Yeah. Another selection tick from the committee. Rewarding players who perform. They'd better give ANB his go though.

I'm wondering if someone can answer this as I haven't been au fait with the rookie rules for some years. We already upgraded Wagner, doesn't that mean someone has to be added to long term injury list for Michie to get a spot? Is King that?

Get to upgrade one at start of season and we also get to upgrade one to replace Melksham I believe

 

ed. Good luck to Viv

Very well deserved. ANB and Viv have been consistently good at Casey and both deserve a shot.

Oliver surely comes back in as well.

That's a fantastic effort - hopefully Jetta mrk 2.

Agree wholeheartedly!  Very happy for Viv, and really hope he takes this second chance (third chance if you count Freo as his first...) with both hands and, like Nev, pay back the Footy Dept's faith in him by becoming an important part of the team.

The way I read it Dappa is that we had one spot to upgrade, which was Wagner, then we've got two guys out for the year in King and Melksham, who can also be replaced?
Very confusing when they frequently change rules on the fly.

So this would suggest he's getting a game this weekend? Maybe emergency?

I hope ANB gets a game, he has been consistently in the best and keeps getting passed by others...

He'd have every right to be disappointed if he missed out again.

We lack speed and outside run. Not too sure how Viv will help our one paced attack???

May come in for Pedersen?

By delivering pin-point bullet passes to his team-mates, maybe...?

I kind of understand the "btdt" attitude of those above, but he's been consistently in the Casey best all year, and apparently killed it this week playing on a HBF. Read the Plapp report, it was as glowing they come. And it just so happens, we have a HBF vacancy this weekend.

The guy has well and truly earned another shot. How about getting on board and showing some support?

He'll play half back this week then. Good luck to him and I hope he plays well for us. We need some tight defenders who know when to run off and attack. Maybe he can become a key for us?

Michie has been in and out of the seniors many times in the past,he probably is a good reserves player.Surely we need a defender,perhaps White would be the go.

But the dream team?

Balrick takes Darlings tunic?

Oh.  Been there, done that.

Grats Viv.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
