Certainly Martin adds size, skill & ruck attribute to his game.

Or will they blood the youngster in Lucas Cook at full forward.

I think Martin may get the nod ahead but its a good time for Cook to step up.

Thoughts....?

Cook, please.

There's finally some structure and some discipline to this footy team.

Having Stef Martin in the team is like having a big labrador run through your freshly laid concrete.

Cook.

It's time to unwrap the cotton wool. You've got blokes like Cameron who is as skinny as Morton, Watts debuting as a stick insect- injuries can happen to anyone- just ask Clark FFS :(

Unleash the cookie monster. It's time, I'm growing impatient. Been looking forward to his debut ever since we drafted him and I need something to look forward to now after the bad news we just recieved

JR did you see him on saturday?

Cook is still a skinny kid who looks average at Casey.

He would get killed by the Lions back line as well as be pushed out of the road by an average size backman.

He would be as imposing as the sea gulls that wander around during the breaks.

If cook is to make it at AFL level he has to do a lot more yet at Casey.

First step would be to put on 20KG.

IMO it is Martin In, there is no one else at present, all the other possibilities are injured or not fit enough for a full game at AFL level.

So it is your Labrador I am afraid

That is a really poor reason to play him SMF.

Cameron is played by GWS because there is no one else and the kid has talent.

Watts was played too early and we know what happened he should not have played till the following year.

Cook is the same, it is 2013 when he is up to playing with men.

Don't feed him to the Lions because you are impatient.

Good point.

Old dee I don't think it matters if he gets pushed around a bit, this season is shot. If we wait for him to put on another 20kg we will never see him play.

Time to start getting games into him now!

Cook is skinny at 196cm and 86kg, Cameron & Watts only 3kg heavier, but from reports has been doing well at Casey kicking a couple of bags and on different days presenting and marking well.

Sometimes a step up in competition can make people improve quicker also. I couldnt imagine good delivery at VFL level either.

Having said that if its Martin I would also be supportive. :)

We are going to disagree on this one SMF.

I think it matters a lot.

Cook is seriously under size

Playing too early could ruin him.

If the season is shot then why risk him?

Let him play at Casey for 2012.

Oh for Darling right now!!!

Cookie is miles too small and should play out the year at Casey. Martin for mine.

Or give the Fitz a run at perma-FF, he knows how to play it.

Agree on one Striker

Fitzpatrick is under done follow his illness he only played Casey 2nds on the weekend.

I doubt we will see him at AFL level for some time yet.

If we were in the running for anything this year I would say Martin, but we aren't. We aren't going to make finals, it doesn't matter how many more games we win, so get some games into the kids.

Cook doesn't have to be the replacement for Clark, I just want him in the forward line getting a taste. This week I would bring in Cook and Tapscott to replace Clark and Moloney. I would play keep Tappy and Sylvia around the forward line to make Cookie walk taller.

Just threw it in for a little fun.

Tonight we need a little humour.

Amazing how quickly things have changed in just 24 hours.

Old dee- yes Cook is undersized, but playing him too early isn't going to ruin him.

This isn't the 80's :P

Can't say I watched the entire game, but, from all reports it was a 'difficult' day for all.

I understand where you're coming from, but given the choice, Cook has great hands and he's a converter - Stef has always had the yips.

Yeah mate that hasnt been updated since the start of the year. It has Watts at 91kg when he is actually 89kg & I know Lucas is 86kg. :)

I doubt that Neeld will want to play someone that needs a couple of minders, if he can't look after himself he shouldn't be there.

This is starting to look like the "play Juice campaign" we had on here and on Ology, it was only after we did that we found Juice was where he should be, at Casey.

Yeah someone on this forum who knows the ground well said it was a shocking ground for forwards down at Sandy, quite narrow from memory. Cook has been doing well in different roles.

    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
