Jack Watts will Never ever "Kick down the door" at Casey but is he isn't a better bet at this stage of the season than Weeds, I'll streak naked down Kings Cross and hope I escape unscathed!

In: Stretch, Saelm

Out: Petracca (rested), Viney (rested)

Gut feel/speculation - Viney could do with a break from loading his injury. Petracca needs a freshed up too. 

Goodwin sounded reasonably happy with Weidman in his presser

Why is Watts required to have a "blinder" for Casey before being considered for selection? Nobody else has that requirement. Surely all he needs to do is demonstrate a willingness to contest most of the time which is what he was dropped for.

Keep the same side, we need some consistency. Weeds was probably pretty nervous he needs more time playing in the seniors to get used to the pace and the teams style and confidence, picking him and then immediately dropping him it not a good way to go. We may need him in the finals if we progress and have injuries/suspensions.  Watts needs another week at Casey, he needs to get his form back for the collingwood and hopefully the finals.

For all those who dont want Watts back in.

I think the things around what we wanted to see from them (Salem and Watts) was certainly a significant improvement to what they had been delivering at AFL level,” Plapp said.

“I don’t think we could have asked for too much more from them.

Out weid and someone

In Watts and Salem.

Absolute rubbish jackaub. Have a look at his emotions when we kick an important goal. He is usually the first to congratulate the scorer.He encourages and urges his teammates too. He is a demon mate, true and true. Forgotten the crucial goal after a gut bursting run against Collingwood? Have a look at his form before injury.

For those suggesting Salem is back in - According to MMM he certainly was reported: https://www.triplem.com.au/sport/afl/news/christian-salem-reported-after-vfl-incident-against-northern-blues?station=melbourne

I agree with Demon Andrew that he swaps with Wagner if he gets off. Wouldn't mind seeing Stretch get a game (perhaps give Petracca a rest to freshen up for the pies?)

If Hogan is fit and good to go, straight back in for Weideman, otherwise he holds his spot

If Salem gets off, straight in for Wagner

Who knows tho; the way it's going we could select Kennedy, Trengove and Keilty to debut and I wouldn't be surprised

Dec's form definitely warrants it, and it doesn't hurt Goody gave him a mention in the press conference. 

Might be a good chance to blood him against a team we should beat.

I didn't see the Casey game, so will not comment specifically, but Watts is clearly being challenged to show physicality and pressure. If he showed it, he will come back in. If he didn't, he won't. Pretty simple.

To bring him back otherwise goes against everything that today's win was built on.

Again, I stress, I didn't see Casey, so no idea how he went.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
