Anyone

But seriously:

Outs: Bennell - Morton

Ins: Bartram - Tapscott

Bennell - What is your deal? You have pace, skill by foot and poise (when you want) but you constantly give us nothing

Morton - Grow a pair, put on some weight, learn to kick or [censored] off

Where are all the people who want Dunn, Bate, Warnock etc traded.

Good games tomorrow for Casey and they will all be in at Darwin.

Our young guys are still too young at this stage to carry the load.

WE badly needed some older strong bodies tonight.

IN: MacDonald, Tapscott

OUT: Bennell, Morton

If we weren't playing in Darwin Jurrah would be added to that list also.

I agree we need Bate and Tappy back .Bate doesn't get pushed over .Bennell , Morton out . Jurrah SUB (MOJO down)... Garland - under the ball all night .Gysberts still too light .

Scott West -WTF happened in every bounce ? Trengrove good forward but wasted .

Out Jurrah and Bennel - Find a heart between you! Nicholson.

In Batram, MAcdonald - We really missed these two .Tapscott if fit or maybe Cook.

Why should we keep Jurrah in just because the game is in Darwin? That's rubbish.

I love how people think Dunn, Bate and/or Warnock are solutions. They aren't. They won't fix anything.

Bennell and Morton have to go. We can't carry passengers like them. They don't work hard enough, they don't impact on the game enough, they are soft as butter and I don't like them (that last point is crucial of course).

MacDonald is an automatic inclusion if fit. His pre-injury form was fine.

Tapscott also comes back. By Darwin he should be fit enough.

Maybe Bartram for Strauss too. Strauss hasn't convinced me yet. Not sure.

In: MacDonald, Tapscott

Out: Bennell, Morton

Can't believe people are wanting Nicholson or Strauss out, or those who want Bartram in.

OUT : Bennell, Morton.

IN : Tapscott, MacDonald.

How far away are Bail and Davey?

MacDonald's knee injury is more serious than first thought. He will struggle to get up for the Port Adelaide game.

Tappy I think would play OK in the greasy Darwin conditions. But players need 'great feel' in the hands to play in slippery conditions.

So for that reason, I think we'd be doing Bater, & ourselves a dis-service if we played him in the Darwin heat. Keep him 'til after Darwin.

So for this reason I'd be hanging onto Jurrah,,, maybe Bennell for his last chance/ or as Sub,,, and maybe Dunny & Maric. I'd go small, and quick. I'd keep Martin & Jamar & think about switching Morton for Dunn..

* I wouldn't mind seeing Cook in with his great hands and 'Vision'. I hope their Not waiting til we play the Swans again, 'so we can see him sail into Sydney' !!! B)

Doc Larkins said Jurrah has an achilles/ankle issue which has been causing his form/lack of run lately. Might need some time off. Thankfully we have the bye!

This explains a lot. If Jurrah has a lower leg problem of ANY sort, it's going to seriously impair his effectiveness.

Just don't understand why we need to play injured players. Surely they've learned something from the Davey debacle!

I'd probably go against the popular trend, and keep Bennell for the Darwin game. His ball handling in slippery conditions is second-to-none, and this, combined with his pace, could be real assets. He must know that a spell at Casey is looming, and if he retains his spot for Darwin, he will surely realise that he is very lucky ..... that might just bring the best out of him. Having said that, his form doesn't warrant retention, and that should probably be the ultimate decider.

They're playing him because he's fit. 2 weeks ago he had a 'Light' piece of taping around his calf muscle. NOT achilles strapping! So you would assume he had an slight tightness, in that 'Calf'.

His lack of competitiveness IS Not due to any injury of a limb.

Maric's contract is up at the end of the year. Why not try him in Bennells position down back or forward with a run through the midfield. He has been the best at Casey a number of times this year including yesterday. It's time to give him a few weeks in a row in the AFL to see whether he is worth keeping. Bennell is contracted next year so send him back to Casey to work on his ticker and see if he can involve himself more in the game.

We need 15-20 possession games out of these guys on a regular basis if they are going to have an influence in the outcome of the game. Bennell is only averaging 10 this year which is less that last year and less than his first year.

The bye couldn't come quick enough, ey??

In a fortnight vs Port:

IN: Tapscott, Bartram, MacDonald (if fit)

OUT: Morton, Bennell (both lucky to be in the seniors), Nicholson (rest?)

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
