Votes please 6,5,4,3,2,1

6. Bate - easily our best

5. Jones - never stopped

4. Sylvia - looks good off half-back

3. McNamara - good first up

2. McDonald - tried hard

1. Martin - if only he could kick

2. McDonald

Thought his disposal and decision making was pretty bad, but as per usual he runs himself into the ground. Much respect to him

6. Bate (are we making a mistake by forcing him to play as a key forward?)

5. Sylvia (loved him off the half back line)

4. Jones (great kicking today. Lowered his eyes and hit players on the chest)

3. Valenti (fantastic ball winning in the first half. Disposal very ordinary)

2. Petterd (disposal still killing him)

1. Frawley (keeps on impressing)

Negative votes to PJ, Newton and Miller.

I have a lot of time for Miller but his kicking is below average and it's hurting the team.

PJ and Newton are great tanking weapons, but I think I speak for us all when I say, we've suffered enough!

Edit: I forgot to add something that I feel very strongly about... encouragement votes for Spencer. I know his attempt at goal went horribly wrong, and I felt horrible for him because he did quite well in the ruck all day. There is little doubt in my mind that he'll get a permanent place on our senior list next year and will develop into a very handy ruckman for us. Hopefully he won't feel too dejected after that shot on goal!

6 - Bate. Good game. Very few mates today.

5 - Jones. Worked as hard as ever, and turned it over less today.

4 - McDonald. Typical Junior (including 'average' disposal).

3 - Sylvia. Flashed in and out, but did a few nice things.

2 - McNamara. Made some defensive errors (inexperience) but generally sound debut, with impressive ball

use. If he can build on that effort over the next few weeks, he's probably a 'keeper'.

1 - Petterd. Worked hard, but prefer up forward.

Also happy with the improvement being shown by Dunn who in recent weeks has demonstrated that he is not a completely lost cause, and Martin, who has demonstrated he may have what it takes to succeed as a forward.

Bonus points to Paul Johnson who managed to have a lot of us, including at the club, completely duped in to thinking he might be able to play. He's not a ruckman, he's just a crap midfielder.

Too late again, but this is how I would have voted:

6 - Bate

5 - Valenti

4 - Jones

3 - McNamara

2 - Petterd

1 - Frawley

McNamara's kicking makes him an automatic selection for the rest of the year.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    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.
