Mitch H is not loved by a few Bulldogs fans

Is he their ANB?

Would you love a Midfield that stood for 45 minutes, in a GF and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING….

My pics don’t do it justice. It looks amazing. But whether it’s gonna be ready to play on is another thing entirely. I’m glad a couple of other games will be played on it before ours. 

I agree, that turf is ready grown before  it’s shipped in. The big question is has it settled on the deck.

Yep. If it starts shifting and players lose their feet or get stuck when they change direction. 
Look out. It will be front page on Friday….

Doesn’t look very stable in those pics to me.

I wouldn’t risk Viney for Round 1

Tom Sparrow the time is now

Sparrow should be the man. Knee injuries are too risky to 'rush back' from reduced training capacities into the team. We should just wait ... both Viney and Sparrow in the one team performing similar roles would be awesome and worth waiting for - particularly now that Sparrow is displaying the skills, attributes and drive we previously expected and hoped for on a consistent basis. These two are going to be a tag-team of toughness, brutality and ascendency. We look for mongrels and now we have them.

So who gets Fritsch’s forward line spot? Chandler?

JVR?  Height diff only 5 cm.

Let Grundy or Gawn spend more time behind the ball especially as WB defence isn't that tall even if they put the very inexperienced Darcy back there.

Schache?

Could get thrown down back if their tall forwards start to get hold off us.

It's time for people around the league who only saw a couple of his good cameos at Melb to accept what he is: an average player that will have a good game every now and then. At least ANB will give you constant chasing and pressure all game whereas Hannan's thing is flying for speccies.

Could he do a job in this game for the Dogs? Yes he could easily pop up and kick a few, but I know who I'd prefer out of those two.

Social media let a small clue slip with a prominent Laurie photo.

Logically it with be Laurie or Woey and I think they’ll stick with Laurie as the forward.

Same 22 as the Tigers game.

Doubt they mess around with talls for no reason

In the GF May settled a score with Hannan and legally dropped him in play the first quarter.  If he plays fwd he will steer clear of May 🙂

Fritsch out mmmmm!

I’d like to know just what his injury is.

Me too. It can't just be a simple "someone stepped on his foot". You don't miss that much footy from a bruise.

Must be something more sinister. A hot spot they are trying hard to manage or a hairline fracture. 

Viney sounds like some bruising/swelling maybe a low grade PCL?

According to AFL website, Frtisch further away than we think.  Viney closer to playing:

This is the post @DeeSpencer is referring to.

Twitter's image cropping algorithm is pretty crappy so here is the photo he is referring to.

Viney, Fritta and Salem are three big outs. We will do well to win without those 3.

Hope I am very wrong, but I just don't see 'it" in Laurie.

From Goodwin's press conf:  "Look, Viney, Fritsch and Salem all won't play. Viney is probably, he's close, you know, he's a big chance to play next week and Fritta is very close as well. He'll play next week as well. So and potentially Salem as well," Goodwin said.

It sounds like they have recovered from their injuries but just underdone.  "So those three guys just a little bit short in terms of their preparation. But we feel like with another couple of weeks of load into their bodies, they're going to be right for the season, for the whole season"

I'm sure we are all happy to read that last sentence!!

Is there a Casey practice match this week for them to have some game time?  Otherwise more intense training!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
