Williamstown are a seriously strong team. 7 ex AFL listed players. Some very good VFL players in the team.  Fordham is one of the best VFL (non AFL listed) players. McLaughlin is a big in for them. Very tough game.  Casey (and Dees) eroded midfield depth hurts our chances.  At home, Casey can still win it but it’s more likely a Williamstown win outcome.

I’d do the opposite DD. I’d scatter the other talls  and make Jeffo the main man. I think he is being crowded out by the others. Give him the main role for a few games to see if he can step up. 

Well the selectors have put him on the bench. Middle of last year I said he was looking like Lucas Cook & have seen nothing to change my mind.

I know the VFL fixture has been talked about at length, but it really is outrageous that this game is on Sunday when Melbourne play next Thursday night. The way the VFL is run is hopeless.

I’m guessing our emergencies from last night will be the “few” that we pull out of Casey today that Goody alluded to in his presser.

It is strange as I would have thought that clubs had a big say in the timing of matches. Saturday 11am would have been more logical.

KC ...could you please throw some light on how the VFL listed players train. Do they all attend or only the ones likely to play that week...thanks

Sandringham v North on Channel 7.

Thought we might have got the TV game. Watching via the website is not optimal but the universal coverage is probably the one big improvement in the VFL comp

Next weeks VFL game is 5:10pm Friday at Princes Park against Carlton. Might be worth a visit

Anyone know the current plan for McAdam? I know they want more minutes in to him, but I reckon he’s the missing part to our forward line.

I think he’s been stitched up by the VFL draw here.

Is it just me or is this ridiculous that any player picked from today has only four days rest?

No because realistically the only change they would make is Bowey for Billings. 

You're not changing a team that's just knocked off the undefeated team unless you're getting your best players.

It’s still a crazy fixture and we absolutely should consider fresh legs. You can’t just ignore a 5 day break and the benefit fresh players have over sore tired players.

A fit Bowser for Woey would be very nice, just not sure if he’s ready off a long break.

And in an ideal world you’d get a bunch of fresh runners in on ever line. One or both of Billings and Windsor (purely due to his youth), maybe one of Chandler/Sparrow, perhaps JVR/Disco would be switched out with fresh legs.

Fullarton for JVR, Laurie starting for Billings would both make sense.

Hunter would be a possibility given the short break.

We didn't consider it for Adelaide game so we won't consider it for Carlton.

We've never been a team to rest and manage players off the back of 5 day breaks.

In saying all that I agree with you and would certainly like to bring in fresh players if need.

Definitely need to find a spot for Hunter in the sense of a position.

At the very least he has advantages as a sub

We’ve always been dumb and we will continue to be dumb is what that says to me.

BBB hasn’t had a kick since, Billings and Petty lost all confidence, not to mention the Oliver fiasco and Salem tore a hammy 3 seconds in to the Brisbane game.

There’s a good rest after Thursday and we’ve had plenty of rest the last few weeks, so it’s not exactly the same.  

Is Fullarton at 100% worse than 80% JVR (he might be, but I’d consider the switch because I doubt it changes the outcome of the game and will protect JVR and possibly Max if Fullarton can hold up in the ruck as well as Petty with fresh legs at CHF).

I think we made an error against the Crows, particularly with Ben Brown.

Must say I don't understand BBB's program. We treat him with kid gloves at training yet we play him in meaningless VFL matches when we have way too many tall forwards at that level.

He needs fitness but at his level he doesn't really need match practice in the technical sense. You could get three amateur players to provide him with body on body practice for example

Well Goody did say McAdam wouldn’t be seen for a number of weeks in Friday’s presser.

    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

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
