for spots on the list starting he may struggle to stay on the list end of next year or 2012 IMO. I'd be more then happy if he proves me wrong however.

Joel Macdonald should play next week. We need experience in the side if Bruce is not there.

Cheney will get his chance, but we must try to win this week-the season is not done yet.

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
