Garland should have been monstered by Fev if strength was an issue.

It is not.

Anybody who thinks Miller comes in for Watts........ have a look at Watt's last quarter. The kick across the ground to end up in a Brad Green goal, and the kick to Dunn who was left unmarked in the goal square after a great faked kick.

There is no way Miller makes either play. The kid has vision. and our vision is the future.

NO CHANGE

(Scully out, ummmmmm no.)

Saw those passages and loved them, as well as 2 others down the Punt Rd end where Watts singled out the Walpirri Warrior and slotted the ball beautifully down his throat. Those were grace and poetry in motion - and a little bit of why I just love this country and its culture of equality (sniff). Watts is coming up nicely - I even saw him sprint hard after the ball in a 1 on 2 contest/chase late in the game (!!). Jurrah owes some of his return to form in this match to the accuracy of Watts' boot, the quality of his vision, and at least in those instances, the intelligence of his decision making.

i think its funny that every thing Jack Watts does that is good gets talked about. The Kick to Dunn in the goal square showed good vision, but i dont think it would have been talked about if anyone else had done it!

You're wrong to an extent.

Any promising young player on our list would receive the same praise.

It is especially relevant though, because he is in the large group of players on our list that are still largely an unknown.

I'd hope he has that sort of vision, but to see him display it in a game is the evidence that he does.

The same fuss would be made if it were Scully or Trengove or Gysberts or Tapscott or Bennell or...

Not the same if it were Green or Bruce, for example, because they are known quantities.

J Hird? I liked Jack's game yesterday and he showed plenty of nous.

Funny you say James Hird, Because watching him i thought he so reminds me of Hirdy the way plays.Still has a long way to go to be like Hird, but similar type of player.

out: Bail

in: Miller

Based on ?

Dunn is FF Watts CHF ...wheres Miller going ? Bail's job is vastly different from anything Frosty can do.

Or do you anticpate a rejuggling ? Dont see a great need to.

Why elevate Miller ..what is he going to bring to the game ?

Absolutely love Bail and think next year with a pre season and continued games he will become close to a top 10 B & F for us.... shud not be dropped... i think we have Bennell and Jurrah as our goalsneaks... against Hawks i just feel we can go without Wona and bring Moloney in....

Posted (edited)

This is another week without Moloney getting in a game, it is getting like Junior, if he is fit this week, he will come back through Casey, can't see them risking somebody who has lost the edge, (listen to Junior on the Club website "I am getting my match fitness back")..against the Hawks, we do want to win this one, I would be very surprised if there are any changes, as for Miller he has not been offered a contract for next season, so obviously not in the plans, so why bring him in?

Is Moloney re-injured or will he be available?

What does PIA mean?

There's only one Pia.

Does Pia Miller ring a bell?

I actually laughed at that post.

Good call.

Dunno... it could be hard to forgive you on that one.

Yeah that makes sense. Drop a quick, line-breaking half back flanker for a slow, never-made-it-at-AFL-level forward. Against Hawthorn, with their zone.

Bail goes nowhere.

Wasn't sure if you were serious or not.

It's common knowledge I thought.

Either way, if you knew what he meant, the original post gave me a chuckle.

Moloney will be available.

Not sure if i missed something but did Cale Morton play for Casey on the weekend or was he injured?

As far as I know Cale was an emergency but had to attend the game as Moloney went out, Jones came in. If we had an injury during warm up then Morton would have come in.

Unhappy players go else where and Bailey has shown he doen't cope well with unhappy players. (EG C Johnson, S Buckley) He prefers to get rid of them. Morton is not the only young player unhappy with their treatment by the coaching staff. ( inside information)

30 into 22 won't go ... and so 8 are unhappy. I'd be worried if we had a group of players who were as happy as Larry when they didn't get a game !

Thank goodness Harrison doesn't rule !

(Sorry - just had to add to the chorus of those who have criticized this mischievous post)

Just thought I'd look back at the Round 1 team & compare it to last weekend's team & was surprised at the number of changes:

Midfield: Sylvia (now) instead of Moloney (then);

Defence: Bail, Garland & Bartram instead of Grimes, Warnock & Strauss;

Forwards: Jurrah, Watts, Wonna & PJ instead of Petterd, Miller, Bate & Spencer.

Some very good players from Round 1 that we're missing, but overall I think we're in better shape to take on the Hawks this week than we were then.

Thats true but the nature of injury is different, Junior had a torn Hammy & Beamer badly bruised thigh, not torn, so i think there is less worry of reinjury with Beamer. However, having said that, it will be interesting to see which way the footy dept wants to go.

I can see Beamer coming in against a physical & desperate Hawks & so, probably the most likely to go back sounds like Bail. He's be handy for Casey as well. Or McKenzie.

Better balance to this team from the Rnd 1 version IMO. Grimes would be more than handy though ;)

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
