I personally would like to see petraca playing against Essendon. He is fit enough and has they skills to come straight in, trying him against one of the lesser teams will mean a lesser opponent to start with rather than front up like watts did against a top side with a quality opponent. The only issue is obviously going to be who to drop from the current team. I guess we will get an answer to that tomorrow at the end of our GWS game.

I'd love to see him (truck ) and fellow Dees tear them a new one !!

sorry?

Trac seriously wants to play, you could tell that today, he is getting slightly [censored] off with supporters asking him when he will be in the side all the time, which adds to the frustration he feels,  but he  can't react, he knows I am asking him deliberately so gives me a ridiculous answer each time I ask

Petracca and Oliver will be stealing Brownlow votes from each other.

That's my only concern.

I can't wait for the moment Petracca, Hogan, Brayshaw, Weideman & Oliver run on to the G together full of confidence knowing they can win any game they play. Let it happen. Small steps first but there's a future right there.

A lovely thought if they are both scoring lots of votes.

I think you have larger concerns than that Biff!!

Yes but being seen with you in public should not be a problem anymore.

I will be wearing a groovy new beard,sunglasses and hat to avoid cringing throughout the day.

Just out of curiosity, is there anything in the rules or technicalities that would make him eligible to play this weekend coming from outside the squad? 

He could but we would be fined.

Roos can pay the fine!

Wait, Petracca  played?

Last week Misson said he was 4 weeks away.  [censored] me dead, they could have had another 200 people in the crowd if not for misinformation like that.

Anyway great to hear , JT, Weed and TRACCA all exciting.  Would love a Petracca debut vs Essendrug, might be too early though.

 

not how I read his comment.

No he said he'd need 4 weeks of training, which he's now had and said he'd be close to this week. I didn't know if I'd see him today but they gave him the all clear. And it's nice to keep him under wraps and let Trenners have a moment in the sun. 

I expect he'll need a minimum of 2 weeks at Casey, making round 4 the earliest possible. We just have to keep being patient. 

Based on today I expect highs and lows to his form anyway. He might need to be dropped, rested or switched roles for his development. But there will be highs.

I don't know DS,, if that's what he was saying...

I took it to mean he would be 4 weeks away from being ready to play any AFL games.  

For anyone who has been listening to club comments.  They were saying last week that both Trenners & CP5  would be playing for Casey by next week in practice matches.  So how anyone hearing those reports can think its 4 weeks of training only,  I'm not sure.

"C . Petracca...3 Votes."

Get familiar with that.

It doesn't bother you that late in the season Weidman might come one and split the share of forward-50 entries, accidentally denying Hogan the ton?

I have put some pictures on my Twitter account, Demonpk, including Mr Petracca in action, in case any of you need something to look at before you go bobos...make sure to keep a grip on yourself though

If Jab is allowed to keep his it will unfortunately become a tainted award - the Downlow Medal.

just realized newton was playing today? How did he go?

No dazzle. Newton took part in a number of drills but I don't think he took part in the match simulations or the practice match part of the session.

BOG 11 times each that's 33 votes. 

I'm sure they'll be happy to be joint 2nd behind Viney on 44.

How did JKH go? His on thin ice this year and needs to perform to get a new contract imo 

He's still contracted until 2017. He's played 22 games and kicked 13 goals, which in my book is doing quite well for a young, undersized player picked at #40 in the draft after two years in the system.

And many of those appearances were half games due to being sub.

No doubt he looked like he had it in his first year. But he has not only stagnated, he has actually gone backwards. Big year for him.

    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.
