Weed needs to impose himself this week. 

He just has to. 





 

Only if he has a continuing role at MFC or indeed with anyone else in the AFL 

 

too good for the VFL but the seniors 

not good enjoy to impose yourself or show promise only every now and then 

not when there are others

There are a lot of what if's in the draft (as always)

But Pick #9 we selected Weed

Pick #10 Carlton selected McKay

If people are looking at Melksham's stats last week they are looking in the wrong place.  10 d, 9 k and 4 m doesn't look great until they realise he played only 54% game time:  barely played 2 quarters.  I think he is carrying a foot injury perhaps connected to he one which kept him out for a while several years ago.

Last week he enabled two goals in the first quarter with pin point passes, to keep us close to Adelaide.  He barely played after the 1st quarter.   He was far from our worst vs the crows - not even in the bottom 6 given his low game time.

I'm not a Melksham but I can see that he plays a valuable role most weeks. 

He doesn't tackle Melk maybe he's been saving tackles for a big game like tommorow night.

He did have 5 score involvements against the crows in 54% gametime which is decent.

Can deliver a sumptuous ball on the chest.

He was our worst, and his only efforts were in the 1st quarter.

I heard this afternoon that it was going to be open.

If it rains and they have to keep it open, will the quick sand favor our game style over the Dogs?

Amazing how some just get a free run at it each week.....

Truly bizarre. 

Which is Why we will struggle vs Dishlickers tommorrow night!! ASSUMING we will play!

Good selections, prove that last week was an off game.  Deliver the ball properly to Weidemen and well Milkshakes is probably lucky

Roof open or closed? Anyone in the know?

It'll be open and it's absolutely rubbish. Window dressing of the highest order! It's seen to be doing something. If there's covid in the stadium it's going to be there roof open or not. Hopefully it doesn't rain and ruin what is to be a good match.

There is consistency in our selections or non selections this year. Very hard for others to get a look in. I guess a 1 point loss is close to a win, though, our system needs to be looked at, given we were nearly 3 goals up with 7 mins to go. No heads to roll!

I thought Melky did alright in the first half. If he can keep that form for 4 then he will keep his place. Must be on thin ice though.

No mention about Jetts injury. Was it a leg or ankle thing? Anyway, out and the quarter back is up. 

Hunt (who was off last week) and especially Salem are so important for our backline structure and their presence when getting repeat 50 entries and closing down corridors, as are our wings.

The pressure is on Weids. I believe he will rise for the big game.

ANB is also under the pump, but, given we need to stop some of their players, he should thrive with hard run with's and lockdowns.

Petty will have sorted a few things out by now and could be the big improver.

Fritta won't have two bad games.

Bowey the med sub. Get him used to the regime as Sparrow and Chandler need game time. Can't see us going with BBB.

Addit: no Casey game, so Sparrow to be the med sub

Lots of great match ups, of course the one they all talk about is Trac v Bont, but the match up I'm most looking forward to is Spargo v Daniels.

i wonder whether anb might take him as our fittest player - caleb daniel just runs and runs and runs

i'm also wondering whether harmes goes to liberatore and tries to stop him being so impactful winning contested ball

there's so many interesting clashes around the ground between types of players

i'm pretty excited to see how we go; it's a massive challenge for both clubs given that the are both in terrific form and playing really well, plus both have had covid distractions 

gotta curtail their fast ball movement and force them wide and long to contests

Surely Sparrow gets the sub. With no Casey game this week he is the most in form and could have the greatest impact if needed.

Would have loved to see Melk as sub instead urgh.

    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
