No. Stand by means wait.

Story should be rolling out soon that Caracalla mentioned dusty is out on sen.

I didn't hear the interview but others have said that he didn't sound overly confident but never mentioned he was actually out.

I reckon Richmond will roll the dice and play him.

I'm sort of thinking they'll err towards miles playing seeing as he went ok in the Vfl... but if you're right it begs the question... which would demonlanders prefer? Dusty underdone, or miles? Not a simple one.

What's that?  5 posts to make the same point?  You start off 'worried' and now you are 'honest'...

Spencer is not Gawn.  Nankervis is NOT Sandilands.

Nankervis is an OK ruckman, Spencer at least that, if not more.  Give him a chance.

for a long time lurker and a short time troller, you are off to a solid start

Tough one. Think I would rather Miles. Dusty's strength up forward in the wet could be crucial if he plays mostly there. 

 

I could see him kicking 3-4 whereas Miles won't have the same impact

I tend to agree. I do like Miles as a player though, and he takes away some of our in and under dominance.

Unfortunately true.

The problem isn't the calling, it's the seeing.

No there's a difference between looking at the club critically and just coming on here to stir up BS. 3 new accounts in a couple of days, let's see how long you all stick around for after Mondays game.

Dusty underdone is still dangerous. I think he's turned a corner as a player and might lack explosiveness but he's strong in the air so Hardwick might put him forward. He's a danger regardless.

He is not the greatest but as ruckman go he is no spud either. Nankervis is hardly worthy of a permanent hard tag.  Just needs a solid ruckman to compete against him and neutralise (or win) as many contests as possible and compete with him in the air in marking contests. Although it would be helpful, you don't always need a superstar ruckman to win matches of footy as long as they can break even most of the time in the one on one contests. Anything more (goals, goal assists, tackles, hitting up leads etc) is a big bonus

Imagine the team meeting with Goody telling the players we're going to tag Nankervis. 

Jones and Viney would gently escort him from the premises while some rookies clear out his office.

Will see what happens Monday and I hope jake plays well bit o think it is a huge danger area

Their midfield are still hard ball winners, which I think we trump them in even with Dusty there. Prestia adds some grunt but Caddy is a spud. If we were playing GWS with the same ruck setup I'd be worried, but, as we knew with Spencer, our mids simply need to go up a notch to win around the stoppages.  Best Spencer can do is contest and bring the ball down into a 50/50, which is what he did against Freo for the whole game. Our mids let us down in that situation. A lot of people overlooking the performance by Spencer so as long as he brings that and our mids perform we're okay.

It's one of their improved areas. But tagging a ruckman isn't a thing. Even if it was a thing, Nankervis is hardly Polly Farmer or Max Gawn.

I still don't get it suggesting Pedo as second ruck,he is only 193 cm tall. Those who have once again mooted this idea,please explain?  Apart from Oliver we don't have anyone with the "it" factor.

So a large number of people attacked me for my opinion but big Nank was best on ground and the reason they won 

No mention of Spencer getting hurt? That's two dodgy posts now Jayd.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
