The Ugly

The desicion in the 2nd quarter against Trengove for sheparding. Players are entitled to utilise thier bodies when they are in a superior position to protect the drop zone of the ball. ESPECIALLY when that player had a ligitimate play at the ball until infringed against. Disgusting and should not be accepted at AFL level.

Good:

Trengove

Watts

McKenzie

Bad:

Blind kicks forward

Handballs to opponents

Not even trying to win the ball at ground level

Our tall defenders being outmarked by midfielders

Not bringing Warnock into the side to sit on Hall again

Ugly:

The Umpires

Sam Blease's effort

Mindless player bashing on this forum.

Are these points not contradictory? Your one ugly point is to target the performance of a first game sub who came on when the game is over WTF?

I know exactly what that looks like, but as I have just posted in the Sam Blease thread, he made a truly abysmal effort that resulted directly in a shot on goal. For a fresh player who is supposed to be fast, being burned off and failing to chase his man who ran the length of the ground to take an uncontested mark in the 50 was a terrible effort and deserved to be noted as such.

I'll add a point to the Ugly incidentally:

The drunk yobbo Melbourne supporter sitting near me who hurled a constant stream of abuse at LJ. We don't need people like that following the team.

Gotta be a new record. A first gamer is on for a quarter and a bit - of his first game, just to emphasise the point - and he gets carpeted by a 'supporter' of the club. Superb effort that.

Care to address the actual point raised?

THE UGLY : Bennell and Morton's soft exploits in the Demon jumper. I have never seen softer at the club. I hate publicly slamming players and don't make a habit of it, but these guys leave us 2 short on field and the selection of them is sending a cancerous message to the playing group that not going hard enough will remain unpunished.

I would like to see every soft, short-stepped, half-hearted, one-handed and shirked contest tallied at the end of each game for these 2 guys.

The resultant number should then be the exact amount of blindfolded shirt-fronts received from Beamer at training in front of the playing group.

Any turning, bracing or cowering on Beamers approach shall result in another.

At least the message would read that "you will pay the price for the honour of wearing the Demon jumper, so bloody well pay it on the field!"

This.

People will say Morton is the 'whipping boy' - that is such [censored]. Morons, that believe every single top pick we've got will come good, call him the whipping boy. Lukewarm efforts, week in, week out. I can't believe he gets a game. Bring back Evans and Tapscott, ASAP.

Bennell - I can't stand watching this guy go up for 10 aerial contests every week and fail to influence any of them. He even jumps for uncontested marks and fluffs it sometimes. A rare talent for being horrible overhead.

    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

    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.
