Warnock named in case Frawley doesn't pass the test I assume.

Any chance he could be the Sub as insurance against Frawley fading out around the 3rd quarter?

None, if the club's Sub policy is anything like how I'd have it.

I agree with t_u, I think that's the logical arrangement.

going to be very interesting to see who we name on the bench as well as the sub for this sunday. I was originally thinking jetta as sub until i had a chat to my bro who is also a passionate demon.He made a good point that because the hawks are a slower team with bigger bodies we cant afford to lose jettas pace as the plan surely has to be to run them off their legs and take risks to beat the rolling zones, floods etc. what do you guys think?? maybe rivers or mcdonald as sub, maric??

Ha, Who's gonna take Brucey!

Nobody as he will find a way to turn it over :P

No one. And it'll be the first time Bruce hits a Melb player on the [censored] in his career Ha ah ah ah a

I think Jetta has been wrongly pigeonholed as a fast Indigenous player. In my opinion he doesn't have great pace but his positioning, fantastic lateral movement and good set of evasive skills allow him to overcome the lack of burst speed. With these skills I believe he is better suited to a more inside midfield role than a speedy outside midfield role.

Or warnock might play to match up on Hale. Alternatively, Rivers might pick him up.

Macdonald out for Frawley for team balance. Petterd Martin Jetta on the bench, Sub Maric. Petterd looked more dangerous than Maric last week, and IMO we should rotate the sub week to week or every two weeks to maintain match fitness.

Really important to get the ball quickly through the hawks zone and try to isolate their shorter backline.

I don't mind the option of using Martin on Hale, we did this last week with Martin in the Back line, both will go into the ruck as second ruckman. It means to workload of Hale and Martin will be the same.

Posted

Given Frawley will lack match fitness (and assuming he plays, of course) I expect MacDonald to be on the bench with Petterd, Martin and Jetta (sub). Maric misses out. This adds a defender, when compared with last week's team, meaning Grimes or Tapscott or both can be given a chance up the field as part of the shifts which occur with rotations.

like the thinking there La Dee-vina Commedia

Dont agree with all of the Cam Bruce bashing though, the bloke was great to our club

I'm with you there, it's pretty pathetic to bag a bloke who finished top10 in the B+F ten years running including a win and two runner-ups

I think the 'he might hit a demon target for once' line has been trotted out about 35 times this week

plus hes a really great bloke. LAst year at the western demons dinner we had Brucy & Green sit on our table. Brucy was a real top bloke, really laid back and probably started more conversation than anyone else on the table!

The skipper confirmed on Twitter a short time ago, that they've welcomed Chip_8 back into the fold for Sunday. Looks as though he has got through training.


Posted

Joel Macdonald is the out for James Frawley.

Perhaps Maric or Petterd to be the sub then. Looks as though Chip will have to play a full game.

in reference to the first comment what was the go with the sewell trade, I didnt even know we went after him. What went wrong with the trade that lead to disaster. Like I said I dont even know the start of the story but he would have been a hell of a pick up

All parties bar Ryan Ferguson agreed to the trade.

Melbourne were trying to off load Ryan Ferguson for Sewell but Ferguson refused to go. I think the hawks agreed with it but melbourne couldnt get ferguson to agree. Which is stupid because he would have been alright at hawthorn. But Sewell would have been a handy get.

excuse my ignorance but who the hell is ryan ferguson

Exactly.

It's the kind of trade that actually deserves to be vetoed in an Ultimate Footy game...

    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.
