6. Moloney - outstanding in close. So strong and fierce at the contest. Clearance king.

5. Jones - run hard all day was super impressive. Used the ball better, chased hard and made good decisions.

4. Johnson - My man PJ needed to stand up and he sure did! Career best game.

3. Morton - Untidy at times but just covers so much ground. Loves Subiaco... So much space!

2. Bruce - Like Morton, untidy on occassions but was influential.

1. Bennell - Gotta love this kid. Coming on in leaps and bounds! Little GUN

Apologies to Grimes, who was great, and Maric who bounced back well after last weeks dreadful game. Miller's first half was great too.

Says a bit about our suppoters.

Cameron Bruce is much much better than 7. TUT TUT

agree 100%... everyone doubted Bruce and he comes out with the second most disposals for out team and caps if off with a goal!! give this man some credit!!

And having said this.. I doubted PJ and he played really well against Cox.. I stand corrected!

6. Bruce (yeah i went there!)

No surprise that the hard tag on Davey as our #1 mid released Jones to play his best game ever. Replace McDonald and McLean with Blease and Scully and the midfield will be finally where we need it to be.

Bate??? what the hell?

He'd be competing for WOG, not BOG!

Really? I didn't think so, I thought he improved on last week. Still not great, but I wouldn't call him WOG.

Can anyone explain to me how Davey featured in any votes yesterday? Defensive pressure was down, run and carry was down as was his overall impact. I thought Nicoski did a very good job on him. Strange.

For what it is worth:

6 Moloney - Since learning to stay healthy and lower his eyes has improved significantly.

5 Jones - Great game. He, Morton and Bruce would have covered some serioues KMs.

4 Morton - Ran to space forward of the ball early then played impressively across half back.

3 Bruce - His weight of numbers and creative run outweighs the lack of accuracy at times.

2 Johnson - Surprised me. Drops the ball like a monkey falling out of a tree which leads to some absolute howlers. Same with Bruce.

1 Bennell - Impressed me at the Intra-Club and just continues to improve. Showed more dash and positive play than previous weeks.

Honourable mention goes to Miller, Grimes, Maric and Bartram who all showed some positive signs.

Robbo in the best in the Herald Sun, sorry Robbo but even you would admit that is ridiculous!

Well done Johnson, best game I have seen him play in a long time. I can't actually remember seeing him play as well as that. Got killed in the taps but made up for it around the ground as he should. Well done.

Bennell is becoming one of my favourite players, what a gun we have here.

Moloney is having a great season, showing what he can do with full fitness.

Davey was stiffled but still managed to exert his influence at important times. By head-and-shoulders our best player; our only elite player. (Green's probably the only other.)

Brucey worked his arse off and fair play to him. Probably a bit late in his career to teach him how to kick and handball but whatever, still was constantly involved in the match. Should've gone in hard at the body once on the far wing (from the TV cameras) but he shirked it, but still played well.

Jones had a great game, worked hard, got the hard balls and was always involved. One of his best matches, and a great goal too. Well done.

Thought he was in the bottom 6 players for us.

Finally got some glue on his hands in the second half, but he is so so bad below his knees it's painful to watch. I know we can't blame a player for a physical inability, but the game is way too quick for someone like Bate to spend 5 minutes fumbling the ball at ground level.

Stef Martin and PJ can pick balls up cleanly off the deck. That Bate can't is a massive worry. He is pretty much a half-a-body player.

Well I guess you could say that he improved on last week, yet still remains in our bottom 6. :lol:

You're right about his below-knee skills. He really needs to work on it if he's going to extend his career.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.

    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.
