Just heard on 3aw James is out for 4 weeks. Im guessing with the bye he will miss only 3 games. But geez he is going to be a massive loss next week with Cloke and Lynch up there. Lynch not as much but he would have been great on Cloke.

Bloody hell. Is there any chance our good players can stay on the park.

Most last year probably would have said Frawley, Clark, Grimes and T-Mac were in our top 5 players with Jones. There's alot of truth in its not the number of injuries but who they're to. Would nice at least at some stage in the second half of the year to get our best 18 on the park together.

Bloody hell..........it is all Neeld's fault of course, surely. Or Jack Watts.

It would be interesting to hear the views of posters on how they suggest we try to deal with Cloke next week. What can we do?

It would be especially good to see the suggestions from anti-Neeld posters who will probably blame Neeld for forgetting to clone Frawley when Cloke kicks 10 goals.

So options?

McDonald - underdone and out of form

Sellar - can match Cloke one-on-one but will killed if he goes for a run

Davis - we haven't seen him yet but you'd think Cloke will be to strong

I love Davis' effort from the couple Casey games I have seen but this match up will be some-what reminiscent of Zac Dawson playing on Ant Rocca... we all remember how that ended up.

Cloke is a beast and can chop up the best when he gets his mojo up. He man handles Chip at times.

I don't mind Sellar as he is a tryer but that's really it. Still he is our only option and I squirm while writing that

I suppose that's the reward for doing a steller job on buddy. Sucks that he'll be missing for games that we'd classify as in the winnable zone. Not to mention Cloke next week.

DemonOX that is one of the more disturbing avatars, it's freaks me out a little.

Gorgoroth, I have never been a good looking rooster so no point in hiding it!

It is what it is!

Options for mine are:

Garland: Our most in form defender. but has shown when matched up against Kennedy in Round 3 that he struggles against the giant forwards.

Sellar: Will get burned when Cloke gets on his bike

Pedersen: Probably gets first crack. Has the height, build and agility to do it. Skill level is the question?

Davis: Would be setting the poor kid up to fail.

Tom McDonald: You'd think would require a week at Casey.

Joel MacDonald:Towled Cloke up in Round 2, 2010 and certainly has the agility and physical agression to go with Cloke. Due to the size difference though you'd need to heavily rely on the like of Garland & Dunn to peel off their men and help Joel out. I reckon he would be worth a look.

If rumours are to be believed, we may have to learn to play without him there.

This is an opportunity for someone to put their hsnd up and demonstrate that they're the man for the job.

Oh well - one can dream

They should use this month of free time to convince him to sign a contract extension and stop him leaving under free agency next year.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
