I'd be tempted to throw Oliver into the half-back line.  He is competitive, aggressive, strong, good overhead, quick, makes good decisions and has good disposal.  
He is too good for the VFL and seemingly can't force his way into the midfield.  He'd do a better job than Wagner and Harmes in that role.

Not a good enough kick at this stage I would say, and that's the biggest thing missing from our backline currently.

Better or worse than Harmes and/or Wagner?  I know who I'd prefer.

Same, possibly worse. But Wagner is a better defender.

Oliver's strength is clearance work, you've gotta play him in the middle if he plays. His disposal by foot is not good enough to be anywhere else and you miss out on his great inside work if not there.

I would love to see Weideman get a guernsey this week after his goals for Casey.

Having said that we must bring Oliver back in and have him play out the year surely.

Would not have said that a week ago after his game against Sandy. 1 kick, 2 handballs (effective) 1 mark. In fact his past 5 games before Coburg were ordinary producing 3 goals. Over rated because of 1 game against a pathetic opposition. Don't get me wrong he is going to be good but chucking him in against Hawthorn is sheer stupidity.

Terlich could replace Garlett ( he looks a little lazy at times) , Dawes could be replaced by Pedo possibly Spencer to get a run. Salem could replace M.Jones. If Hoges is rested Huellett may come in. Oliver also a possibility but may be overlooked. Anyway Dees upset of round.

Bringing in the weed vs Hawthorn is like bringing in Watts vs collingwood... we wouldn't do that.

He called Josh Wagner 30 minutes before the draft and Weideman to debut on a Monday! He must be Paul Roos.

A genuine insider it seems. Handy :)

I think Oliver's disposal by foot is fine, good in fact.  Just doesn't get to use it enough because he can't/doesn't know when to get in to space.

Have to agree to disagree. I've seen him turn it over a bit by foot, give off a huge handball when he could easily kick it to be marked, and even "Gawn" a few (giving it off to someone right next to you rather than kick it). I don't think his kicking is woeful by any stretch, but putting him across half back would not be a great idea alongside the "laser boots" of Harmes, Hunt, Wagner, Frost and the McDonalds.

I liked this line in the AFL news article this arvo:

Saturday's clash against the Hawks is shaping as a showcase of the Demons' young talent, with Oliver returning after four weeks in the VFL, winning 37 possessions in his last hit-out with the Casey Scorpions. "It's the first time we'll see Oliver, (Christian) Petracca, (Angus) Brayshaw and Weideman in the same team," Roos said. 

Nice!

Apart from Weed and Clarry coming in for Wagner and M Jones the only other possible change I see could be Kennedy in for Harmes or Dawes

Let's hope it works out better this time. 

I think this is the wrong move. Hawks defense is good and if Hogan doesn't play he will get Frawley.

    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.
