Schmitt, Hosking and StevicWho did we have last time over there?
Razor Ray is our boy
A love triangle where Razor Ray is at the centre of all the drama?Nah man, haven't you heard? Razor married Dean Cox and was best man at the Christmas party. He's in our pockets.
Just ask Freo.
MAX GAWN insisted he would train on Wednesday, and it turns out the All Australian ruckman is a man of his word.
After missing Monday's session to monitor his training loads, Gawn joined teammates out on Gosch's Paddock for the club's main session.
Both Neville Jetta and Alex Neal-Bullen, who also missed Monday's session, trained fully and look certain to face the Eagles in Saturday's preliminary final in Perth.
During the warm-up component of training, Gawn took the main ruck taps and worked with midfielders Angus Brayshaw, Jack Viney, Clayton Oliver and Bernie Vince, who is pushing for a recall.
The big man then joined in the club's match simulation and moved well, showing no signs of any injury.
Although the Demons are not expected to change a winning line-up, Vince and defender Joel Smith are considered to be possible inclusions.
Oscar McDonald got some work done on his lower back and youngster Charlie Spargo got his finger assessed and taped, but both returned to training without further concern.
McDonald rejoined training and seemingly moved well, but it was then decided by the club's fitness he should leave the session to avoid any further discomfort.
It seemed a precaution as much as anything, but one to keep an eye on later in the week.
Up to 1000 fans lined the boundary to watch the players train, with merchandise tents, face painting booths, food trucks and a sausage sizzle all taking place for the supporters attending.
Honestly think smith for Tyson would give us much better balance as we move fritsch to the wing and smith to defence.
I don't trust Smith's composure in a prelim final, particularly if we move Fritsch up the ground.
I’m not as certain as you are - but I did just remember he can get reported as many times as he likesGetting ahead of myself but if Tyson is again quiet and Bernie is again very good in the VFL, I'd make the switch for the big dance and have Bernie in the midfield rotation. Imagine the aggression he plays with in his last ever game. I'd put him straight to Cotchin/ Pendlebury and make their day hell Dangerfield style
I'd agree with you, but the amount of Talls West Coast have are concerning. i back Goody either way, but it's worth a mentionPlease no change. We want 22 guys that play tough, intelligent footy. Bringing in Smith could root our defensive structure with guys covering eachother.
Honestly Fritsch wasn't that composed last week either.
I wouldn’t compromise the midfield to cover the WCE forwards though. We win contested ball we win the game IMOI'd agree with you, but the amount of Talls West Coast have are concerning. i back Goody either way, but it's worth a mention
Get Spargo to bite their ankles.I'd agree with you, but the amount of Talls West Coast have are concerning. i back Goody either way, but it's worth a mention
Midfield is definitely still key, but if we don't capitalise Kennedy and Darling can hurt us. We often don't rule the airways, Contested marking can often be an issue for us against quality forwardsI wouldn’t compromise the midfield to cover the WCE forwards though. We win contested ball we win the game IMO
