"Had a few comments about our forward line. Project it forward a few years with a developed Jurrah, Watts, Bennell, Jetta, Morton +++"

Interesting to see Morton on his list, the club must see him as a future forward, but no Petterd. Maybe he means that Petterd does not need the development of the others, or maybe he will not be there, or maybe I'm reading more into it than intended and he just didn't name all of the forward line.

Not another thread about Petterd supposedly leaving...

He's already developed IMO. If he can take big pack marks and kick goals the way he had been before he did his shoulder, then he's developed.

And right now we really need him back.

No Petterd is very much in development. This year marks another injury blighted year for him. He has only played 35 games so far and still has plenty to learn. His future may not be the forwardline.

But I would not be reading too much into Schwab's inadvertent omission of him.

This is just a general note about our future prospects.... it ends ++!!

I wouldn't take any of the names - or omissions - literally

Interesting things to take from that comment:

1. Morton is going to be a forward.

2. If you assume that Petterd would have been there, then is could be a concession that he is not going to be around.

3. Green is not mentioned. If we read something into Petterd's absence, then we must equally read something into this. Is his time at the club shorter than we all think?

Alternately, you can take it as a throwaway line on Twitter that was made without consultation of our long-term strategic plans.

many a freudian slip has weight !!

Strange indeed for mine Petterd isnt mentioned, he's far from 'developed'... on his way for sure but not there either.

Strange indeed really...

we have to stay positive that he is staying with the club next year and beyond

Oh my! This is proof that we're only going to play a 5 man forward line in future! Less if we have injuries, of course.

Come on people!

I only had 140 characters to work with.

Add Aussie, Ricky Petterd, Col Sylvia, Matthew Bate and perhaps a Col Garland going forward. We also think Jack Fitzpatrick is a real chance, and let's not forget Stef Martin. The point I was making is there is lots of scope.

Cam, we are a nervous bunch of supporters at Demonland. Hope the club did well at the Ball. I enjoyed it.

I don't think that says Morton is a forward. I think it reflects their hopes that he'll play as a forward, lead up, but I can see he'll be able to play at CHB as well, & IMO, may suit that spot better. But time will tell I guess.

I can't see Morton @ Full forward??? so they must be imagining a leadup Half forward role??? But I can see a Key Defensive post sweeping the ball out & delivering with tasteful precision.

I see Watts switching between both Key forward posts,,, so with these to being a versatile pair of talls, we just need a versatile Power Forward who can switch with Wattsy, between FF & CHF.

I hope that's the plan.

Lol at the gullibility (word?) of everyone who thought that tweet signified the end of Petterd, Wonna and Bate. Ridiculous.

Thanks Cam. I think it is not lack of confidence in the development of the players. Moreso lack of confidence in the forward strategy of not having any of those players actually leading at the ball carrier or inside 50m for that matter.

If Green is not a developed forward by now who is?

The impression I get is that Twitter is a very "on the go" kind of social interaction, and I doubt he was siting at his computer with a list of players in front of him, hoping to name all of them. Not naming Petterd is no big deal. Players get left out of lists off the time when they're named off the top of someone's head.

    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
