Garland unlikely to play against Kangas

Rohan Bail (knee) 2-3 weeks

Mitch Clark (foot) season

Tom Couch (hamstring) 2 weeks

Michael Evans (foot) 3 weeks

Colin Garland (ankle) test

Mark Jamar (foot) 3 weeks

Joel Macdonald (groin) test

David Rodan (hamstring) 1-2 weeks

Nathan Stark (ankle) test

...oh well, maybe Davis does get his call-upence...

Fare dinkum is Jamar ever not injured.

Hardly missed IMO does not worry me.

I think Spencer and Gawn do a better job.

Trade if there is a taker.

Would like to see have seen Evans play a few more games this season (I really don't know where I stand with him).

He came out and had a couple really good games and then dropped a bit (maybe he needed a rest or the opposition begun to watch him)

Where do others see him? (a definite part of our future or is it to early to tell?)

I personally think he is going to be a very VERY good player, he needs time and is effectively a first year player given his injuries but i think in 2-3 years he will be the next cameron Bruce

To be honest Bruce is a distant memory for me. All I can remember was that he liked having space on the wing and liked to run slowly waiting for an opposition to come to him and then he would handball over the oppositions head to a team mate. (Or am I just making that up? ... seems like a life time ago)

I just think he will be a goal kicking wingman type, obviously abit quicker than Bruce but i am hoping he will be the same sort of consistant player, at one point Bruce was talked about as a possibility for the brownlow as was Johnstone, who toumpas reminds me quite abit of

I hope you're referring to his foot skills rather than his work ethic and attitude.

Just re looked at the injury list again with the exception of Clark and perhaps Evans the rest at not close to our best 22.

That means the current side over the last couple of weeks is as good as we can put on the park.

I don't believe we can blame the injury list for our woes.

We are just plain crappy.

RE not missing best 22 players, we are missing fringe players who would rotate in and our based on form.

Not a major problem but does impact selection.

Seems to me we are missing about 15 good players half of this best 22 are fringe players

Guys like Evans and Jamar should be wraped in cotton wool for the remainder of the season. No point risking them at all just get them ready for a big preseason.

Not too sure why we should be worried about Jamar he has been playing like our third string ruck man now for two years.

Not really worried about him just no point playing him with 6 games to go.

If only Pickles Evans could get a decent preseason under his belt and have an injury-free season. The club have perseverd with him over ( I think) 3 injury-riddles seasons now so they must see something in him in a similar way to Max Gawn.

Note to all Demonland revisionists: Cameron Bruce might have been an outside player whose helicopter drop-punts and hospital hand -passes made us all cringe at times, but it is totally unfair to question his work ethic or talent. At his peak he was a very, very good footballer. Don't let's re-write our own history because we are all feeling so poorly about 2013.

You have my vote Maldonboy

he also had an ability that a few of the current crop could emulate

He could get the bloody ball even if he was an outside player.

    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.

    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.

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