I thought Strauss was really good today. I don't think I saw him beaten 1-1, which is a big improvement, and he butchered 1 kick for the day. Also got a lot of the ball. Watts drops behind him because he butchered quite a few kicks trying to be more creative than he needed to. Sylvia obviously was our only attacking threat. Morton smashed Shaw for most of the match and gave us run out of the back half. Howe and Gawn both gave us something, Howe constantly presenting and once again taking good marks, and Gawn holding up the ruck when we were being thrashed everywhere else.

5. Morton - better game, still has to work on defensive side of game but getting there.

4. Watts - Effort and gut running, which is slowly getting rewarded, should of had a crack when he was 50 out on the puntroad foward flank, game was over, had a chance to show what he has got, instead missed a chip pass to leading target.

3. Scully - 29 touches, are touches none the less

2. Bennell - did solid job on krakour, krak got some cheap ones late

1. Gawn - Competed well, did a couple of good 2nd efforts on the ground, 23 hitouts, a solid game

Jones would get a vote for effort but he killed us with some really poor decision-making which halted our momentum on a number of occasions.

6 Sylvia - Practically kicked our entire score

5 Morton - Beat Shaw who I rate unbelievably highly. His hardness is something he has to work on, but he played well today.

4 Watts - Kicking is brilliant verging on shocking - but that's usually not his fault.

3 Moloney - One of the only men in a team full of boys.

2 Howe - Lively forward and a hard worker (unlike some of our other lively forwards).

1 McKenzie - Effort personified.

Our young midfield let us down badly today. Don't blame Rivers for balls being put to Cloke's advantage time after time.

Just arrived home, tired, cranky and fairly emotional.

6. Sylvia

5. Moloney (thought he was the only player in the midfield to show any resistance at all, put his body on the line, and make reasonably sound decisions under immense pressure.)

4. Frawley (for his job on Cloke after he tore Rivers a new one.)

After those three, i'm having real difficulty... Ummm...

3. Howe

2. Gawn

1. Scully

The last 3 are "encouragement votes". Scully in particular, his disposal was atrocious and he was uncharacteristically fumbly with his ball-handling.

Morton did a job on Shaw, but there was a couple of instances, one Leigh Brown mark in particular, where he had to go and just didn't. Not good enough. Hate to take potshots at Jonesy, but god he was ordinary with his decision-making today. Even the kid next to me (wouldn't have been much older than 12) commented on it, he was shuddering everytime Jones went near it.

I walked away from the game with only 2 players who I thought could claim they did their role. Sylvia and Morton

The other four were honest. I thought Martin and Watts could be added to that list. However Watts faded as the game went on.

Bennell had 6 disposals and a couple of tackles. His opponent Krakouer had 15 touches, kicked a couple and set a few others up.

Can someone please explain why he (Bennell) is receiving votes here?

Because of Krakouer's touches, only maybe 5 did anything and Bennell shut Krakouer out of all bar maybe one (that I saw, I know he kicked one at the end that I missed) one-on-one. Body-to-body and leg-speed wise, Bennell was fantastic.

As well as this, Bennell stayed as the small back while Krakouer shifted through the midfield for a time.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
