i thought jmac was a bit of a negative, so many cheap free kicks, resulting in goals, turnovers in the back 50 and not enough defensive pressure

Positive: NO INJURIES

Bingo...

And gOLLy... Jones was listed as our best player in all reports I have seen. He's hard at it and I suspect he lived up to that this weekend.

Spencer as a positive??? He must have had 2 of the best touches ever seen!

Oh and careful what you say about Steffi Martin, mate!! He's my hopeful SuperCoach pickup of the year!! :)

Positives: Jetta, Maric, Tapscott's right foot, Howe's hanger and Petterd.

Negatives: No one in the forward line too often, Bate, Watts not going hard enough, lack of quality second ruck options (Martin is ahead of Spencer), inability to tackle and too much hand passing to stationary players.

They were very soft free kicks. Ump should have just kicked for them. Had real mongrel and had a dip against his old side. His hit on Black (i think) was a ripper.

While Spence was on the ground didn't see him lose one ruck contest. His effort backing back into the pack front on was a real sight to behold. Pure guts for a praccy match.

Yes tackleing was a negative and too flat footedness <-----new word ?

It was a great Sunny day to catchup with freinds, and have a good discussion on footy, & some fun...

It didn't rain, and we got through pretty well without losing any Key personnel. Frawley will be back soon enough, and we look pretty healthy.

Some of our boys that have had limited preseasons, got a run around. Good to see Gysberts on the park. Good to see Tappy showing some goood stuff.

And how good is it to see both, Nifty Nev Jetta, and Maric Magic, in career best form.

Positive: NO INJURIES

Rememeber this time last year: Jurrah out for 16 weeks?

Count our blessings - we had a seconds team in. Those not in didn't need to show anything to the coach IMO

Positives:

Not much can be gained from Saturday, if much at all.

The Hawks game will be a pointer towards having further concerns.

Just cannot judge from Saturday.

Geelong lost to Port by nearly 15 goals....what does that mean? Probably the same as the tripe at Royal Pde that was dished up, nothing much.

We play Lions in Round 3 - only 6 weeks away and if the same eventuates, PANIC!

Had literally half a side in so I won't be taking anything from this game.

He was rubbish, he butchered it almost every time he got it in his hands

    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

    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.
