blease will learn nothing going back and playing in the vfl.

he's exactly the sort of player that we are desperate to develop, and he needs the experience of an elite-level game, not going back.

these decisions just really really frustrate me.

I think they need to give him a good run at it. He went back to Casey and had an OK game and was brought back up. They need some consistency with him but like you I think he would be better having a solid run in the AFL team.

Hehe, nice one Mac. Someone has to be able to say they called it should the miraculous happen.

Personally I am feeling a sense of inevitability about this weekend. Moreso than usual. Not a pleasant feeling.

It's inevitable that we will pull one out of our [censored] and shock the competition at some stage. I reckon this is the game.

Also a good possibility that I'll revisit this post and think what a fool I was.

Yup. We've got this. :wacko:

We'll convince everyone else soon, Tricky.

I hope that they don't end up regretting bringing in Nicholson for Davey (his brother kicked 4.2 for Essendon today)!

Why should he be gifted an AFL game? Part of the bullish*t culture that Neeld is trying to eradicate.

Make him work his butt off, run, sweat, play accountable footy, pick up a man, run in defence and do the disciplined things.

Time for Blease to draw his own line in the sand.

Fmd.

Seen Spencer live 3 times already this season, if you haven't you will see the improvement, he hasn't played well, he has dominated, which he should,love the posters who pot him that haven't. Last week even saw one of his chase downs of a smaller player, nearly broke him in half....asked Jade Rawling about him on the chat...first words "Jake is very competitive", isn't that what some posters are crying out for..support the team

It would be good to see Spencer make a go of it in the firsts. He has a big of mongrel about him that can only help the mids and kids walk a bit taller when he's around.

Another who needs to show something.

I hope he does!

I'd just like to get in early and say that Carlton have thrashed us the last few years. Their speedy brigade of smalls runs all over us and we simply don't have the quick agile defenders to keep up with them. Since we know that this is the case, could we perhaps not have the anguished gnashing of teeth anf lamentations tomorrow evening? Perhaps we could even avoid the calls for an instant sacking of the coach/board/runner/Jack Watts. Just a thought.

I'd like to say that Watts not actually playing will save him from criticism this week, but I can't say that with any confidence.

He needs to earn a game.

Swap Tapscott for Toumpas and that side would be filled with the best runners that we have. If you had Dawes and Clark as tall targets the player types on paper would be the best fit for the style of game we are trying to play. Don't expect a win but if someone can stand up and offer a target we may be a shake if they're off their game.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
