Well this is positive reading! Sounds like they are having a decent crack which is what we all wanted. From the sounds of some of the missed shots early, we could have been a lot closer too!!

im starting to get very nervous about Jurrah, this will be 2 very bad games in a row for him

Its the pre-season, he is the only target up forward atm and the other teams will be playing closer attention to him this year.

I'm not worried but he will have to work harder this year I think.

Jurrah was pushed up the ground that quarter to get a feel for it. Had some nice clean touches

which will be really good for his confidence. Is getting caught behind the packs up forward, and is bring held

every now and again which doesn't help.

Sylvia and Grimes are playing phenomenally well. We are killing them in the midfield but just can't capitalize up forward.

We are not great at bringing the ball out of defence either.

Would love to win this quarter and give the bombers a scare. Remember we are without Green, Bruce and

Davey.

no mate, just going by the lack of posts that don't have his name in it, glad to hear he is getting into it

Great to hear particularly about Sylvia. He needs to assert himself this year to show he has what it takes to be a great player and prove last year wasn't a one off.

Also good to hear Jurrah is getting some touches. He is a freak but I don't think we will be able to rely on him. He is the x-factor that can blow the game apart but not the lynchpin that we can rely on to straighten up our forward line I think.

Miller is out there as are the top two. Bate isn't in.

Jurrah off the ball I'm not sure about.

That's annoying. We get first goal of the last quarter to get to within 15pts and they then kick three in a row..:(

    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.
