Did the Weed train with the main group? I think maybe he will play and TMac will go to Buddy

Weid very much trained with the main group. IMHO I think the MFC think weid will be as important as Hogan in our future, something I agree with.

interestingly, I was (unusually for me) listening to SEN and they were discussing the Dees on talk back, and the usual Woods moron called in. Their theme was that "Collingwood should have done what MFC did and cheat ie fix the draft by under performing."

Is there no end for their excuses?

With a 9 day break coming up makes sense to give the suspect hamstrings a bit of time.

Isn't that what they're doing? Copycats.

I thought they did. Isn't that how they scored Pendles?

I thought of another comeback to the moron and then thought "why bother"

They did and got Thomas and Pendles.

Pity, was hoping for Hoges to get up as well as Watts.

As admirable and as amazing the last couple of wins have been, I think we'll get done against the Swans. They're starting to hit form and have a super strong side on the park. I think the fact we now have so many of our best 22 out plus sore bodies will make it very tough.

Hope they prove me wrong. If we win this and get a host of players back next week, the sky's the limit for us this year. 

Get up Dees.

Reporting just now on AFL website, that we have ruled out Hogan, Watts and Garlett. Concerning.

That's a fair chunk of our fwd line...

They can cheat some more by making Roos an offer he can't refuse!

They did that in the mid 90's and won a flag from it!

Given Hogan and Watts were already out, really only Jeffy we need to cover now that "Tommy the Gun" and "Pedo the magnificent" have stepped up...

Swans are over rated. :huh:

Maybe I have missed something, but Hogan trained fully in the main group today. Why wouldn't he play?

Time to bring in Dean Kent? Fantastic game last week....

It's an interesting selection dliemma.  You'd think that Wagner would be a straight swap for Salem but for Garlett, I see three options - Kent, Kennedy or JKH.  JKH has been playing more of an inside mid role rather than forward, so will they go with the roles that they have been playing at the VFL?  Of the three, Kennedy produces the best forward pressure in my opinion but the final decision is a toss of the coin job.

Th FD probably have data and opinions about where Hogan's at that they don't publish on Demonland... Could be any of many possible reasons.

Am trusting their judgement this year.

Agreed. Kennedy is the toughest defender, Kent is the most offensive and best kick, and JK hasn't been playing the role and looked out of place a few weeks back in the AFL. 

I think Kent might get the call up with a clear message of prove yourself defensively or don't expect another contract.

How does hamstring tightness for Watts goes from a "expected to play against WCE", a "hopeful for Sydney" to a "week by week proposition"? Will the same happen to Jeffy? Who knows when we'll have a full strength forward line.

The only problem being that we play the strongest Swans side of the season so far and basically at full strength and in form, with 6 wins in their last seven games, with us on a third six day break and having played in Perth last Saturday.

Then again we are having a red hot go, no matter who is in the side.

They were extremely lucky to win against tigers (30 points down) and bombers (18 points down with minutes to go).

Also, they have scored 81, 88, 80 and 86 in their last 4 games. We have only scored under 80 once this whole year and that was when spencer was injured in the first quarter.

I think a key with the replacements coming into the side is that they know they have to perform or it's back to the vfl. Competition for spots is something we haven't had in a very long time and it's benefiting our team immensely.

Hogan was fine with waiting another week, he was again very upbeat with  the supporters

Spoke to Jeffy, the hamstring was ok, but they weren't going to risk, like Watts, was going in to discuss, obviously erred on side of caution

On JKH, had a chat to him, prerequisite for AFL team is ability to win your own ball, Macca suggested playing him inside to  start doing this consistently, last couple of weeks felt he is getting there, says it helps having Corey Maynard banging bodies and blocking. Under no illusions he let himself down early in the season

    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
