At half-time I would have dropped Kent…..and Salem….and Jamar…….and probably Roos too.

Watch the game next time maybe.

I'd like to see more speed moving forward and if Roos could work his magic one more time I'd like to see Blease get a go. If not next week, in the next couple.

Just don't think Riley has the fitness for AFL yet and we've seen Salem struggle to run out games and lose impact. North are hard working and fit.

So whilst swapping them might be an option I'd rather keep Salem as a gun impact player and drop Riley for whomever is next in line which I hope means JKH again.

Or if we don't want to go youthful I'd really be a fan of trying Terlich as a defensive forward. He has match fitness, speed and courage. Would be much better suited to the job than Riley and if he fails he's decent enough down back we can move him there and throw Howe or someone else forward.

Salem has an X factor that is needed in the senior side ... the ideal way to rest the bloke is to make him the sub when applicable. He's too good a talent to be playing 2nds footy. As a sub right now, he becomes quite a weapon.

Unless there's an injury, I wouldn't expect any changes. If there is an injury, maybe JKH or Toumpas could come in. Either could start the game and be subbed off for Salem - or vice-versa.

I'd still settle for a heart-attack, if it means we win.

This will definitely not happen.

The only possible change that I can see (barring injuries) is JKH in for Riley.

With no real preseason I still don't think that Riley is match hardened. I would not sub him - he needs more time playing time not less - so either play him ( not sub) or drop him.

Out Riley , Bail, in Michie, Blease.

I'm a little gun shy regarding definitive statements after declaring their was no chance of terlich getting dropped so I'll just say I don't think either Salem or bail will be dropped. Salem for obvious reasons and bail because he works so damn hard and xall me crazy but i reckon roos thinks two way gut running is kind of important (which is one reason I rate mat Jones)

We won and noone set the world on fire at Casey

No change, make them knock the door down

I agree with some others on Riley's fitness. I also think Salem is much more of a weapon as a sub at the moment as he has struggled to impact games for extended periods thus far but always does a couple of crucial things when he comes on late in the game.

I would keep JKH at Casey for one more week, swap Riley and Michie and leave Salem as sub.

We need some class moving forward, someone who isn't afraid to back their foot skills and hit a target. I'm inclined to say bring Toumpas in. He is often described as being one of Casey's best without racking up the possessions which tells me he is damaging with his disposal.

I like Bail this year, he has heart. But i'd consider:

OUT: Bail, Riley

IN: Toumpas, JKH

Blease is close, but he's coming from a long way back for me so where everybody else has to earn it, I want to see Sammy earn it most of the year. No more inconsistency.

    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.
