Shocking luck for the Ped. Sounds as if he would have replaced Tim Smith (if needed)

Anyone at the ground with impressions on which tall defender looks likely?

Keilty has had a great second half but Frost has also improve so I got no idea

The concussion changes nothing.

If anyone comes back in for Smith it will be Weideman.

Pedersen had to be a chance if they were to use the bye to give Tommy 2 weeks off to fix his foot properly instead of rolling the dice that it will come good.

If he's not in pain they won't be resting McDonald on QB.

Just to reiterate, Pedo looked in a really bad way. There was no contact he just hit his head hard on the ground when falling backwards in a mark almost like a whiplash motion. Looked extremely groggy getting off the ground. Hope the poor bastard is okay.

Guys, I'm not saying play McDonald there all game. Just that with Pedo in, we have heaps of flexibility in how we do things. No other player could give us that.

Chook, a lot of respect for you as a long time poster, but that call is a howler and would yield negative consequences for the team. McDonald is often unsettled down back and his kicking off half back is suspect. No reason why pedo can't go back. He started at North in defence from memory. Good reader of play and can mark.

Pedo cannot go back. He has not trained with defenders. Don’t tell me he can fit in with defenders straight away. 

If you want to argue that he should come in as a forward then fine argue who should come out for him.

When was the last time Pedo last played a good game in defence at AFL level?

(In fact, when was the last time he played good footy in defence in the VFL?)

It was a very physical game and Casey boys handled it well. 

I liked smith and Wagner in defense. 

Jay played best game in long time. 

Pedo was best forward.

I've just had the tip his foot isn't in great condition and he had his boots off in record time out on the field yesterday. Purely speculation but they might use the week either before or after the bye as a chance to unload it if they are ultra cautious to avoid a Viney situation. After seems more likely.

A very open final quarter and we could only manage behind after behind. Willy took it coast to coast once late and scored a soft cheap goal so they'd be disappointed we didn't put the foot to the throat in that last qtr.

Without seeing official stats or bests mine would be Pedo, Jkh and stretch.

Of the potential lever replacements they all started slowly but by the end Kielty probably just shaded Frost for his superior workrate in the second half. Not sure either did enough to be honest but there's a slot there if they are deserving of it or not. Until he was concussed late Pedo was easily the most influential man on the ground and they may have even considered bringing him in as a defender, but his head hit the ground hard so he'd have to be in some doubt now. Petty copped the wrath of the coach several times from the box during the game , I don't think they were at all happy with his game and general positioning today.

Tyson was industrious but not dominant for mine. Garletts score line flattered him he was very poor again today. Hunt had a bit of it but wasn't influential. Baker was busy but frustrating in that every second good thing he tried to do ended up in a direct turnover, still has to work on his decision making.

Weideman after a slow start really was quite busy in the second half. Not enough to get promoted but a promising return. If the young rucks I thought Flip worked very hard today to get involved and ran to a lot of good spots, one of his better efforts. Meese tried to niggle him constantly all day physically but he handled it ok. He shaded King today.

Bugg was woeful, more interested in niggle, wasted chip kicks going forward, you'd expect a lot more from him. Smith was ok but just doesn't get involved and use his strengths of leap and agility enough. Johnstone was a bit better in defence than I've seen him as a forward has very precise kicking skills but still like some margin away from making it.

Normally reliable Casey small forward Angus Scott was also very poor today

The clouds rolled in as did a bit more of a breeze by the end, more like the weather you'd expect at Willy. Good to get a decent sized win but I'm assuming the coaching staff wanted more from this result

Edit: I forgot Josh Wagner, thought he was very good off a half back flank today steady and compact with his disposal

    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.

    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.
