Second spot is well and truly up for grabs. Cannot understand the calls for resting players.

I can only imagine the players are in fantastic nick, relatively speaking for August.

You wouldn't imagine Goodwin and company would be that stupid to allow history to repeat.

Agree unlike this time last year where we were clearly running out of gas and declining. We are the opposite this year

Harmes very lucky. I’ll say Taj doesn’t set the world on fire but he also doesn’t burn himself like Harmes does. Tomlinson is also stiff I reckon. The super sub was working, no reason to change that IMO

Harmes played quite well last week

19 possessions 4 clearances & 4 tackles

So rightfully rewarded by the MC

Ha ha DS did say starting 22.!!

I mistakenly thought he meant Starting 18. I'll blame my poor tired eyes and brain.

If he'd kicked 2 of those 3 shots on goal most would be screaming his praises

Fair enough selections, Tomlinson was very poor last weekend & Woey will be good but not up to it yet.

Harmes was good & would’ve been in the best players had he converted & kicked two goals

JJ is doing his job while Clarry is out

While I agree, the club might feel that Smith needs to play a full game. With no Casey game this weekend, this is the only option. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Tomlinson is the sub.

Purely on form Michael Hibberd "deserves" to be the sub for this game.

Although, there could be a sneaky chance that Simon Goodwin pulls a surprise and makes Brodie Grundy the sub to give Max Gawn a bit of a rest in the game.

I guess we shall wait and see what happens? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Where's the evidence that Gawn is a "bit banged up"? can't see it myself.

He got belted a few times against Richmond.

Clashed heads with Ivan Soldo.

Fell over a few times. But that's footy.

Got poked or scratched on the eye in a ruck contest.

You could even see the scratch on his eye/face when Max Gawn did a post-game interview.

Obviously, AFL is a contact sport and you gotta be tough. But I still consider that "a bit banged up".

I wouldn't be feeling the best after the game. Although a win takes away the pain.

I'm wondering if we are setting up Grundy to come in sooner or later as a type of utility

Good to see Smith get a full game as he can play a variety of roles forward or back or as a type of link

I reckon Grundy could play a similar role (but not the same role) as well as a bit of rucking

I’d say Gawn is absolutely cherry ripe. Not sure a scratch is classed as banged up but hey you might be in your 20’s

I wish I was still in my 20's! 🤣

Anyway, I agree with you. Max Gawn actually played better after getting belted.

A hot shower and few cold beers after the game and I'm sure he was fine.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.

    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.
