Interesting they left out Grundy, but we kept Gawn

Looking at their team surely Grundy will be a late inclusion

Edited by hogans_heroes

Big move, IMO, keeping Gawn, especially when they've decided not to play Grundy. A lot of marking ability and we're going to stretch their undermanned defence, but will we have enough run?

Gawn is problematic for most backlines

Roosy wants him to fullfill his potential and help prolong Jamars career ?

Posted

We can always make a late change and switch Gawn out if the weather is looking grim. Not the team I would have gone with, but I'll trust Roos and his FD.

Grundy didn't play in the magoo's today.

I reckon he'll play.

Surprised Gawn survived the cut as I reckon he's the worst player in the squad- at the moment.

I don't subscribe to the theory of 'stretching their defence' because as soon as the tall blokes drop marks, the opposition invariably clear it out more often than not.

Having said that I'll leave it to Roos who's selections this year have been very good.

You are very magnanimous!

The good thing is Maxwell wont be there to be the one that comes across and helps out the other defenders. We cant let Harry just run off the backline and use the ball. Have to man him up.

God point re Harry Alias - I wonder who wold be best suited to keep him accountable.

If Gawn and Dawes are inside 50, It means guys like Pedo and Watts can work the wings a bit more, and Salem and JKH can crumb, and play a bit more midfield as well.

We also have the option of sending Frawley back if Cloke looks starting to create havoc.

Jamie Elliot is very dangerous and has the ability to kick a couple very late in the game. I'm more concerned with shutting him down than cloke and think he is a harder match up. Maybe Jetta however for his size Elliot is deadly in the air. Who should go to him?

Garland will get Elliot.

Our fowarline of Dawes, Frawley, Pedersen, Gawn & Watts could really stretch there defence. They only have Frost, Keefe and Goldsack who isn't exactly a key defender. I'd assume Frost will go to Dawes, Keefe to Frawley. Maybe Goldsack to Pedersen ? I'm not too sure who will take Watts and Gawn when his down there... If we can win enough ball out of the middle we can defiantly win this game. Our backline is more than capable of matching up there forwards I'd also like to see Bail play the defensive roll on Langdon or Williams. I'd say:

McDonald to Cloke

Dunn to White

Garland to Elliott

I'd say Jetta would.

Another thing, who will be the sub ? I think it has to be JKH, as much as I don't want it to be. Salem was too good last week to be sub. Matt Jones would leave us a pure midfielder short. I think it has to JKH unfortunately.

I don't think it'll be JKH, we have too many talls in the forward line for no small.

Maybe Terlich?

Good point. Would like to have Salem & JKH both at the feet of the talls. I don't know if Terlich offers much as a sub. Will be interesting to see who they go with.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
