Cameron Bruce - pathetic dinky handballs that put his teammates under pressure. He does this every week, and has done nothing to rectify it.

Clint Bartram - continually gets caught holding the ball.

Brad Miller - the fact he has played all 10 games is an indictment on the MFC, and no wonder we are dead last. Fumbles, missed marks, poor kicks. He does it all.

Daniel Bell - shocking awareness, still hasnt taken any steps to improve that area. Been the same since day 1.

I can't fault Miller early on, the disposal to him was so far below par that it was embarrassing.

Missed a sitter of a mark with no pressure in the 1st quarter. So when the ball did get deliverd to him well, he failed miserably.

Also had the ball to himself on the boundary line, and fumbled it over the line with no pressure at all.

I thought you would be 'up and about' after today's game. You're usually there to pick over our carcass like a vulture. Your posts are so one dimensional it's hilarious! These guys weren't the only ones who sucked today. I thought we were going to lose when i saw our team on thursday. Some of the guys who were dropped was just plain baffling. Got no idea why Valenti was dropped for an Yze for instance. :blink:

I totally agree re: Bell and Bartram. Time for Bell to go IMO, I see no value in him at all. Hasn't improved much but is regularly played. Bartram at least puts his body on the line and tries to win some of the contested ball.

Disagree re: Miller. He isn't helped by shocking disposal inside 50 (or the sunlight)

I don't think you can pick out a couple from the herd. We have a very very ordinary bunch of footballers in general not just a couple.

If you took our best 22 and put it against 16 sides in the comp I could think of very few of our players getting a game, to highlight your pet hates is not helping YM.

Almost always chooses the wrong option to kick to, and when he does in fact choose the right option, his skills let him down and he misses the target. Still think he is one for the future though and I like his endeavour.

The awareness of our current playing crop is appalling.

This will, hopefully, develop with some experience and some more confidence.

Bailey was renowned at Port as a fantastic player developer. We have to hope that he can continue this at Melbourne.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
