Ok, so these aren't the changes I WANT but after reading the player review, I expect that Bailey will do this:

OUT: Warnock, Jetta, McKenzie

IN: Sylvia, McDonald, Bennell

Shame cos I like those 3 blokes, and think they are all part of our future, but I get the impression they're not amongst the favourites for the coaches.

Can already feel my frustration with Rivers, Bruce, and Miller building for next week... Will do my best to give them ANOTHER chance

Will not happen, but would like to see (based on yesterday's shocker):

OUT: Rivers, Miller, Warnock

IN: McDonald, Sylvia, Cheney

Also, one A. Davey needs to show up this week.

Yep, good call, fair call......love flash and have no doubt he will play a beauty this week as he does every 2ND week!

Be very careful when quoting Bruce's efficiency rate is it counts a handball to someone about to get crunched (who then gets crunched) as an effective disposal.

Which brings me to the motion for Champion Data to bring in a new stat called the "CAUFU" stat. the first three words are: "Complete and utter..." It represents, identifies and verify's the footballer responsible for such acts which directly or indirectly cause a turnover of severe magnitude.

I'll let others decipher what the rest of it is. Here's a clue: There were plenty of these yesterday. Go figure. :wacko:

I really think we need to start to play a second ruckman this will enable Jamar to push forward. With only 1 option available we need to bring in Spencer. Where is Martin?

Any source for that? And any sort of ETA?

Out: Jetta, Rivers, Mckenzie, Miller

In: Bennell, Cheney, McDonald, Sylvia

Out: green deck chairs

In: blue deck chairs

You're all over it like a fat kid in a lolly shop, aren't ya?

Keep the faith, those deck chairs will deliver :wacko:

Believe he has had an operation on his "hip". Don't know what is wrong. Unknown when he will return.

Jamar is a ruckman. Currently he is a frequently dominant ruckman.

Why the need to stick him up forward and take away from one of our strengths?

Posted

Jamar needs a rest at some stage and at the moment when he takes the 5 min out of the ruck we get smashed. I would like to see him rest up forward as a deep target for 5-10mins per quarter. We need to play a second ruck we can't keep having Miller, Dunn and Sylvia ruck they get smashed.

As of round 13 we're arguably the worst team in the competition. West Coast could give us a run for our money, but at least they beat us at the G. The good news for Bailey is that we're under the radar. The media have gone very soft on us.

But, we all understand it's a work in progress. While we have players that are clearly not good enough for us to become a top 4 side then we'll tread water until the talented youth develop. So I don't get too many jollies contemplating one spud replacing another.

I'll say. No thanks to S.Baker, and to the lesser degree S.Johnson and the MRP.

A good summation of the situation.

Gysberts 2 weeks away.... hurt his back. Injury list on afl website.

So a four week injury in essence factoring in the week off and the weekend just gone?

Glad we heard about that two weeks after the fact. :(

Nah not really Jack, I doubt it occurred in the Pies game. Gys was at the boxing camp - I am wondering if it happened there.

It was mentioned pre-game that he had hamstring tightness, obviously back related.

I didn't notice Gys at the boxing camp Ox?

Thanks for the update..hopefully a problem soon alleviated as these can become troublesome. Surely we've had our share of damn fine players over the last 20 years cut down by injury at one stage or another, the Ox being one, Glen Lovett, Stinger, Jakovich, Lyon...on and on.

Really think we missed Gys in the middle last week, even being young he is an addition into midfield rotations and a good one at that.

I am pretty certain I saw him in photos. He is a good clearance player thats for sure. Another one of our boys with a small frame but willing to get to the bottom of packs. It's good to see.

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    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.
