Yep, just saw the replay. Genuine spoiling attempt going back with the flight.

Life ban.

It was very similar to Watts one yesterday.

Gawn was terrible today. Didnt lay a tackle.

He used to win games for us with his marking but I cant remember him tearing one apart this year

Difference being, I think, that Bernie copped Beams with an elbow, where as Wattsy was all body contact. I think Bernie's was a genuine spoiling attempt, and Jack was bracing for impact, which was minimal

First half against Port before he hurt his ankle. He was huge

In: Salem, Watts/Frost (depending on match ups vs Collingwood)

Out: Wagner, Stretch

Finding a third out is a bit harder if Viney is fit but Hannan, Vince, Harmes and ANB would have to be the ones in question. But I doubt Viney is fit.

He was creamed by Martin in the first half but improved markedly in the second half. Came out with aggression in the third which helped us.

He was also utterly dominant against the likely AA ruckman (Ryder) against Port before rolling his ankle.

Last week at least he was in the marking contests but today just wasnt close to them.

At what point will selectors bring Tyson into these omission discussions? He is a momentum killer.  27 possessions at 59% just doesn't cut it. He is also a liability away on the spread. And for those that want to quote its due to his role; Jones, Lewis and Oliver all went at better than 80%.

Out: Wagner, Stretch, Tyson (only if Viney plays which I dont expect)

In: Watts, Salem, Viney (if fit)

Yup - he's down in confidence and hunger. Needs to step up

Bernie's was a football act, the contact with his forearm was in the same spirit of sportsmanship as Selwoods elbow to the head.

Wagner and Stretch are definite outs.

It's worth noting Salem was dropped for form reasons. And then got himself suspended in the VFL with a careless act. I'd have him back personally but I'm not sure he'd be an automatic in at the selection table. 

JKH wouldn't shock me. Goodwin seems to be a fan.

Is Bernie in any sort of trouble for the hit on Beams? Was pretty clearly going for the footy and just braced for contact. Obviously trying to spoil but was looking the other way 

What colour is his jumper?  Has he a "bad record".  Is the MRP due to "send a message" about anything?

Goodwin loves tacklers.    That IS an amazing number of tackles in anyone's language.

all will depend upon injuries and suspensions

wagner gets a game cos he's a classic role player; like harmes he's not overly skilled but he has a dip at every contest

in saying that, it's hard to see watts or vince being suspended, although the latter is borderline compared to the former in the magoos - if he is to come back in, it's at the expense of either harmes or wagner you'd think

IN: viney, watts
OUT: stretch, wagner

B: Jetta - T Mac - Hibberd
HB: Hunt - O Mac - Lewis
C: Tyson - Jones - Vince
HF: Petracca - Pedersen - Melksham
F: Hannan - Hogan - Garlett
Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney
I/C: Watts - Brayshaw - ANB - Harmes

salem needs a massive vfl game to get back in for finals week 1

Tyson was one of the reasons we got out to a 40 point lead last week, opened the Saints up in the first quarter

    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

    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.

    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.
