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!

    That is possible too.

    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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
