finding it hard to raise any enthusdiam on this one.

To be honest as so much occurred up the foggy end I found it hard to tell who was who at times..

I'll just chime in with an overview efoort.

Some of this disturbs me..lol.

Ooze did shine amongst that lot..that alone says it all really :blink: He was one of the few to actually manage any effect 6/10

I thought Johnson played a very honest game..he didnt get a lot of help did he. 7/10

Garland tried valiantly even if (again ) little support 6/10

what did come came from Matty W..who also seems to be improving..some of his decisions are well..hmm...could be better 5/10

again this irks me . If Im mentioning him, we're not going to well. Frosty actually does seem to be attempting to change his game 5/10 for effort. Stop looking to keep it half way backwards now , is this his new trade mark in stead of handball?? Get rid of it son.. otherwise..carry on with attempted transformation.

Aussie. tried hard all day I felt.Why wasnt he brought on the ball much earlier. He was wasted yesterday. 5/10

were any others really playing.. I couldnt tell..not until Brocky came on wearing his Jammies!!

Not Baters best day.

If most of them are going to play like that..stay home.. I could have !!

Dunn- never have i seen someones career destroyed so badly by being played out of position. Im sure this guy has more to offer as a forward

Posted

I am interested in everyone's assessment of Dunn. From what i can gather, he is being given a tagging role.

With Junior nearing the end, we have no midfield taggers, as Bartram tends to tag half backs/forwards, and is not physically up to tagging bigger midfielders. Every gun side in this competetion have at least a couple of stoppers on their team, and some of them early on in their careers never got much of the pill when they where applying themselves to this role(Kirk, Sewell, Rawlings, Cornes, etc).

Dunn tagged Hayes on Sunday, and i think you could mount an argument that out of all the Saints midfiedlers, Hayes had little influence. Although in the context of a 79 point drubbing in which we were smashed in the middle, it means little.

My point is though, no matter where we all think Dunn should be played, or how he should be played, if he has been given instructions from the coach to go out and try to stop an opposing influential midfielder, then he should be judged on that shouldn't he?

Early on I noticed one of our players give a handball but not run on to shepherd.

I thought this a bit strange so I made a point of keeping my eyes on the person giving the handball.

I was shocked to see that this happened a number of times.

This is something very basic as it gives the ball carrier an extra few metres.

Did anyone else notice this

Been doing to the exact same thing all year. Nothing surprising there

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
