Our depth is now one of our biggest assets imho.

One or 2 outs wont hurt us nearly as badly as it used to. (with a couple of very obvious exceptions in the guts ofc)

Im loving the lack of expectation our supporters are placing on the newer kids. Develop them properly and we could be at the pointy end for years.

 

GO DEES!

Thanks PF 

Another great report. Very detailed and so promising from all concerned.

1. Say Tmac and Mitch Brown ( why is he in rehab BTW?) were injured and Round 1 was this weekend who would you replace Tmac in the forward  line with?

Sam W OR JV Rooyen?

2. Does the same side (23) that won the FLAG get selected on their form  and fitness up to now. OR is their a standout that could press for selection from our emergencies and up to say 33rd best players available?

Thank you

Thanks Picket...another top report.

Hopefully those injuries are nothing to worry about. 

The boys are sounding fit, enthusiastic and VERY committed. 

Go Dees!!

Fantastic to hear that it was a ‘fair dinkum’ match sim.  A few knocks and bruises which, on the face of it, seem little more than than you would expect on game day.  Seems that competition for spots is intense, and will keep everyone honest.  Obviously everyone  wants to be part of our next Flag!

Thanks Fence, for another captivating summary.

Thanks PF.

youve taken training reports to another dimension.

were you viewings from an elevated position? What security measures were in place.

i do love the fact that there is training with intensity, that seems to me the realisation of requirements of premiers.

I haven't been a huge wrap for our depth heading in to this year. Almost all of our top picks from recent years are were in the Premiership team and we only bought in Dunstan. Apart from Bailey Laurie and the first year kids we haven't got many top picks in reserve.

Then I remembered I wasn't a huge wrap for Sparrow or JJ, and Petty had missed an entire year and had barely played. Seeing and reading the intensity with which the boys is training is starting to make me think we might have a few surprise packet players ready to come in and impress if needed.

Most entertaining training report I have read.

At the MFC there are obviously no passengers or klingons...

I think the cling-ons were the supporters watching. 😁

Training pics show Blue 8.10 to Red 3.7. Make them train another 3.5 hours as punishment for inaccuracy. 

Round 1 will be here before we know it, it’s getting real now.

DeeSpencer I'd suggest looking at other sides lists to get an idea of how good our depth is.

There is no other side with as much depth as we have and in every position on the ground covered.

Really the only spot we don't have multiple ready to go options is the ruck...... but then no other team has the number 1 ruck and an upcoming ruck who will probably be top 10 by the end of 2022....

Answering a few enquiries, Joel Smith played well in defence and Moniz Wakefield has been training really well. Not quite as prominent today. If T Mac is injured Id almost go with MAJAK. Interestingly Clarry, Jack V and Tracc ALWAYS play in the same teamtoday it was blue, also tellingly Lever and May also only play in the same team and today it was Red.

You cannot get into the ground so my view is always from outside the Fence looking in at ground level. Would LUURVE to sit elevated in the stand but No Dice with COVID. Two other people were watching training. Cheers PF

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
