I think you’ll be VERY surprised with our fwd line strategy in 25’ — it’s going to be completely different and much more modern ergo built to suit Fritta with space, more blocking, maybe some Kansas-city-shuffle type antics and I for one am SUPER excited to see what TC does with our much deeper & higher ceiling fwd line than what most perceive. 

I hope you’re right, and look forward to seeing it play it, I posted something in the Gameplan & Tactics thread last night hoping for what you’ve mentioned.

Surely a bit top heavy forward of the ball?  Can't see us playing with all 4 of them in the one side - though given the extended benches ususally used in pre-season matches they should all get some game time.

It's a bit top heavy I'll have to change the team.

I really look forward to your rolling squads Werridee. An emoji just isnt enough sometimes. Thanks.

But Id swap Tholstrup with Langford and Turner with McAdam.

Gawn & Lever would be  fairly handy ins!

I can't see Salem being in our best 23 any longer - injury prone & with the addition of Langford & Lindsay I can't see him playing either half back or on the ball - good depth though!

No mention of Jefferson as a possible in or IC - would like to see how he goes at FF with JVR at CHF although I do like the option of Johnson playing as he can be 2nd ruck - don't want them to ruck JVR at all so only options are play Johnson or play Campbell so for me Johnson on IC makes sense depending on who the opposition is.

I wouldn't forget Spargo (seeing him missed almost all of 2024) - good link player. Also, surely Sparrow, Chandler & Brown are worth considering as possible interchanges?

I tried to leave out who's been injured. Chandler is out for a few weeks and is Tholstrup injured? Play players like Chandler, Gawn, Lever and Petracca against Freo.

I've changed my round 1 team based on training reports

B: Lever, May, McVee

HB: Salem, Petty, Windsor

C: Sharp, Rivers, Langdon

HF: Petracca, Johnson, Chandler

F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, McAdam

FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney

IC: Howes, Langford, Lindsay, Turner

SUB: Melksham

EMERG: McDonald, Tholstrup, Jefferson

 

Casey

B: Hore, Adams, Bonner

HB: Bowey, McDonald, Moniz-Wakefield

C: Sparrow, Laurie, Billings

HF: Sestan, Fullerton, Spargo

F: Kentfield, Jefferson, Mentha

FOLL: Campbell, Tholstrup, Hardie

IC: Culley, Brown, Woewodin, Verrall, Yze

EMERG: Smith, George, Baldi

 

GWS

B: Buckley, Taylor, Idun

HB: Whitfield, Himmelberg, Ash

C: Callaghan, Green, Kelly

HF: Daniels, Cadman, Greene

F: Riccardi, Hogan, Stringer 

FOLL: Briggs, Coniglio, Bedford

IC: Jones, Ward, Brown, Thomas

SUB: O'Halloran

EMERG: McMullin, Wehr, Stone

 

GWS could have a tall forward line that's why I've picked Howes ahead of Bowey. Bowey is too small.

Buckley will get McAdam.

Taylor will get van Rooyen.

Idun will get Fritsch.

Whitfield will get Chandler

Himmelberg will get Johnson

Ash will get Petracca.

Lever will take Riccardi.

May will take Hogan.

McVee will take Stringer.

Salem will take Greene.

Windsor will take Daniels.

Agree with Brayshaw ahead of Febes as he is a premiership player and played and succeeded in more big games perhaps. 

Fritta very unlucky and Kossie probably Sub ahead of Flash or Jmac.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training.

    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

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. 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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
