your sarcasm detector is due for a service

No, it's working perfectly.

But he's sarcastically implying that to make that sort of statement you'd need to have seen all of his games at Casey, but it's obvious he hasn't.

I'm saying that the only logic for making such a statement is if you were completely unaware of his form at Casey and were making wild assumptions.

If you had have seen his form at Casey, you still couldn't make that claim, because you'd know better.

Pretty much the same destination, but a slightly different route.

Gysberts & Aussie are in starting 18. Morton Warnock & Strauss make up the 25 (emergencies).

Meaningless minutiae, but Grimes has been named in the centre.

That's sure to make a few people happy, albeit only temporarily.

Hard call to say who will be dropped from the senior side.

I'd like to see Watts dropped for a game or 2, then back in.

I just think the short confidence boost from a few games at Casey would help him at this stage.

I don't see Warnock coming in, and I'd like Morton to gain some touch first.

I know he's not really a mature body, but I'd like to see Strauss included.

nathan2jones Great to have Aussie back & Jordie Gys in!! Both in super form! & worked super hard to get their chance. Stoked for em!!

Shame about the 2 years prior

Morton (4), Grimes (14), Maric(21), Watts(1), Blease(17), Strauss(19)

not looking hugely successful at this point in time

Re you serious?

Re you serious?

Cant say any of them except Grimes and perhaps Morton have shown much yet. Too early to call whether they are good or bad picks yet.

As opposed to Flash? They showed footage of him last night on AFL Teams when Burgoyne kicked a goal in "that" quarter. There was a 50/50 ball for him to win, and instead of putting his body on the line, he put his foot out and tried to clear it, the rest is history.

LIke Burgoyne put his foot out to trap it??

Agree 98% Not sure about Strauss has he done enough?

I see 5-6 games of Casey each year as well as televised games

and so far I thought he has been only average in the games I have seen.

Admittedly I have not seen him this year.

I think Morton, Gysberts and Wonna are all improvements to the team given the form and pedigree of the players going out. Over the Hawks debacle, ready to re-load for the Lions. Carn the Dees

I'm really surprised to see Morton come straight in. I wonder if he'll be used as the sub?

Posted

I'd like to see J Watts as the Sub, given his good half game last week.

Interesting idea, methinks Morton would have to be the most likely given his versatility and limited preparation. Suprised by this choice but morton must have really impressed at training this week.

Really surprised with Petterd and Morton. Thought for sure Morton was going to run at Casey this week- shows how much i know!!!

Petterd is stiff and i wonder if there is perhaps a slight niggle that he would have been ok to carry into a 4 interchange game but the club won't risk it with only 3 interchange?

In any event i am happy with the ins and am looking forward to Sunday.

Good luck to Maric, Jetta, Petterd, Bate, Blease, Strauss and Warnock at Casey. The better all of these blokes play the better it will make us as a whole because of the pressure for spots they will put on.

I reckon garland will be a late withdrawal and Pettered to replace him.

If garland is out then warnock gets the nod.

That wouldn't surprise me at all. Really surprised to see Ricky omitted .... he was a key to us salvaging a draw against the Swans.

Brisbane dont have a very tall forward line, we have Frawley and Rivers and Martin could go back if needed.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a latte change.

I had it in my mind, that Morton 'Should' come back through the VFL,,, But in my Gut, I've had this feeling that he was in.

And Petterd out, that doesn't seem right. We'll see.

He had a finger injury. It's not as though he couldn't run and build fitness.

Yes Maurie but if you or anyone else has played the game you should understand that there is a mammoth difference between running fitness and MATCH fitness. If you have doubts, look at Chippa last week. Morton never played a pre-season game, that's why there is question marks.

Morton for sub.

Posted

It's not so much fitness with Morton anyway.

It's regaining touch and game sense.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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
