That's way too much vocabulary for my tiny brain.

Hurts trying to figure that one out into laymen's terms.

 

I'll chime in.....

Dean Terlich......

 

 

I'll let my self out

I know that you're being facetious, but I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing how Terlich goes. By most accounts he's had a great preseason, and based on this positive report, he's in fantastic shape having shed 8kg and recorded a personal best in the 3km time-trial. While I know it's highly unlikely that he'll come into the team and become one of our best players, I'll be watching with interest to see whether his strong pre-season translates into on-field improvement in 2016. It sounds like his hard work has at least put him in strong contention for selection in the NAB matches.

All, but I chose Petracca.

I almost feel guilty for not selecting Jesse, such is my manlove, but I already know what he'll do.

Can't wait to see Trenners, but I also know his talent (when fit) and I expect him to make a full recovery.

Can't wait to see Oliver and reckon he'll show as much as Brayshaw (if not more).

But Petracca is a special talent that we've been denied and at 20 years of age, even though it's his first year of playing, he can really make the competition stand up and take notice.

he's already been injured twice before playing a game. Let's hope he hasn't been damaged or that he isn't one of 'those' players who can't get on the park eg Trengove

I voted Petracca

But I also would like to see Viney, Harmes Kent and Salem take that next step.

Just rewatched the Round 23 game against GWS and to put it simply, Christian Salem is a class above. This guy will be a serious player for us and I can't wait to see him take the next step this year. Reminds a bit of Adem Yze (a seriously unmentioned player on this forum) with his kicking skills and ability to play all over the ground. 

If he plays 20 odd games this year, he'll give the Bluey a serious shake.

What I'm excited to see is who actually leads and puts us back in the game when things start to go pear shaped. Until we develop this type of player improvement will be slow.

Deen Terlick

You may laugh but l get a hunch that he will surprise a few people this coming Saturday. It was no accident that he finished third in our "best and fairest" only a few year's ago. It was only his skill levels that let him down, not his G&D!

No, it wasn't an accident it was a statement of how poor we were that year.

I don't like the Yze comparison and I've knocked it before. I loved 'Ooz' in the early years, but I grew weary of his softness and picking and choosing which contests to hit. Salem is deceptively tough though. His only major weaknesses so far are his ability to get a lot of it and his inability to stay on the park.

If he manages to get 30 touches, we'll win just about every time. His skills and decision-making are A grade.

Yze played injured a lot in the 2nd half of his career, I think you'll find that was a contributing factor with his latter day picking & choosing.

Not a senior player yet but i chose Sam Weideman. The kid intrigues me. Was rated a genuine top 3 prospect if injury didn't affect him and Brad Johnson and Brent Sanderson have both said last year that if he gets his body right he could seriously be the pick of the draft.

You only have watch his highlights against the Northern Blues to see the serious potential this kid has. Strong contested mark who is courageous in the air and has neat skills on both sides of his body. At 196cm i hope he grows  a few centimeters because him up and firing along with Hogan could become a dangerous combo.

Casey have lacked a genuine key forward since Hogan so there's definitely a spot up forward for him and Max King to make it their own.

I was under the impression that the club is not expecting much of him straight off the bat?

And im not expecting him to see him at senior level all that much.

His development at Casey is what I look forward too.

    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
