Out Bail,Garland injured. Warnock ,Green, Jetta Bennell

In Rivers, Mckenzie,Bate,Macdonald, Cook,Nicholson,Evans(off rookie list)

Posted

It may be nothing, but Jonesy hurt himself in the first quarter and to me he seemed ginger all day. I know he's not the fastest player in our side but he seemed even slower today, so he may be given a week off as well.

Out: Bail, Garland (injured), Dunn (suspended), Jetta, Bennell

In: McKenzie, JMac, Evans, Nicholson, Gawn

As a Gysberts fan, I was really disappointed with the number of his turnovers today.

In: Rivers, McKenzie, JMac, Nicholson / Evans

Out: Bail (inj), Garland (inj), Bennell, Jetta

Stick with Juice and Martin, thought they had a real crack. With the injury to Grimes we should bring one of Nicholson or Evans on to the main list for some midfield cover.

Yeah but who do you drop him for? We're actually running out of midfielders. Jetta and Bennell were poor, Green was not there but won't be dropped, Morton probably will only come back if he annihilates Bendigo, Bail is out for minimum a month (and possibly season depending on whether its ACL or PCL), Scull is still 2-3 weeks away, Trengove is suspended. Jordie may actually come back if he plays well for Casey tomorrow, and Evans and Nicholson are lining themselves up, but apart from them we just dont have anyone we can bring in for him.

will be interesting to see how Casey go tomorrow, but at the moment...

Out: Bail (inj), Garland (inj), Dunn (susp), Bennell

In: Rivers, Nicholson, McKenzie (if he gets through a full game), Macdonald

Posted

Out: Garland (inj.), Bail (inj.), Dunn (suspended, if not then dropped), Jetta

In: The five fittest/best performers from Casey, but there must be a ruckman (so one of Gawn or Campbell).

I wish we didn't have that many injuries. In a fully fit list, Jetta would be straight out the door and Gysberts would be treading carefully as he just isn't damaging.

Chances for the rookies, especially if Bail is out long-term. Is there a limit on how many we can promote in the play of LTIs?

disagree with those dropping Jetta, he stays... Aussie tried today, but Rawlings was wearing him like a glove, especially early...

If Jetta stays it would only be because of the two injuries and Dunn. His skill level is appallingly bad, and I didn't see him working as hard as you did (someone said he laid 12 tackles, which helps his cause, but his chasing at times wasn't good enough and he doesn't offer too much outside of tackling anyway).

Wonna was outplayed by Rawlings but I saw a lot more effort from him.

As a Gysberts fan I'm really disappointed that you'd pick on a player with less than 10 games experience who has sensational hands in close and goes in extremely hard, despite weighing less than a toothpick.

Out: Bail :(, Dunn (susp.), Aussie (fitness is horrible)

In: McKenzie (RUSH him in), TBC depending on Casey performances

I'm hoping Garland gets up. He did play more than a quarter after the injury, so possibly just badly twisted and bruised and will be OK.

I nearly shat myself when he hobbled off pointing to his foot. Given the week we've had I kept thinking that maybe he re-injured the foot. Oh the horror! :(

IMO we'll keep changes to a minimum given we are already struggling with so many injuries. Jetta was good and hard at the contest, and we have to keep giving Maric some more chances when no one else is really pressing for selection. Fingers crossed McKenzie is half fit. I'd bring him in and sub him off if he gets tired. FFS we need to give Moloney some help!

Could be a chance for Blease and Strauss to get a game too. Would prefer to give them each a game or two than someone like Macdonald who we know exactly what to expect from. I hope Rivers is back next week.

Posted

Out: Bail, Garland, Dunn, Wonaeamirri

As for the In's I think they'll come out of Rivers, Macdonald, Blease, Strauss, McDonald, Evans, Morton, Nicholson and Bate.

Possibly 8 of our best 22 out next week. Ouch.

Yeh you're right, I take it back. But we have to do something about our midfield, I just don't know what. Over the next few weeks we're going to need midfielders who can play to a losing ruck, and Gys is one of the better ones at this. Maybe I expected too much from him because he IS usually so good in close.

Posted

Out Jetta? He was hard at it all day, made 12 tackles.

He was pathetic today.

Posted

It's the Saints next week right? So we need to load up on pace. I'd love to see Nicholson get a game, And if Blease were to have a good run tomorrow I'd consider his a chance. Sadly, there will be plenty of room in the team for these players to find spots.

I'm backing both Garland and Bail to be gone for their injuries, plus Dunn suspended. At the very least then we need to bring in another back and a pacy runner. Bate will probably get Dunn's spot in a straight swap. Rivers for Garland seems likely, although Joel Mac could get in depending on matchups. It's the replacement for Bail that is interesting, as well as any other mids they decide to drop. Will Morton force his way back in or will they give the run to one of our untested runners? Will they rush Jordie back into the side to play a stopping role?

I didn't see the whole game so I don't think I can comment on who goes out aside from the obvious three. I'm backing Rivers, Bate and probably Jordie to be the ins for those three.

    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.
