Not sure about tmc at chf but hope gets back to form,imagine if that front 6 were all in form they would be very hard to beat.On paper thats a finals forward line

Sorry Apologies to Lord Nev and Joel Smith who both could have been in Interchange or if not fit enough in that category.

Three talls up front won't work. May in his article on the AFL website yesterday stated the plan this year was to lock the ball into forward 50 so we need more smalls for that.

TMac and Melksham out for Spargo and next best small (whoever is training the best, perhaps one of the newbies)

I wouldn't have Tmac starting at CHF with Jackson Brown and Weideman there.. Way too tall.

Hard to imagine our best 22 with Tmac starting at CHF after his performance over the last 2 years. I don't care how fit he looks this pre-season needs to earn his way back into the side.

Usually practice matches are a chance to play players in different roles or play players not in the 22 to see how they perform under match conditions against another team. No team ever plays their best 22 in a practice match.

Do we have a practice match this week or is the OP referring to the Preseason Comp?

It’s a practice match I think they will trial the 4 talls if not put in Lockhart

Works in a practice match with the larger interchange, but that forward line is probably too tall.

We're still missing the small forwards we need to consistently win games. I know we drafted that way but until they're up and running, I reckon we could be looking at more of the same.

At least one of TMc, Jackson, Weideman or BBrown had to miss out on a weekly basis.

Well what is it, play our strongest team or trial things? 

McDonalds pre season form is too hard to ignore so it would be playing their strongest team like Jordon that’s why I have him front of Lockhart

players regularly will sub out at HT/3QT in praccy matches, i'd imagine Brown would probably come out at some point maybe same as jackson to not over work them early on.

Similarly hibbo and jones would feature sporadically allowing nietschke/bowey/laurie the likes a feel for it for a quarter here or there

can also see viney/gawn sitting out say a final quarter to allow jacko to ruck and sparrow/jordon to feature inside

spargo and pickett another year and more mature should be improved and provide the small forward players you refer too

Is Tomlinson definitely locked in as a defender now?  Is he really that good back there?

I thought he was fairly serviceable last year. He's no star, but he appears to hold his own down back mostly.

Rather than trial players in other positions, why not pick the player that plays that position the best and most professionally and let them show it in a practice match? Scratch matches and training are good spots to try other positions.

I think we seem to be experimenting players in other positions too much in the Goody years.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
