Tom Green’s a chance to miss round 1 with a calf injury.

Epic out if that comes to fruition.

4-6 weeks from now takes him being unavailable til about rd 3-4

You’re short a 7th defender there, unless Riv is really only doing cameos on ball or Bowey is playing back from the forward flank.

I don’t think Spargo will be rushed this year, they painfully learned that lesson last year.

There’s a bunch of players who are playing to win their spot in the preseason games - AJ, Jeffo, the new kids, the new men (Sharp and Henderson).

Not having a go at you in particular but I think fans have to come to grips with the idea that Billings is playing to not lose his spot on the wing. If he’s adequate he’ll get the job in round 1.

Yep, I missed the 7th defender so I guess Bowey goes to the bench to take that spot, Billing’s plays on the wing which worries me. Henderson becomes sub (that’s a total guess as I’ve no idea other than a hunch as that’s why he was put on the list and Laurie gets a guernsey if Spargo doesn’t play

I'll do my VFL side again because I forgot a very important member of the team the 3rd best Casey listed player in Smith so I dropped K.Windsor put Henderson on the wing and Baldi in the middle.

Yeah, lost by 2 points. From memory, think we were up a few goals at start of game and GWS slowly clawed back and got the lead only for us to charge back but ran out of time. Yes, from memory it was wet and cold night and attendance was subsequently quite low.

May, Lever, Petty, Howes, Salem and Windsor with Bowey on the bench.

For mine the fitness of Spargo, who I rate, will be something to watch. I’m pretty sure the FD want him in the side as soon as he’s ready. That is probably after 2-3 games at Casey to get his touch but if we can’t play Windsor in the opening rounds, if Henderson isn’t ready and the form of Billing’s and Laurie is less than positive I suspect he’ll play earlier, perhaps even week 1. 

We’ve got potential small forwards in Pickett, Chandler, Spargo, Sharp, AMW, Henderson and perhaps even Brown, Billing’s and Laurie. The inclusion of Langford means we’ve now got an obvious Tracc rotation so taking it we’ll play 3 talls and Pickett will return in round 4 it’s highly likely Chandler will get the nod. Then there’s Langdon who could be earmarked for ANB’s role. That leaves Sharp and Billibgs on a wing, Spargo on the bench, AMW, Henderson, Laurie and Brown at Casey. Of those I think Laurie, AMW and Henderson appear closest to seniors with Brown further back. The question is who’s taking Pickett’s spot in the first 3 weeks?

Actually, Roost, I'd wondered if we'd SSP'd one of Neil Chordy's offspring...


My bet is that TMac plays well in the preseason games and that Petty plays ok but gets played as a forward in Round 1.

TMac was the 14th highest rated key defender in the AFL last season based on Wheelo ratings and our best. While this may not be the best way to measure key defenders, he was very good last year and he has reportedly had another good preseason.

I also think Petty could be much better as a forward this season than last. His lack of preseason last year meant he lacked power and acceleration. Moreover, our midfield supply was reduced last year due to Oliver being so down and Petracca getting injured.

The forward line showed against the Suns that it could work with Petty, Turner and Van Rooyen playing forward.

Decent team but lacks forward pressure, 

Teams will waltz the ball out of their backline

Henderson-as-ANB?

His GF tackling contributed to his Goss medal.

Howes, Billings and Lindsay played in the red and blue strip last week while Jefferson and Johnson played in the white strip. The only player I see possibly coming in is Henderson I don't know where he's at we'll wait and see at the Norf game. Laurie, Jefferson and Johnson as a possibility to be sub.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
