Probably been mentioned but on Footy Classified they showed Hogan at training hitting the tackle bags, though he was avoiding his collarbone in the footage they showed.

Doubt he plays this week but he looks keen as mustard, and might be a chance vs the Filth.  The kid wants to be on the field badly, you can tell he desperately wants to play finals.  More than anyone he deserves a happy ending to this season after the crap hes been through.

I just wonder if people would be so lenient with Weideman if we had lost the game.

I must have missed his efforts, I thought he was poor. 

He was poor. No question.

Pros: competed pretty well in the air (without marking the ball) and laid some good tackles. Good general pressure. One good lead that was honoured.

Cons: barely got a touch. After his nice lead turned the ball over with a poor inside 50 kick. Missed a gimme after a gift from max.

That said is suspect he will play again and jack will need to perform for casey and show real intensity to have a shot of playing against the pies. I'm ok with that decision, should it eventuate.

I hope jack does what he needs to do and replaces Weed for the pies game. Also hoping Hogan comes back soon.

Does not deserve a senior game this year. 

That is seriously pathetic

Bugg has to earn his place like everyone else. The 6 week suspension was probably close to season over, depending on the VFL fixturing. 

He has no match fitness.

Jack Viney on crutches is what is being reported on 9 News. Is he a chance to miss?

Been on crutches after every game sice he returned from surgery. Precautionary measure to help manage the wound before match day i believe.

Having said that, i would support giving him either the lions or pies games off to give him some extra healing time if possible

Out: Garlett - can't possibly just keep playing how he has been. Not attacking the ball. Making horrendous decisions with it. Missing simple shots. You can't take a small forward down on confidence and impact in to finals. Has to go back and get right in the 2's.

Out: Viney (rested/injured)

In: Stretch, JKH

Melksham goes in to the midfield to tag Zorko so we need the extra half forward in JKH. Stretch plays wing and Harmes/Hannan/Petracca move closer to goal.

If Hogan isn't all that far off I'd stick with the Weid. Give him a go against younger opponents. If not I'd bring Frost in and decide based on match ups if Frost should play forward or back. He's not a forward but I think he can offer something in the 2nd tall forward role as a pressure and physicality player. That's all we want from the second tall.

 He doesn't deserve based on his form whilst playing or the fact he was suspended?

Garlett will not be dropped.

Maybe, but I can all but guarantee he doesn't touch it in a final. 

His efforts have been insipid of late. Absolutely no interest in winning the ball under any physical pressure.

What a load of rubbish.  He has had a couple of down weeks and it's seems to have fallen in line with the death of a family member.

His tackle numbers have dropped away since mid year. The clangers are rising. And the physical play has been non existent for most of the year.

Yeah the worst of the weeks have been the last two but that doesn't mean you get a free pass. If he's flying back and forward across the country that's more reason not to play him. 

Small forwards who don't lay tackles and don't play with physicality have been found out in finals over and over again. Garlett has two weeks to show he won't be one of them and I'd rather he earned his spot back to do it. Just like Watts should be/is doing.

I agree Jeffy hasnt been brilliant but he is far from our worst. If we had a fully fit Hogs and a confident Watts it would make is role a lot easier.

When you see someone on crutches due to a foot injury usually you see them with a moccasin or a thong on the sore foot.

From the news footage Viney had both feet in shoes/runners which indicates to me it's purely keeping some weight off.

Club expects him to play according to the AFL site.

He didn't sound confident when interviewed.  Looks like he might miss

    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.
