Apparently they are saying that Pickett could play tomorrow even though he wasn't named emergency.

I remember Carroll came in to play his first game when he wasn't even named.. maybe that's why he was rested mainly during the second half leaving him fresh for Monday. Damn, it would be good to see Chopper playing and see him roughing up those pretty boys down there! He has that scary presence within him.

Give it a break :wacko: . Pickett was rested for most of the second half because he was cactus for the day, not to keep him fresh for a game two days later. If Pickett were to play tomorrow he wouldn't last five minutes.

Pickett is not ready. If he was, he would have been named, plain and simple.

He is not 100%, and will be another week or two away from coming back into thedemons squad. He is an impact player, i would hope we can bring him back when he is 100%, that way he willbuild the form that won us so many games last year.

A 50% fit pickett is not worth playing.

Fitness aside, his form doesn't warrant a call up just yet either.

Personally I'm glad ND is making him earn his spot back.

The way Pickett presented himself during the pre season was pretty average if you ask me. Let's be honest - he looks like he is 6 months pregnants. No players in this day and age can afford to come back overweight and battling to find fitness. I know he's a big bloke anyway but I have to say that I'm a quite dissapointed in Byron.

You'd have to imagine he will get pretty hug ala Kickett once he hangs up the boots!?

Gotta hand it to him though, he seems to do this every year, but he gets fit pretty quickly.

I dont think he gets fit quickly but he does his job and certainly deserves the 22. Dont play him tho. Hes not right and will provide very little and may have a chance of straining his hammy again.

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
