Would the club (Misson) appreciate you confirming that certain players won't be playing?

While I appreciate it is selection day, there's nothing to say Pedo wouldn't be named with no intention of him playing, just to "attempt" to throw the opposition off a bit.

I realise it's Hawthorn and they wouldn't GAF who we named and who actually played, but don't think it's your best work Saty.

Also, I wonder if those training in the Casey team are going to be dropped, or more to give them a better match up (ie Riley might've tagged Jones, which would be better than tagging Nicholson). Make sense?

Nah, I asked Misso a couple of straight question Me: "where's Pedo?" DM "he is having an operation on his nose today" Me "so he won't be playing on Saturday"" DM "nope"

Nah, Riley, Blease, McKenzie, weren't in the 'team talk' at the end of the end to end session

He did everything, if that is what you mean, the whole session, so kicking, tackling, ground ball, end to end, he was moving really well, even had Salem firing kicks at head height from about 5 metres away at one point to get his reflexes up, ended up the session by competing with TomMcDonald on catching ridiculous bombs put as high as possible but only standing about 10 metres apart, Tommy Mc misjudged one in the rain, hence the decapitation mentioned above. Roos watched this 'training' and was very amused, probably more by Hogan looking ready to go

That is awesome, sounds like a competitive beast!!

Thanks Saty, I forgot you had secret codes with Misso, Roosy and co about what can be published on Demonland and what couldn't be.

I think the days of Dave Dunbar hanging in a tree pretending to be a Koala are long gone, each club has contingency plans for the unexpected, Hawthorn probably know who we are going to put on the park before we on here do, Misso knows I post on here, so obviously he doesn't have an issue, you seem to be the only one that does

Thanks Saty. I wish we had some gee whiz filter that selectively ignored. Annoying to have to click view any way on your training reports.By the by i happened to have the chance of speaking to Nev after the demons game and complimented him on his game. As you have said he is very focused on playing his role and doing his job - he knew exactly how many kicks his opponent, Green, had.

I asked about the hit he got from Merret and said i was amazed he didn't get 50 as he clunked the mark. He was also amazed but didn't know that it had been paid a free kick (shocking decision btw that cost us a shot on goal). Said that he was pretty sore - how was he at training?

Disgusting MRP!!

Nev was fine at training, he is straight down the middle, there is no grey with him, I have mentioned previously that if he gets whacked wears it as a badge of honour as it means he is doing his job, just happy he is fit and firing and playing the role he loves, enjoyed the training, he reckons when it's wet brings everybody back to his level of speed, reckon first three names on teamsheet in the last couple of weeks have been Jetta, Dunn, Bail not the most skilled trio but consistent and who play exactly the role Roos wants

Contrary to that Saty I think Dunn and Jetta are among the best in the team.

Both can hit targets by hand and foot over most distances.

This does not surprise me at all. It is why calls for Bail to be dropped or god forbid traded are ridiculous. Runs hard both ways, presents, always puts in and above all plays his role/does his job. I

Tyson noted in his interview that Roos had reemphasised the need to play the assigned role in the review of this weeks appalling game so one can only assume he is pretty annoyed players have not been doing so.

By the by i wondered why Roos didn't put Nev onto Bewick - he killed us. I don't think he had his best coaching game.

Actually when you speak to both of them, you will find they do that because in their opinion 'they play safe" ie they don't try things that are above their ability, I don't know whether Bail ran over your cat OD, but he is not as bad as you think, his % efficiency is quite consistent, and quite good (put that in another post)

Is it just a coincidence that our form has been down at the same time as Satyr's training reports appeared to have dried up?

I actually thought our form has been crap since Jordie Mckenzie has been back in the team.

Fortunately for the cat no Saty.

I don't think you will be surprised to know I think he is average on his good days.

Coz Green was a small forward who was in really good form, that's why Roos would love another 1 or 2 of Nev, that is why I thanked Jade Rawlings for persuading the club to keep Nev on, coz he knew as well if he could get a clear run at it, Roos would have one of his perfect role players, as I said this week should be a highlight, Puopolo v Jetta

On the other hand, maybe Misson is using Saty to bluff Hawthorn.... :rolleyes:

Sounds a bit like Crows fans and Tom Lynch...

But I agree, Merrett should have gotten a week.

Why can't we put in a medical report like everyone seems to do against us!

I feel like it's February again. Funny how these reports can snap me out of my footy season blues. I reckon I'm the true blue sky junkie. Thanks Saty.

Most of us are. Out of necessity.

    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.

    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.
