Looks like the 12:10 rule is playing havoc with selection of both Sandy teams.

So Weetra goes from AFL to VFL reserves.... :wacko:

Think of it this way.

His got a taste and now knows what's required to be AFL standard. It's in his court now.

Josh Hill was terrible last year and listening to doggies supporters, he was paddling up sheet creek.

I'll give those two boys a bit more time.

wtf!! why is maric named on the forward pocket for the 1s but is named on the bench for the 2s?

With the 12/10 rule and with Meeson and PJ out it would be reasonable to assume that Spencer will play as second ruck to Martin. This will mean that Maric and Weetra will be playing for Sandy's seconds.

Also, is there any reason why Zomer did not get picked after his 7 goal effort last weekend?

He wasn't named in their best so maybe they were the only 7 touches he had? Dunno.

And whoever said Carroll is 189cm is cutting him a bit short (literally). Willing to bet he'd be taller than that.

The idea of fast racking Frawley has its merits but remember that Nathan Brown is 195cm and 97kg - considerably bigger than Frawley (for whoever brought that up)

He has had one chance so far and blew it comprehensively with a rather meek performance. His repeated lack of effort highlights some compelling concerns about his core attitude to making it in AFL.

He really needs to tear it up at Sandy over the next few weeks and demonstrate he has the desire to do all the things necessary to be an AFL footballer. Only then should he get another chance.

I didn't think his second efforts and alike were too bad. Still better than Robbo and Neitz.

But like you said, he only got one chance.

Garland got three chances after showing next to nothing, CJ is about to have his second after showing next to nothing and Miller has shown a tiny bit more than nothing and is still going.

I don't believe he was injured last week, I saw him a couple of times & he was fine. It makes more sense to me that after he & Bailey had heated words, that they have told him to sit it out until your ready to play & train hard.

I am a fan of his talent, but growing annoyed @ his laziness & lack of drive.

Is that just a guess or a fact?

There's a couple of threads on these things over @ demonology. Putting the rumours together with having seen & spoken to some players @ the 'G' against the doggies, it all seems to fit as far I'm concerned.

Take from that what you will.

You know that Bailey is changing the culture as his first (it seems) priority. THANKFULLY.

Don't worry about the ladder this year, who cares. I'd rather finish down the LWR end than 9/10/11th & pickup more talent like Morton or the one we could have taken, Henderson.

It's all good for our future crack @ a premiershio, instead of just building a competative team that gets near the finals but can't go on.

So its not a fact just mere speculation dressed up as a fact.

I didn't think his second efforts and alike were too bad.

But like you said, he only got one chance.

I think he got hit on two counts.

Slack attack on the ball and failure to chase and pressure.

For a player with his ability his poor attitude and mindset have undermined. He was sent down to learn a lesson and show that he wants to belong.

I dont think it always the end result but what you show in achieving the results. Garland less developed than Newton but tries and struggles at AFL level at the moment.

While not being the best player by a long shot Millers efforts and his leadership give him stay over talented players who are slack.

Neitz and Robbo are burning credits at the moment.

If Newton truly has it then he will get back in.

Rivers- Good defender, but certainly doesn't thrive at full back. more suited to across half forward. Plays best footy against the 3rd best forward where he can dominate them and float across half back

rivers plays on the best forward every week. the only reason you assume he is the third defender is because he is so good at reading the play that he drops into the space. don't seel rivers short, he is our best defender, and moving him to a HFF would be a waste.

you are correct we dont have a second quality KD. carrol will play the third man and hopefully frawley will be the FB eventually.

you forgot to mention tom macnamara in your analysis.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
