6. Moloney...great game again, and with Jonesy, massive work rate.

5. Jones....along with Beamer, positioned us to get back in, and then win the game.

4. Martin...hugely satisfying consolidation of his coming of age...love his work.

3. Jamar...good rucking and good around the ground...taps occasionally too predictable.

2. Rivers...faultless and inspiring, but against a lesser forward line.

1. Jurrah...still wondering what he might do when he REALLY finds his mojo!

6. Gysberts. This guy impresses the absolute hell out of me and I'm giving him a biased best on. Everything he does, in the 4 games he's played has an impact. He's a favourite already.

6 -Jamar - His work when the ball hits the ground sets him above any other big man in the comp

5 - Moloney - Tough old school footballer revelled in the wet conditions

4 - Jones - Like Moloney, conditions suited him. Stepped up when the game was there to be won and delivery into the forward line was fantastic

3 - Jurrah - Best on ground before he copped one high. Was the focus of the whole Lions team for most of the game. The target we have been lacking. Best game for the Dees.

2 - Bail - Good job on Black who had little influence on the result, and had some great touches himself.

1- Wonaeamirri - Hard tackling and great passing kept Melbourne in the game in the first half. Much quicker in a straight line than I remember

Others

Gysberts - Next in line for me. Worked hard at the clearances and gave a second option to Moloney. Looks to be a player.

Rivers - Good game, took some solid marks. Playing the easiest position on the ground, unaccountable loose man in defence against a poor forward line, so not in the votes from me.

Fair enough, and i'm not usually one to question other peoples votes. But what about the numerous occasions today where he saved our bacon by getting a fist on some crucial spoils in one-on-one situations, on the very last line of defence? Saved at least 3 or 4 goals in the 2nd half directly from spoils/marks in the defence line after a Melbourne turnover(s) in the middle.

6 - Rivers. Started poorly but was great at taking defensive marks on whoever was the target. Should never be allowed to be isolated, and we should focus our entire game around having him playing loose.

5 - Moloney. Excellent clearance work. Easily our best player, when it comes to taking advantage of one of our only real strengths - our ruck division.

4 - Jurrah. Hopefully showed himself what he's capable of WHEN HE TRIES. He's not God, and I hope he realises that.

3- Jamar. Could have absolutely broken the game open if he'd kicked at goal accurately. Around the ground and in the ruck, there's very few better than him in the entire AFL.

2 - Jones. Answered his critics in the third quarter, but one good quarter out of 12 is not enough.

1 - Martin. Has finally adapted to the spot we need him to play in. the Jamar-Martin combo is going to be very good in the coming years. I wonder what we'll do when Max Gawn comes on.

Martin will play key position either CHF or CHB. those three will be very powerful. Or as the Russian get older he could play a very effective power forward. Needs to practice his kicking for goal though. Interestingly I was watching him practicing his goal kicking from the 50m arc before the game and did not see him miss once out of a out ten tries, but missed two sitters in successive games. Hopefully practice will make perfect...

    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.

    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
