Garland in doubt, you'd think. Walked past Jamar on the way today who told me he's playing next week.

I'm thinking with Richmond's forward line, Frawley and Rivers should be able to take care of themselves.

In: Jamar, Gysberts

Out: Gawn, Garland

Does Stef Martin need a rest?? Just a thought.

Would hate to see him burn out, he has worked really hard this year.

Is Gawn ready to work with Jamar?

Hard to change a winning side...

OUT: Gawn (unfortunate), Garland (inj)

I'd frankly like to somehow squeeze all three of Jamar, Martin and Gawn into the one side. Not sure how we'd do it, though. And, if Tapscott's fit, would think he'd come straight back, too.

Seems the selectors will have some tough decisions to make.

Gawn makes way for Jamar. Not exactly fair on Gawn but Jamar picks himself and we can't take all three. Doesn't matter, Gawn is a future star and he's had his state of AFL football.

There is room for Gysberts and Tapscott too. Bartram was woeful with the ball in hand, Strauss too. Neither of them would be certain picks next week, though the FD seems to love Bartram. And of course Garland may be injured. Bennell can go too as far as I'm concerned; didn't work hard enough in his quarter.

maybe ease tappy back in? a week at casey to get some confidence back in the leg? whatever the changes they are all positive for us! except Garland if he doesnt come up.

Tapscott to return via Casey unless Garland is out.

I like Rivers as a covering defender, so I would be tempted to bring in Warnock for Garland to cover Vickery, with Frawley going to Reiwoldt.

Jamar in for Gawn(unfortunately).

If Tapscott is ready, then Bartram has to go because he is a liablity with ball in hand, and in todays footy, you can't carry those sort of players.

Does anyone think Sylvia is in trouble for his late bump in the 3rd qtr. A Freo player had to be helped by the trainer. Admittedly, I didn't get a good look at the replay.

Petterd's been booked for striking Crowley in the 1st quarter. anyone see it?

Clint Bartram out.

Can't hit targets in a game with zero pressure.

The weakest link.

Posted

I would only bring back one player who has missed significant time – so assuming they are both fit that means Tappie gets his touch back as Casey and Jamar comes in with Gawn very unlucky. Gys comes back if fit.

Looking forward to it already.

Bartram stays because...he's Bartram. Someone has to take King, or Nahas.

Finally Someone with some football brains Big Max is a breath of fresh air he was our best big man today by a mile

Max gawn should never be out of this side

Yeah, Gawn was better than Martin by a mile :rolleyes:

OUT: Gawn, Garland (if injured)

Can't play 3 ruckmen it simply wouldn't work. Thought Bennell (although being the sub) was relatively quiet when on and would love to see Tappy get a game up forward where he would provide great forward pressure.

Dunn, Bate, Juice, Spencer - see ya later.

Anyone looks good playing loose in the backline. Rivers has to beat an opponent AND help others .Feel sorry for Clint but you are right about his poor disposal.Dunn too.

Bate should get another year if we can keep him.

Give Bate another year .Spencer seems superfluous now .Dunn ,Bartram are packing their lockers .

Agreed.

Should get a reprimand at most. The footage shows that Sylvia's hand clips the Freo players mouth on the way through as Sylvia is turning to attack the ball. Purely accidental.

To me if anything it should be the opposite.

Dunn and Bartram have shown quite a bit over the last 12 months, Bartram esp has been very very solid.

In the last 18 months Bate has done sweet FA. Get rid of him please

Changes next week

In: Jamar, Gysberts, Tappy

Out: Gawn(don't wont him to), Bartram, Garland(if injured)or Bartram

    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.
