In Dawes, Taggert, Magner (if grimes is put on LTI list.

Out Grimes, Trengrove, Mckenzie.

I was very disappointed with the output and error making of Trengove, McDonald and Mckenzie. So 2 mids and a tall and a captain. If Grimes is on long term injury list the Magner for him, Sellar for Mac while he gets some confidence and learns to kick and Davey for Mckenzie and Fitzpatrick for Trengove as we need a tall mobile marking forward (not convinced that Dawes is ready yet)

Posted

IN: Jetta, Fitzy, Dawes, Blease, Toumpas (Be good for him to play against some similar aged players)

OUT: Grimes (inj), Spencer, Trengove, Kent, Nicholson

Swap Magner for Toumpas should Grimes go on the LTI.

IN: Jetta, Dawes, Magner (Pending elevation)

OUT: Grimes, McDonald, Nicholson

Jetta is really tough and was one of our best before suspension.

Dawes . . . well we've all been waiting almost six months for this.

Magner may or may not get a go if Grimes is put on the LTI. Let's hope he can keep up with the Joneses.

Grimes . . . poor Jack Grimes. B+F worthy form and he cops a ten week injury. Bad bad luck.

McDonald...not since the debut of the infamous Tom Gillies have we seen a defender play this poorly. What? That was just a month ago, you say? Well I'll be...

Nicholson...I had Bail originally, but he offers more than Nicholson does. Nicho's only advantage is his endurance, but Bail has that and a little bit more.

yes, i retract my statement.

Bring back Jetta and Dawes!

Posted

In: Jetta, Fitzpatrick, Jamar, Dawes

Out: Grimes, Spencer, Nicholson, ?

I want to see if we can't stretch the Suns' defence with two legitimate talls plus a resting ruck down there. Grimes is obvious with Jetta being an obvious replacement and Jamar isn't listed on the injuries, so if he's fit he comes back in for Spencer. It would be tempting to bring in Magner as well given we can LTI Grimes. Maybe drop Jordie for him if we want to go that way, although he would normally get the role on Ablett.

Woah woah, lets not go crazy.

Tommy Mac can at least defend, and has runs on the board. Please let us never compare him, or anyone who has ever played a good game in red & blue, to that weird bearded man whos existence at our club confuses and enrages me.

McDonald is having a stinker of a season, but he can play, and his kicking is passable, his confidence just seems to be well down.

Sorry but I thought spencer playing far better than jamar. Would not drop him.

I like Spence, but in no way could i say he's playing better than Jamar. Put it in persepective, Jamar averages the 3rd most hitouts in the AFL - today Warnock had 44 hitouts to Jake's 18.

Not like Spencer killed him around the ground, either. Give him another week though, if Jamar is feeling the slightest bit sore.

If Grimes goes LTI then Magner must come in.

Not only was Spencer killed in the ruck, he was bullied around the ground. He's getting to be a big unit, but he couldn't stand up to the Carlton rucks. GC have a couple of huge rucks on their hands who will be more than happy to run through him at every opportunity. Jamar is a better option to stand up to that sort of physical attack.

Out: Nicho, Mckenzie, Grimes Lti,

Trenners if carrying something needs a rest not sure who to bring in Fitzy may be to tall for balance so do you go Blease or Taggert, Just not sure on Rory being ready

Originally typed TMac out for Pedersen at CHB but probably do Tom good to play this week

Posted

Out: spencer (never again), bail (can't kick), McDonald (see bail), Nicholson (see bail), grimes

In: Fitzpatrick, Dawes, Sellar, Jetta, Toumpas

Dawes is our best big forward available. Gawn our best Ruck and Fitzy our best back up man. Lets play them as such!

I like Jetta's toughness and his direct ball usage. Get him in.

It's way overdue to swap McDonald for Sellar. It's short term but worth it.

The last midfield spots are near on impossible. I don't actually want to play Toumpas but who else do we have? Do we stick with Mckenzie or Nicholson or neither?

Upgrade Magner with Grimes to the LTI. Problem solved.

Jetta Frawley Terlich

Dunn McD Garland

Tappy Viney M Jones

Howe Gawn Sylvia

Kent Dawes Byrnes

Spencer McKenzie N.Jones

Int: Strauss Evans Blease Magner JT

In: Jetta, Dawes, Magner (if JG on LTI)

Out: Nicholson, Bail

This is based on Col Garland and Tom McD being available. Both were hobbling by end of game.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.

    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.
