Bartram - excellent holding job

Bate - just occasional cameos

Bennell - clever but limited

Bruce - trojan and workhorse

Davey - angry but effective

Garland - did his job

Green - classy as usual

Grimes - confident and effective

Gysberts - a revelation again

Jamar - sublime palming again

Jetta - creative second half

Jones - one wonderful goal

McDonald - 3 disciplined quarters

Miller - provided a contest

Moloney - regularly broke lines

Morton - almost best form

Rivers - continues to concern

Scully - was well held

Sylvia - enjoyed midfield freedom

Trengove - was relatively quiet

Warnock - took his chances

Watts - must be dropped

Bate - weak,weak,weak

Didn't win a single one on one competition.

Only goal was a gimme which Jetta should of kicked.

He had a bad day like most of his team mates. He also did the most courageous act of the day backing into Waite and getting poleaxed, marked the ball and won the contest. Did you miss that, or was it a weak effort??

Bate didn't back into it just went for the ball but it was a good effort. he is more weak in a contest. Dropped a easy chest mark that cost us a goal early. Is very slow and not a clever player. Should have gone for a mark but he just left it trying to run on it but is to slow. Is unbelievably over rated. He is just a plodder.

Not sure what contest Miller provided with his one kick? He will be replaced by Dunn or Hughes

If that's the same incident I think it is he took quite a few short steps, he would have taken that easily if he kept going.

I have supported Bruce for most of the time he has been with the club but today he showed that he is slowing up and quite quickly. He seems to take an eternity to pick up the ball and then just as long deciding what to do with it, it's like watching the game in slow motion at times.

Is it just me or has anyone else noted his habit of trailing behind the ball as it goes over the line?

Why is it that these posts are always titled with ridiculously embarrassing puns on the opposition team name? The Booze? What is this? Creative writing hour at creche?

Like missing sitters (marks & goals)

Trengove - was relatively quiet

Do you think holding them back last week was a hindrance (maybe their confidence was growing each week they played, and not playing has set them back in that regard)?

In which case, they should be up for blinders next week!

how much do we miss anybody not named Rivers?

Can't keep up with his man, can't catch or punch the ball

The guy next to me was convinced they play him as trade bait for the Gold Coast so Petterd doesn't leave

Btw, you might want to take off your rose coloured glasses and put on your dose of reality set.

Bartram - didn't see much

Bate - pretty damn crap

Bennell - rarely got it

Bruce - great rebounding work

Davey - maybe the worst

Garland - very solid game

Green - great marking

Grimes - fairly good game

Gysberts - rising star nomination

Jamar - yet another ripper

Jetta - pretty quiet game

Jones - 1 great quarter

McDonald - tagged Judd brilliantly

Miller - out for Dunn/Hughes

Moloney - great contested play

Morton - more like it

Rivers - possibly trade bait?

Scully - first quiet game

Sylvia - possibly regaining form

Trengove - see Scully

Warnock - check O'hAiLpin's stats

Watts - one's not enough

Peter James was actually talking about Bate not Bruce!!!!

Pretty generous this week. Especially compared to last week, although this week was arguably a far worse performance.

watts needs to be played in the ruck...he needs to run around...

Watts needs to play forward/on ball at Casey.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.
