IIRC the first player mentioned is Bail, and the author says he deserves to be a best 22 player, which I found a bit off.

Pretty good effort, though.

Biggest errors - Cheney doesn't have good skills, Davey doesn't play half back, Frawley didn't play on Barry Hall, Jones didn't improve as a tagger.

But was pretty good overall, was spot on for most players.

Where does Davey play if not half back? I thought Chip did play on Hall? Agree with Cheney & Jones.

seems like few players will be shown the door and come the end of 2011, even more will be shown the door (if no improvement).

Well I agree with him...

I think Jones improved in his tagging role.

Pretty harsh to knock a guy who's in hospital with fractured vertebrae, but I thought he was spiflicated by Harvey when he was tagging him, and I'm not convinced that he will end up being a good tagger.

Jones had indeed improved but still not there... Close. . Decisions are better... Another step up again next year would be great .

I agree what exactly IS Daveys actual posi ? Will depend on role for the day. Bail .. Definitely a find :)

is a little kind to some players but a fair assessment me thinks

Spiflicated ? good description.

I would have liked to have seen Scully go with Harvey from the start.

Straight to the point by Luke. Seems to be a reasonable assessment.

Agree. So close to the mark that most of us could have written it.

Me too. We put Morton on Goodes for a day which was a learning exercise above all else. I reckon Scully could have learned a thing or two if he'd been on Harvey for the full game, not just half of it.

.do we know who the author is, can't find him on any of the MFC staff lists?

Probably a writer from afl.com.au. That's where this first bobbed up (to my knowledge). They're doing it for all the bottom 8 sides at the moment.

Yes, Luke Holmes is a writer for the AFL. Google is a wonderful friend :rolleyes:

Good point however I think they played Scully in the role they want him in - line breaking midfielder.

I think Jones is a good tagger (could use extra pace) who was battling well with Harvey before injury.

Interesting both Gerard Healy & James Hird called for Watts to be played as a tall ruck rover... IMO I think we should keep him deep in the forward line.

I would have said Davey was playing in the midfield for most of the year.

As for Hall, Warnock absolutely spanked him. I think Hall got 11 disposals, 1 mark and 1 point for the game.

I thought it was well written and like most fairly accurate overall.

Not bad for an outsiders perspective.

Frawley was on Hall.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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. 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
