............And thanks for ruining the game. Ha!!

Wasn't much of a game from Adelaide's POV but it did highlight the skills of our Indigenous players. Although we only had two in the team, it's comforting to know we have Jamie Bennell, Neville Jetta, Liam Jurrah and the ever-reliable Wheels around to add excitement to the club. I reckon these blokes could be just the ones to help to our revival as a footy club.

what about jurrah? did he play? my grandama watched the game and said he kicked three goals.. probably not the most reliable source though, she is getting on... still with us, but yeah, she's getting on...

Is that you Juddy?

No, Jurrah didn't play.

fell asleep early in the 2nd quarter but davey and wona were both stand outs in the 1st for mine.

Davey was excellent, putting other players in space on a few occasions.

Wona looked like he had picked up a yard of pace, lost his direct opponent many times and was just everywhere in the 1st.

Those interested can catch up with the Yuendumu Magpies Football Club website here.

I wonder if there is any opportunity for them to become the yuendumu demons?? That would be some great PR.

The presentation prior to the match starting showed how much this one game means to Indigenous players. It was almost like a right of passage/initiation for the young players. The serious intent on the faces of all the players showed how much it means for them to represent their people. I recently read an article on Griffen and Campbell. It appears that Aaron Davey is seen as an elder statesman amongst the "Indigenous Brotherhood". This is great news for our recent Indigenous recruits. I am sure, our revival as a super power will be driven by the skill, speed and unity these boys will bring . On a side note, does anyone have a comprehensive list of all the Indigenous players to have played a senior game for MFC?

Watched the replay and it was an ordinary game after quarter time when the rain came. Aussie kicked two goals but was pretty quiet after kicking his second goal early in the third quarter. Aaron Davey was just OK but I suppose that being an early February hit out so you can't take much away from the form of the players. My guess is that both will be rested from Friday's practice match and given Lima Jurrah's lack of conditioning, he won't play either and will be eased in later in the pre season NAC Cup/Challenge games.

Aussie is developing a lovely ability to appear in a hole in the forward line. He has a great sense of space. His converswion rate is pretty damn good as well.

24.4 last year IIRC.

It looks like Ozzie has dropped a few KG's as well. Hes looking very fit and much much quicker than last season.

The ABC commentators were wrapped with him.

It was really hard to tell who's playing well in that game with deep benches being rotated heavily but AW did some nice things. Agree with bt. Seemed to look to have time and space and he seems to know what's around him all the time.

Looking for big things from him and prove all those doubters who call him a one trick pony.

    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.

    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.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.
