LOL!  Goodwin said 'Oliver has been high maintenance in the first few days', wanting to play this week.

That's Clarrie!  Raring to go.  Not this week.

Gus to the guts?

Does anyone know what is the issue with Tomlinson, up to his injury a year ago he was good and now seems to have lost confidence.

Get Brayshaw into the guts.

Wasn't it in Alice Springs against Adelaide 2018 that Brayshaw had 37 disposals and 3 goals?

Petty stepped in and took his spot.

interesting stats from Goodwin's presser - we're 5th on the ladder for scores from f50 entries over the last three weeks, so things are actually working not TOO bad

personally i don't want gus moved into the midfield - his best footy is played as a half-back interceptor

Salem into the middle, bring in Hunt/Rivers. 

I don't think Salem's knee is quite right yet. He seems to lack penetration in his kicking. For that reason, I'd leave him in the backline. I see three options to replace Oliver:

  1. Straight swap with Dunstan
  2. Brayshaw onball with Hunt or Rivers coming into the backline
  3. Harmes to the Oliver role and Neal-Bullen being added to the midfield rotations, thereby allowing Laurie to be selected for debut on the HFF.

I'm guessing they'll go with the conservative option and pick Dunstan.

Yes it was. And remarkably didn’t get the 3 votes that day.

The 3 went to ANB on the back of a couple of “Joe the Goose” goals.

From what I've seen of Tomlinson at Casey, he's lost his mobility. He can run in a straight line, but has the turning circle of the Queen Mary. At Casey, I'd imagine that he's been told to play the Steven May role, and organise the defence. But from I've noticed, he gets caught out of position too often. I wasn't surprised when Turner was given the nod ahead of him.

With Turner and Joel Smith as depth, I'd say that we'd put him on the trade market, and hopefully another club remembers his good form prior to his ACL.

Bit surreal not having the big red monster in the middle there, but I’d definitely give Gus and even Kozzie more time in there.

We could also have Vines and Trac with the bulk of the time in there along with Harmes tagging Wines.

I don't think so either. Was trying to think of reasons his field kicking could go so far off the boil and it would make sense. Chipped cartilage doesn't sound as straightforward recovery wise as something like a ligament strain. 

But that's selfdiagnoseit.com talking..

From what I've seen of Wines this year (have him in my Fantasy Team), we won't need to tag him. Port's most dangerous mid at the moment is Rozee.

With Lycett out, we should field a taller forwardline and stretch them. Similar plan to how Freo dominated us in the air. 

Posted

Does anyone know what rozee's mid - forward split has aprox been in his last few games?

He is exactly the type of forward we have struggled to cover since jets played his best footy in 2018.


Posted (edited)

Is the last game Oliver missed also at Traegar park against Port?

 

EDIT** I think that started his last injury layoff.

I wouldn't assume too many would make the trip from halls creek to Alice...it's over 2,000 km.

I actually thought he was from Fitzroy crossing...that's another 400.

But it would still be great. I wish him well.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

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.

    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.
