Roosy said in the presser there will definitely be changes going to Alice Springs on a 6 day break.

Jetta in for sure, the other changes will be interesting.

He said there would be 3-4 changes - Jetta and Tyson would be two, plus Roos said Trengove, Grimes, VDB and Dawes were all pushing for selection as well.

Very interesting to see what we do at the selection table this week.

I think we need two ruckmen.

Spencer in.

Max will definitely been in for a light week, given the 6 day turn around. Port's rucks aren't a big strength for them, so i'd have Pedersen providing the ruck relief over Spencer, as Pedo provides a lot more around the ground and is way more versatile than Spencer.

Jetta and Tyson come straight back. Michie's now had three games and hasn't really taken his chance in any of them, so I suspect he'll be out for Jetta. If Oliver doesn't come up from his corked thigh that might be the spot in the middle for Tyson.

I'd be bringing Pedersen straight back as the second ruck/forward option too if he's ready. I don't want to drop ANB or Newton after one game each but they may be in the frame. I'd be looking at Harmes too, despite the four goals.

jetta and tyson are the obvious ins.

 

lumumba, dawes, dunn, and spencer would be other chances you'd expect.

Dunn for mine along with Lumumba. Spencer would be interesting. Perhaps Spencer as well as we need another ruck. Tough but maybe 5 changes with the short break.

I think Max is buggered - his opponents are prepared to lose the tap to keep jumping into him relentlessly.

Spencer is strong and can absorb some of that pressure.

Port don't have a ruck and Gawn looks stuffed including his bandaged right hand of the last 2 weeks. Oliver also had a massive corkie and hardly played through the middle in the second half. I would give them both a rest. 

In: Jetta, Tyson, Frost, Spencer

Out: Michie, Oliver, O-Mac, Gawn

Wouldnt drop max. Just give him some decent help for a game. No offence to Watts.

Yep Spencer or Pedo.

Yeah Max looks spent...won't at all be surprised if Spence is bought in to take maybe 30% ruck time if he is match fit enough !

It doesn't matter - moving forward, the two ruckmen structure will become important as the second half of the season unfolds.

Posted (edited)

In;. Jetta, Tyson, Dawes, Salem, Trenners (maybe)

out: Wagner (rest), 3 -4 unlucky players

just not sure they will make 5 changes

Given Maxxy has been shouldering a lot of work for the team I wouldn't be against bringing Spencer in to given him a decent chop out. Also with rucks being somewhere Port are week in it could given Spencil some chance at gaining confidence. Rotate them between ruck, forward and bench. 

I can't comment on who goes out but thinking about who's available (Tyson, Salem, Jetta, Pederson) and there's more putting up their hand at Casey (Trengove, Dawes, Grimes), it looks like more (good) selection headaches for the match committee. 

Posted

Ins, either Pedersen or Dawes, probably Tyson, definitely Jetta. Could be Trengove's turn, but who do you drop?

Outs, probably Oliver (corkie with short turnaround and he's still in his first year), then ... ???

Port lost the hitouts this weekend by 71-15 yet only lost the clearances 45-36 and got within 8 points.

If Spencer was more mobile or multi-faceted then maybe but it would pretty much just be robbing us of another running player. Dawes or Pedo could potentially come in to provide a chop out as long as they don't make things too crowded inside 50 and provide some movement.

Jetta and Tyson clear ins. Michie and Hunt make way. Frost in for O Mac.

Salem another week in the seconds to build form and confidence. If not then someone will be unlucky to make way. Newton perhaps.

Why Hunt? Provides important dash off half-back.

IN 

Jetta

Dunn

Tyson

Dawes

OUT 

O Mac

ANB

OLIVER ( ONLY IF INJURED ) OR KENT, POSSIBLY MICHIE ( STIFF) 

Posted

Can't see ANB going out. Think Oliver may be rested due to travel, corky  and 6 day turnaround. Jetta and Tyson are musts. Dawes is a possibility as Gawn is tiring and Watts isn't sustainable as a back up ruckman. Hunt is due for a rest.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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

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.
