May will play Marsh Series Game 2. Max Gawn the same. McDonald also overcoming a minor setback. Likely to play Marsh 2. 

There is a fair chance that none of those things will happen, particularly May. What makes you so sure?

Do we pick 26 for the Marsh games? I'd suggest we'll only just be able to field a full side this week based on recent updates.

it's 17 of February. Season starts in a month. Cool ya jets. May will play Marsh Series Game 2. Max Gawn the same. McDonald also overcoming a minor setback. Likely to play Marsh 2. I have no idea about VDB. Would love to know if he trained. 

Wish I had your confidence. May has been out for 5 weeks already when it was thought to be very minor originally (new setback last week).

I hope you are right!

I was only at training for 45 minutes or so but Brayshaw was most definitely in the main group and fully involved. Suspect Smith was also.Barring unforeseen mishaps Gawn, Tmac & May almost certain starters for the Hawthorn game going by the banter in the rehab group. AVB no show. Petty is a worry.

[AshleyH30 566]

This is what happens when none of the usual track watches show up to a training session; Demonland turns on each other.

With only snippets, we don't know who's tracking well and who isn't, so we begin to speculate. And in standard MFCSS, we think the worst has happened.

Are we still playing Essendon this Friday or is Casey turning up? Interesting to see how many fit players don’t get selected for the Marsh Series opener.

They ought to cancel the Essendon hitout as we're running our of players:

Here is the side for Saturday if we go ultra conservative and disregard players who are either currently injured, in rehab or have been in rehab for a large part of pre season:

B Jetta O Mac Hibberd

HB Harmes Lever Salem

C Langdon  Petracca Jones

HF Hunt  Weed   ANB

F  Fristch   Brown  Pickett

FOLL Jackson Oliver  Viney

INT J Wagner  Hore  Lockhart

       Sparrow   Jordan  Bedford  

Rivers is literally the one and only player I couldn't sneak in. But could put him in for one of the others on the bench.

Unavailable - T Mac, Gawn, Brayshaw, Tomlinson, Preuss, Spargo, Hannan, Melksham, Petty, J Smith, VDB, May, Neita, Chandler and who ever else I've overlooked.

And hopefully all OK with T Mac.

The most recent training report indicated he rolled his ankle and didn't complete training.

(unless you believe the Friday training report when Lever kicked 6 on Weideman, and T Mac kicked 3 sausages in match sim)

The vision shows, he is just a little bit proppy on that knee. just a little.

 I'd reckon he'll be back into main group within 7 to 10 days.?   Just a hiccup, so far.

Some Kade Chandler action that you've all been chomping at the bit for.

 

Just as long as all posts are winners, i don't mind.

Tom McDonald with ongoing knee management. Hopefully he comes good this year. He's possibly the most important player on our list at the moment, as he's our only proven big goal kicker.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/374096/big-demons-forward-joins-all-australian-ruckman-in-rehab-group

That's OK,  we need our number two's in all positions to get more exposure, with some chop outs from our more experienced guys;  so the 2ic's get the support they need,  so they can take the game on with confidence.

https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/tp-melbourne-demons?year=2020&sby=15

It will be our 2ic's,  that take us to the big Dance in Springtime. 

And looking through our youngest list players,  we have some talent there, to develop.  The future looks bright.

It's getting to that point with our current  2ic's,  the 26Yrs and younger,  who i think will be our regular finals nuclei. 

 

Now for 2020,  and lets give the top 8,  a shake.

They consider it  in 'house'  via Hugh Laurie,  then TBA, when diagnoses confirmed.  after the event. ?

Can't wait for that injury free 2021 pre season....

I thought it was an ankle. So much for our crack team of Demonland Trackwatchers.

He might have something separate with his knee but it was definitely an ankle/foot issue on Wednesday.

That is, unless T Mac's knee ends at his heel.

Think you'll find Brayshaw, Tomlinson, J Smith and O Baker might have a run somewhere. Not sure of the seriousness of Dunkley's ankle either.

I was being a little facetious but it is probably up for debate.

They need to 'confirm' the severity of the injury before 'advising' of the potential length?

Ugh.

Who really cares.
