I'm not worried whatsoever who comes in or out, We've proven we've got the depth to cover huge losses, personnel wise. I'd be more worried about getting ahead of ourselves. All this talk about finals is just rubbish, we've done nothing yet. We need to bring the right attitude to every game and West Coast is no different. No need to worry about anything else other than who's available for Sat night whoever plays must play their role knowing if they don't they'll get dropped cos there's another 5-6 blokes desperate for a game.

Watts and Jones won't play it would be stupid to risk them but Goodwin would wanna make sure no complacency in the group cos sure as hell if you're 2% off in this league you lose. One week at a time!

Pedo plays all season if he's fit cos he brings the right attitude.

Shuffling deck chairs on The Titanic

No, we have good depth now.

Shuffling deckchairs is a  thing of the past for the MFC thank christ.

Bring back Mat Jones and Mckenzie.

I'd bring in Wagner for Jones with Wagner to half back and Salem to play more midfield minutes.

And someone else out for Gawn, hopefully not Watts.

They would look like millionaires with the current frenetic pressure. Cale Mortan and Jordan Gysberts on the other hand...

Without Jones I'd give Petracca and Salem more time in midfield, both have shown they can add a lot to the onball group when given the opportunity.

Possibly a sign of things to come re Chunk. He's getting older. He'll get niggles, miss a few here and there.

Out: watts jones

in: gawn stretch 

Goodwin said he wanted to reward all the players in a win last week can't see him dropping someone this week 

If they are the only two forced outs I totally agree.

We need 22 fit players. I would rest all players with niggles.

Out: Jones, Watts, Hibberd and Bugg. 

In: Gawn, Stretch, Wagner and JKH/Maynard.

Gawn to be managed 1st game back in the ruck/forward role. Wagner a direct swap for Hibberd.

Hopefully everyone else is good to go, concerns over Jetta?

I feel like this game could be real danger game I'm loving our depth but without our two best key forwards our best mid and our best ruck. We are going to need another team effort with players like bugg , harms and Neil-bullen all contributing.

Why on earth drop Bugg ?

Someone mentioned that he was sore. Otherwise he is a best 22 for mine

JKH is a lock given how he's played over the past few weeks at Casey. He will replace Nathan Jones (rested/groin whatever)

Max Gawn's selection has already been announced. Dees will play it safe with Jack Watts (rested/hammy whatever)

Billy Stretch and Josh Wagner are chances as well for two others to be rested or whatever.

Channel 7 saying Jones will miss at least 2 weeks with a quad and showed Hibberd badly limping at recovery today. 

Watts sore.

West Coast Bigfooty page saying Kennedy again did not train today. Still hasn't done training since the injury. I'd be surprised if he played

He trained in a private session and was worked hard. They'll see how he pulls up

We aren't looking at needing a small forward as far as i can tell. JKH whilst playing well in the magoos is no fill in mid at the top level, he just isnt. Stretch is. Hes no Jones but can equit himself ok as a mid.

Posted

Possibly no Hogan, Jones, Watts, Hibberd + Gawnys first game back after a very long layoff.

A lot of sore boys and a long trip to WA.  A win this week would top even yesterdays win.  Time to dig deep again.

Jones and Watts will both play is my prediction. Jones looked like a corky in the collision with Lin Jong and Watts had a little hammy tightness - said he was fine.

Gawn to replace ANB and Stretch to replace Harmes who looked shot. And certainly Stretch if Hunt doesn't come up.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
