Theres a very good chance it will be wet again on Monday ( QB )  I wouldnt go too tall.  As others suggest not much movement likely on teh back.... I think  BK put his hand up today.. Kent will probably stay because he CAN find the sticks  as can BK... They might have a day out.  Jeffy gets a reprieve....and a good talking to...as would Kent

 

Thats all I can see to be honest

Probably the kick start Ben Ken needed.

Yes, but he's been doing that at VFL level for a season or two. It's translating it to senior footy that's the issue.

30 disposals and 3 goals.

To be fair, he's been far more consistent than Kent and Harmes. Anyway, hope he's back to his early season form next week. Definite inclusion by the sounds of it.

Not to mention the motive for Kennedy to show up the Pies again :)

Justin Plapp just described his game as "massive" in an interview on Casey radio.

In Garland / Kennedy.  Out Harmes / Omac.   Kent and Garlett on last chances.  Not sure we have the right match-ups for Cox and Cloke with Dunn injured.

I don't think Garland will be coming back this soon. 

Frost to Cloke and T Mac on Lanky.

Cloke may get dropped though, he was very very average.

Garland's injured.

Frost might be the perfect match up for Cox, actually. Two athletes, neither of whom are particularly talented at football.

I didn't particularly rate Dawes' game yesterday but they're not going to drop Dawes after one game.

Have we dropped anyone this season after one game? I'm not sure. We gave Michie, ANB and Newton at least two games each.

It's not going to stop people from making the suggestion that they will, though.  This thread should be renamed the 'Changes I want to happen vs. Pies' as opposed to what it is now as you don't often get changes that make a whole lot of sense.

As you are clearly a smarmy, self serving and decadent fellow ( all useful traits to be sure) it seems obvious.

I've heard all that before and I've been trying to work on it.

I think you'll find Garland will be right this week - club (Misson) said as much in the injury update.  The cheekbone was not as bad as first feared

Specifically:

“He’s got a little crack there, but nothing too serious, so he’ll miss this week, even though he’ll probably end up training tomorrow. He won’t play this week, but he’s almost a certainty next week.

still prefer to keep Frost ( for Garlo )

Ins. Mitch White, Kennedy

Outs. O.mcd Harmes

Put Salem on the long term injury list (next 5-6) weeks and upgrade White.

White showed again today that his disposal even in poor conditions is very good.

Isn't the LTI list a minimum of 12 weeks? Would mean you've put Salem out for the year to bring in White, not sure that's a good move.

8 weeks minimum, still too long I think.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
