1. Frawley - awe-inspiring; I'd like to see him take on Brown, having seen him take apart Riewoldt in the last game of 2009 before he was shifted. Best big defender we've had since a guy called Paul Prymke was cut down by injury - he was going to be great.

2. Junior - what an effort; anyone who said he's not in the best 22 should be eating their words.

3. Grimes - how many games has he played? He's as brilliant as anyone in the AFL with similar experience; he's probably the best of them. Next captain.

4. Bennell - pace, balance and can hold a mark overhead.

5. Jamar - AA tap ruckman; can take on anyone. But should have more help next weekend.

6. Davey - still not 100% if you ask me, but delivers superbly

Honourable mentions - Bail, Warnock, Trengove, Green and maybe Dunn and Bartram for players who have been run-down by many, including me.

I think Brad Green might beat him to that. They're both natural leaders, but Green has the experience and determination.

1 - Jack Trengove

Sorry to Grimes and Bail.

Is this the first person not to give Frawley a nod?

6 - James Frawley (he is now one of our best players)

5 - Jack Grimes (didn't star all day but absolutely stood up when needed and showed that he is going to be a bloody outstanding player for us (he is already))

4 - James McDonald (that double tackle and smother sequence was worth four votes alone. Can't wait for this legend to celebrate his 250th later in the year)

3 - Jamie Bennell (he is the new Andrew McLeod. Will be one of our best players in two years)

2 - Brad Green (just a class act)

1 - Mark Jamar (used his physical presence superbly for us; carried the ruck all day and dominated)

And to Rohan Bail, gee what an unexpected find that is, certainly looks the part.

As someone who made the same mistake last week, I would recommend you have another look at the game if you can and see for yourself how absolutely amazing James Frawley was today.

6- Frawley (bloody brilliant, and shut down Burton who was killing us)

5- Junior (inspirational as always)

4- Grimes (great as always)

3- Jamar (continues to dominate)

2- Warnock (completely shut down Tippet)

1- Green

Bennell, Trengove and Bail very stiff.

This.

Honorable mentions to Joel Mac, Bail, Bate..

Great to see the improved defensive pressure in the F50, especially how hard it was for the Crows to clear it out of defense.

    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. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
