OUT: WEIDEMAN, NEAL-BULLEN

No to Wagner.

Bring in whichever of our kids play well for Casey this weekend.   All about 2020 now, sadly.

The only Wagner I'd bring in is Josh. He can play half back and release Fritsch to play forward. 

If Preuss is okay then he comes back in. Will they have the guts to drop Weideman? 

Outside of that, there isn't much else at Casey, while May, Lever, AVB, Hannan, Joel Smith, Nev etc all won't be ready for the Hawks game.

Wèed needs to go with TMac back in the forward line, play Kelty or Petty down back.

Retire Lewis, say goodbye to ANB and work from there.

Pruess for Weids (if fit).

Decide on other changes after Casey plays.  See if anyone puts their hand up. 

As a minimum we need to replace ANB whether injured or not.  Very surprised he was called on for last night.  By all reports he didn't show anything in the match before the under 18s fiasco.

Makes you wonder where Goody's head is at bringing back someone completely out of form into a team where so many were already struggling.

Drop Jones. The embodiment to why we are so bad at the moment. He was well and truly finished last season. Playing favourites who can’t cut it any more.

Goody did one smart thing last night .. Melksham in the middle.. suddenly someone who can kick... Viney Brayshaw and Oliver in there is killing us all three just give it away either by foot or hand ... perhaps just change it so every centre bounce is Max Melksham Salem and Stretch ... others like Gus and Olly (who could start on the wings) and Jones can play on ball after the bounce and Stretch and Salem go onto the wings ..

Weed needs to go back to Casey to work on his game and he can be tried at CHB to develop bits lacking in his game at the moment...bring in Preuss or Keilty... TMac was better , although limping in last quarter (toe?) keep him back ...Jones? Viney? Trac? Lewis? Too many blokes we are trying to hide..

When under pressure people go to their favorites.

You want to drop the Weid?

No No say it ain't so.

I'd bring in either petty or omac, and send Frost forward to play directly on Sicily. He's there main intercept player so make him accountable, Frost is a liability back anyway but can stick to a player. Garlett did nothing, barley chasing which at least ANB does. If Preuss is right then him in for tsmith, otherwise surely we should look at keilty.

So, petty or omac for garlett and Preuss or keilty for tsmith

Some time to pause and reset.

Send Viney if fit to half back.  Give him time to man up, tackle and dispose of it without being panicky every time he goes near it.  

Send Weid to a wing.  Put Brayshaw on the other.  

Have a forward line of Preuss, Keilty, Smith, Frisch , Melksham, and try Bedford.

Lewis and Jones both out.  Petty, Frost, Salem, Hunt, Viney and Hibbard as back 6

Middle of Gawn, Oliver, Harmes, Maynard.

Bench of TMac, Stretch,  Trac, C Wagner

Weid is not doing the job but do we have someone to replace him?  For the moment T. Smith has his place, he can take a mark and kick a goal. It looks like Viney and ANB are injured and should miss rather than play injured. They need to be replaced with running players. The cupboard is bare. We only have the Wagners and other running players that have less experience. KK only runs one way. Preuss is not a key position target because he is as slow as a wet week and can really only play one position. Lewis and Jones are done and should not waste their records with a too late retirement. Seeing great players past their use by date is sad and embarrassing. If they both retire could it open a couple of spots on the list for the midseason draft?

A good organisation would at least have a respectful conversation with Jones in particular and Lewis. Obviously they will say they want to see the year through and help out with experience. Perhaps that is best but a conversation should be had.

Preus in for Weideman, won't even present for an option. Why was Garlett picked when he has been out of form for 12 months, has one good game in the VFL against a side that is likely to finish on the bottom. Couldn't believe the amount of people clamouring to have him in the team. Those that think Jeffy was the answer were asking the wrong questions.

tmac

Anb

viney

.......

if they are injured let them rest.

Garlett provided run and good link up work up the field, it is not his fault the delivery into the forward line was crap. Tim Smith is so much more versatile and mobile than Preuss and arguably shown that he has been our best forward target we have had all year. Preuss may be of use resting forward, he is so slow though. Frost has been our best back so far this season. It is run this team needs more of. If you are going to sacrifice a forward to play on Sicily then you are playing into their hands and Sicily has won the battle. The way to beat Sicily is to have a good forward make him have to earn it.

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

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.
