Reasonable changes but TMac must be on his last chance

Posted

Also just noticed Harmes didn't get named on the extended bench. His game for Casey was very solid and perhaps he could have taken Spargo's spot.

Dunstan being named is interesting

It  be is going to be interesting to see who of the emergencies or extended bench makes the cut. 
one of Bowey, Jordon Sparrow , or Hibberd 

will miss. Don’t think Grundy will miss. 
 

Laurie , Turner and Dunstan I think will miss

For any Dlanders who haven't gotten to this game before....to quote Molly, do yourself a favour and get there.

It's a great atmosphere and hopefully the team also redeems itself.

Will make an effort next year.

Just don't pull your pants down like Molly...

He's simply not best 22 anymore and hasn't been since last year.

Unfortunately when he's not tagging he's a limited footballer.

Would rather invest more time into the likes of Jordon and Laurie.

Think you'll find a fair chunk of them aren't as one eyed as most of the other big clubs.

They went through three decades of pain similar to what we went through.

They also had their own version of MFCSS which i witnessed first hand prior to their drought breaking premiership in 2017.

One of my best mates is a ferral Tiger and he just calls things as he sees it .... no BS and respects the oppo / loves the game & the mighty Demons are his second team.

There is the grog squad of course (assuming Shazza and them are still going)... but that's a diff kettle of stinky fish altogether 🤪

I know, DD. Besides, they’re at ours to make a shared ANZAC banner so there was a real sense of unity. Yes, there were some rough looking folk tonight but there’s rough looking folk in every cheer squad except ours and they seemed quite nice.

I like Harmes but he's no walk up starter nor is he a straight back in player anymore. I just can't see where he fits in right now unless he can add some other string to his bow.

I've always found it interesting how the coaches tend to keep playing players who are out of form. But I kinda get it with TMac this week.

He can be a huge asset for us if he's firing. I guess they're just giving him another chance to turn things around. I guess either he or JVR could get dropped for a while when BBB comes back in.

I love the capabilities of all three. Hope they all fire up.

I’m wondering if Viney is under an injury cloud hence why they’ve named Dunstan

Could be a direct replacement for Sparrow who may potentially get dropped.

Seems unlikely. JJ would replace him in the 22 over Dunstan I’d say.

TMac holds his place and no spot for Schache on the extended bench

Will be interesting to see if Brown plays VFL

Of the 8 on the extended bench you can only guarantee Grundy and Hibberd as inclusions. Any of the remaining six could get the last two spots

I think they will play Schache against North. I can’t see Max playing again in 5 days after an injury recovery.

Gawn and Lever in for Tomlinson and Melksham.

Spargo either replaced by Jordon or, presumably, Laurie.

Surprised re Brown. Nothing in the club’s selection article to explain his situation. Assume he is fit but not picked. Which surprises me given TMac’a form. 

He and Schache in for Max and Tom against Roos 5 days later.

McDonald keeping his spot is a surprise expect Brown is still injured and they have no faith in Schache.

 

Possible line up

B: Petty, May, Rivers

HB: McVee, Lever, Brayshaw

C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter

HF: Chandler, McDonald, Neal-Bullen

F: Pickett, van Rooyen, Fritsch

FOLL: Gawn. Viney, Petracca

IC: Grundy, Hibberd, Bowey, Sparrow

SUB: Jordon

EMERG: Laurie, Dunstan, D.Turner

I would swap Sparrow and JJ.

I suspect Goody & the FD probably want to see Schache butter up on his performance at the hanger for a few weeks on the trot.

He has.

The Champion Data guy  Hoyne, said Balta and serial holder Grimes were really poor this year for never neutralizing or bringing it to ground in a contest.

They either mark it or concede a mark/Free. Bodes well for our bigs to take a bagful of contested marks this week. Tommy to kick 5!

They're also terrible exiting their d50 this year. Need our smalls to make them pay and pressure hard

Disagree Red. If Max plays against Richmond, and gets through it ok, why wouldn't he play against norf ?

I do wish they wouldn’t name the team in such ridiculous positions - it is very annoying and totally pointless IMV.

 

I suspect TMac is in to give flexibility with Petty - I think TMac might go back and Petty forward. And if May was injured last week - he looks and played as if he was - that’s another reason to keep TMac in.

    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
