Talk of resting players is crazy.....  a win here will mean a final vs Geelong at the MCG, a loss will possibly mean playing GWS again up in Sydney with the confidence they will take out of just having rolled us 12 or so days earlier and with Toby Greene and others coming back.

We must hit this game at full steam.  The season aint over yet!

Exactly!  I really really want to watch the dees play in a final at the G. (though id consider a flight to Sydney it aint the same)

We look so slow once the ball is on the outside, the number of times swans last week and eagles this week just ran it up the wing with out us getting a hand on it is infuriating. Don’t know who we have to fit that bill but we need pace in the middle badly

Show the league we are one of the big boys

We need to beat GWS so we can play the Cats at the G, or would you prefer to play GWS again at their home ground in an elimination final?

We'd be [censored] crazy to drop Tyson right now

With that massive home crowd they will draw...only joking 'Red'..

It would be justice to knock the Cats out of the finals.

Tyson is playing to his 2014 form. Absolute top shelf.

Not sure if that is completely correct, but he is playing well and getting a lot of contested ball. He has well and truly earned his spot.

Maybe one change and give Spargo a  rest needs it to freshen up. Bring in Garlett  he might be the X factor.

I have a feeling Viney will play his first final. Nothing to lose and all to gain. He will take that chance if  foot feels ok.

Not for GWS, but I'd be getting Joel Smith back in ASAP so we can move Fritsch back up the field (wing/forward) where he can do more damage. He's handy as a sweeper/loose man across the back line, but isn't strong/experienced enough to be playing as a one-on-one defender - Exhibit A being that mark that LeCras took on him.

With finals looming though, none of Hannan, Kent or VDB would want to put in a dud game next week.

Sure, but who do you bring in? Apart from JKH who's not much of an upgrade on Spargo in any case, cupboard is pretty bare at Casey.

I rate Garlett over Spargo, but I can't see how we'll now choose Jeff after we dropped him for round 22. By all reports Garlett put in a stinker at Casey, while Spargo was better than in the Sydney game.

Hibberd is a worry. Who's left? I don't rate Wagner very highly, but he's the next man in and I reckon we need Hibberd for finals, so if he needs the two weeks off we've got to give it to him.

Posted

I'd like to see Bugg given one run before finals. I dunno if Viney will play again this year, and noone else jumps out from Casey.

The big ifs are guys like Weed and Spargo. Spargo since he didn't do a whole lot, and Weed as he might not be the matchup Goody wants.

Man. The week off before finals, the media, the fact our season extends by a fortnight at least. What an incredible time to be a demons supporter.

Is Viney running on solid ground yet?

Last I heard he was only on a treadmill, but that was a couple of weeks back... anyone know is he’s progressed?

Forget Garlett he wouldn't have kicked that Kent goal when the pressure was on he just wants the goal out the back & no contact - rather have Bugg as a pest at least he gives 100%.

Absolutely no chance of a suspension for Oscar.
AVB is a chance for a week for his errant elbow to the head o (I think?) Rioli. No chance of a penalty for the tunnelling/spoiling incident. Barely even a free kick that one.

Never ever forget that Christian was a Collingwood player, and that he has been all over the place re his inconsistency this year, and that we will be perhaps threatening the AFL’s pet project’s top 4 position, so

a week for each of them

Totallly unjust, but that is the AFL.

There is a break before finals, don’t rest anyone.  We need to finish as high up as possible to play a home final.

The club would appeal if Oscar was to get suspended.

I think Vanders gets 1 week and Hibberd gets a 2 week rest. Wagner in for Hibbo, no idea who comes in for Vanders, not Garlett by the sounds of the VFL report.

I don't think any of the 2 will be looked at l can't see any wrong doing as the game was a mini final hard fought and the Demons stood up when it counted. IMO they will be fine Mono and not intentional. Keep fingers crossed.

Exactly. No if and buts, the GWS game winner gets 5th spot and home final.

Huge upside if Dees get up.

Keep going hard, maybe excepting Hibberd who is mandatory for first final. No other changes after yesterdays heroics.

Having seen Garlett against the swans he's done for the year if Goodwin is consistent. 

Spargo stays in for the experience and Tyson is a lock. He's been great on the inside - set up first goal yesterday.

We do lack leg speed, but what you are referring to is often a result of having too many players running forward of the ball because we always look to play-on.

If we actually stop, prop and kick our way forward (instead of just playing on and handballing at every opportunity) we would be far less likely to give up these loose goals out the back.

spargo on thin ice, possibly replaced by garlett or bugg 

jack viney, please get your bloody foot right for september...

I very much doubt that Hibbo will be an out.  If he had any sign of a hammy niggle, there's no way they would have risked sending him back out yesterday.  Besides, I'm sure Goody said in his presser that it was cramp, caused by playing his first game for a month in a pretty warm temperature.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
