TRAINING: Monday 1st April 2024

BBB may be rested for Schache, as no point in destroying what's left of his knee, with a 5 day break.

Crows are not strong in key backs, so Schache could go ok.

Given the training reports of Chin looking upset, it could be Kolt in for his first.

I think Woey will get a full game, as he was sub and is fresh from Saturday.

    Have a sneaking suspicion that Kolt could get a call up this week given they've flown him up and with clouds over Chin & perhaps Trac.

    After watching the session this morning im thinking the same, cant see Chandler playing.  

    But I imagine if selected Kolt we be the sub as I think Woey deserves to start.

    Trac looks fine, no strapping, just not his normal self. The only people with noticeable strapping are Chin and Tom Mc

    Tracc can be super up & about then give the impression of being a bit down and grumpy at times (on the track) from what i've witnessed.

    Might be just his nature or could be carrying something?  He wanted to keep to himself (mostly) coming off the track last week and looked a little forlorn.

    I have a feeling Trac and Clarry are both playing with one hand tied behind their back(s).

    In the Hawthorn game Trac was in visible discomfort with one of his hands and it was the one he ran 100m to punch the ball through for aa point with

    Yes i noticed that against the Hawks.  Hopefully not much in it.  No doubt many of the boys are carrying stuff we never hear about.

    Had a good game at Casey.

    If Chandler doesn't get up he could be in.

    PS Given that the sub is no longer a "medical" sub I wonder if we will relax the policy of debutants not being named as the sub

    There is of course Laurie who would come into consideration if Chandler is not available

    Feel like Woewodin would be the choice to come in, then you push Billings into the forward line and have Laurie as sub. To me that’s obvious, would love to see Kolt though.

    We really should have been scheduled to play Port on the Friday night giving us a 6 day break. The AFL should try to avoid 5 day breaks as much as possible if not at all.

    Every team has to have at least one based on the fixture. I think this trip will be very fruitful for us. Light/limited training week into a game is fine in my opinion and the players will tell you that too.

    Even if BB didn’t get up, I doubt we’d go with Schache. Can play Petty forward if May is fit and if not, Tomo can come into to let Petty go forward. Then play Kolt as a medium forward if we have to.

     

    lots of options before having to consider Schache again. Surely!

    Schache wasn't brought up with Kolt so I doubt he is in consideration unless he is flown over in the next day or so.

    Schache is in Adelaide and did fly up with Kolt as per the training gallery and posters on this thread😂

    Great thoughts. Do you see any merit in Tomlinson back in for TMac going forward?

    I don’t see Tom going forward now he has slotted in down back, BUT that is obviously a possibility.

    I am just unsure who Goody has less faith in now, Tommo or Schache.

    TMc will not go forward until at least May is 100%. Even then i think his days forward are likely done plus he adds a bit back.

    Would not be surprised to see Kolt come in if Chandler (who played well) does not come up.

    His name wasn't mentioned in the training reports except to say that there was no sign of him.

    Bendigo_Demon did say he was there. Page 1. 
     

    seems as though it may have been lost in translation but the post says no sign of Chandler, then Schache, McAdam and Kolt here too. 


    I interpreted it as Schache is there with McAdam and Koltyn. Can see how others interpreted as him not being there though.

    Surely not. Tmac has been awesome down back, don’t ruin the rhythm.

    Schache was definitely there. When the team bus arrived, there was a heap of whooping and hollering in the rooms, then lots of love for McAdam on the field. That’s why I got the impression he might debut. I don’t think the selectors will make any decisions until Wednesday night, but with Chin, considering it’s his good knee that was strapped heavily, and his general demeanour, I don’t think he’ll play. BBB and T Mac will definitely be wait and see.

    lol. I interpreted it the other way and at the time was wondering why Schache and Kolt were mentioned at all not thinking there were coming over particularly because they just played at Casey.

    Poor Casey might need to pick some Demonlanders to play for them this week.

    That was my first thought until I realised Casey play Saturday so those players who didn’t play will have flown back by then to suit up against the Borough! 😂

    If Chandler is in doubt would they consider AMW? Has been consistent in the VFL and seems a like for like?

    McAdam still seems a week or two away.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
