Always wondered who the other supporter there was....

Its pathetic they allow about 100 opposition supporters in.

I was there with a mate in the area that Target have their seats, there was one other Melb supporter in front of us and the rest Geelong.

Was great!

Given what the bench is I'd go with Riley as sub, M. Jones, Spencer & Terlich as emergencies with Spencer the carry over player.

I was initially calling for Michie to be dropped, but instead I reckon give him this game to rotate through midfield & half back. If he has another shocker he'll be VFL bound for the rest of the year.

Another shocker? Seriously he played 21 minutes last week and yes had no bearing on the game. But he was the only person who went spare in defense last week after Howe put us in front, until Cross came on at the last ball up and told him to get out. The blokes on 360 pointed this out and questioned why Cross did that. At least he has a footy brain. He has every right to lack confidence given he gets 1 game on and 1 game off. I hope he says naff it all and goes into the forward line a few times this week instead of being the defender mid field. He' has done it at Casey and it showcased his ability. I personally would play him permanent HBF. Might be slow but has an excellent footy brain.

They can't continue to drop Michie and bring him up every 2nd week and expect to make an impact. Give him 6 games in a row to see what he can offer. Im a fan of his and he has been unfairly treated.

You have hit the nail on the head here dazzledavey. Give the poor bloke a chance to show his true form. Very unfair if he is dropped after one game AGAIN!

Not a bad match up. Watts has the tank to go with him apparently. Make him be defensive on a player who has really improved.

That's the key, he may have a good tank for a big man, but does he have a good enough tank to play his game and run with a bloke of the quality of Bernie Vince?

if left alone Bernie in his current form could cut the cats to ribbons

I'd stick Bernie on Selwood. Bernie would be terrific at sucking him in all game and is smart enough not to give away cheap, silly frees. Nullifying Selwood will go along way to helping us stay in the contest.

Given Spencer probably won't play with Gawn, no Fitzy or Pedo to be 2nd ruck hurts. Bench should probably be Terlich, ANB, Riley and Jones

So no ruck support at all for Gawnius maximums unless Spencil gets in....couldn't have his as sub though.

Hope he is up to it

Pretty scant pickings really....bloody injury list.

I agree, but i think the same principal applies to whoever plays on Blitz, if our team defence is strong then his opponent should run off, i don't think he is capable of staying with them

but i do agree that stopping selwood goes a huge way to stopping Geelong

What about Viney to Selwood aka the ducker.

Not a bad idea either really. Is Bernie a little more disciplined than Viney though? We know Selwood loves to snipe at players, duck his head etc, would he be able to suck Viney in a little easier than Vince?

and Watts is his 3rd man up foil. Watts has to hurt him going fwd and Bliv will hurt us going fwd.

I completely understand the logic of keeping Stretch in the team, even if he needs more development. Better to get games into our youth rather than, frankly, players that won't be on the list in 4 months.

Probably but would be good to c Viney put him on his arse after Selwood sucker punches him.

I think the lack of discipline might be a positive from Viney, if Selwood ducks his head Viney is likely to take it off

We are venturing down to Geelong and meeting some relatives, I just hope the boys put in a decent performance, and keep my fingers crossed that the cats are being complacent after their good win over Port last week. One can only dream!

nah put Viney on him. Vince is a lot taller and is more likely to get Selwood high. Definitely Viney.

I feel like everyone is saying we're going to get smashed, but deep down they all know Geelong are overrated and this game is going to be a lot closer than expected.

Geelong certainly don't have their strongest side in and they are battling a few key injuries... but then so are we. If we turn up to play then it will be closer than some expect. If not it could be a bloodbath.

Geelong are past there best but they still have great disposal & don't miss targets, we will look like schoolboys

Like your optimism M but I highly doubt it.

At our home ground could be a contest but Geelong own that bloody ground. Even in the good old says we had trouble. We need a full strength side in form to make a contest.

    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.
