Sylvia - The Footy Show

yep.. might just need to worry more about his day job than moonlighting !!!

Posted

Bartram - was rarely sighted

Bate - obviously under duress

Bennell - tried but failed

Bruce - had no influence

Davey - quiet then worse

Frawley - loose and ineffectual

Garland - was shown up

Green - couldnt get started

Grimes - prolific but loose

Jamar - can't criticize endeavour

Johnson - probably not playing

Jones - scarcely gave whimper

McDonald - loved his endeavour

Moloney - many ineffective disposals

Rivers - game has passed

Scully - no repeat heroics

Sylvia - a major disappointment

Trengove - couldn't handle pressure

Warnock - impressive game again

Watts - had some moments

Hughes - cannot be retained

McKenzie - just a game

Can't say I agree on some! VERY harsh on Jones who I thought worked very hard , especially early , before he took a heavy knock.Green did pretty well,Scully got plenty of it but made a few judgement errors,Watts looked a little lost at times but I very much liked a couple of his contested marks.He WILL be the answer up forward.I also think Bennell has the makings of a very good player.

The major issue was the overuse of handball and inability to hit targets when we did eventually kick it.Even though we looked flat and played poorly we were still in the game for the most part.Something to learn from.

Garland will be a much better player when he gets a full pre-season behind him. He missed far too much football in the last 13 months, but he wasn't the worst today. A special mention to Jordie, who kept up his tackling average. At least HE didn't turn the ball over. And Jamar took on both Cox and NNN all day, never stopped trying.

Will someone tell me why we stopped running? Our work rate off the ball was terrible.

i really think last week against the dogs was very energy sapping and the young bodies just could not come up for the next week in time

    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.

    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
