Not gonna go too in depth atm cause I'm enjoying this game too much, but some players who have fairly copped some criticism recently deserve some praise. Green, NevJet, Morton, Rivers, Bennell, Jurrah, Martin and Jones. I wanted to write this now, because I think regardless of the result from here, they still deserve the praise

And to add to my OP, it is amazing how much difference Sculls and Trenners actually do make.

You're preaching to the long converted here hardtack. I am just SO happy to finally see them playing like this. And on my birthday to boot, makes it all the sweeter!

Happy birthday.... 5 goals lead going into the last; it's theirs for the taking if they want it bad enough.

And I'm talking all credit as I tipped the Bummers to win knowing that would play in our favour :-)

where's sylvia?

You've not been watching the game? He was subbed off with a badly corked thigh.

Haha, thanks mate. I won platinum dining passes with the NSW Demons player sponsorship, and had a choice of this week, or next. Almost wishing I had gone for this week now, would have been great. Although with the way our new kids have stood up, we might have a good dip next week.

We haven't won yet.

You are right, but the whole point of the thread, if you read it, is that regardless of the result the boys deserve some cred for the way they have gone about it.

What I am liking is that you can see the deep respect that Bailey has for those players and the feeling is so obviously reciprocated.

You're right. I've never seen that before, because for some reason Bailey has tried to hide it. It is really good to see, and great to see him reacting with passion to what was a great win.

Can we finally get it that Bailey is a development coach of a young side, he has their respect and he has a plan

30 tackles between McKenzie, Scully, Trengove and Gysberts. I like our future midfield.

Yup, was great to watch.

I too have been critical but Jones lifted a gear tonight...Hope it continues. Well done Jonsey

I've been praising him all season, but even I was surprised to hear tonight that he has been averaging something like 28 disposals over the past few weeks.

    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.
