Were you there or from the limited TV screen? Did you know what the conditions were really like? Did you know what the game plan was? Did you know the instructions from the coaching panel to each player? Your effort is commendable as a knee jerk TV reaction, but meaningless in the modern game.

I didn't need to be at the ground to see ' what the conditions were like ' , and I doubt ' the game plan ' constituted Morton constantly fumbling the ball or Gysberts regularly turning it over , whilst the 'coaching panel 'probably didn't instruct Watts to fail to handle the conditions well, or , for that matter , Martin ,Sylvia and Frawley to have crackers of a game.

I just write them as I see them !

I'm a little amazed by the comments on Garland. I thought Garland had a very bad defensive game. Like his game against the bulldogs he doesn't man up, the G'banger smashed him because Garland zoned off him and I thought on Saturday night the same.

Joeboy - subjective limited analysis

Other posters in his thread - limited overreactive corrections

This practice - pointless Land tradition

rpfc - needless reflective commentary

Strauss - Gone For Bartram

I thought Strauss, though beaten by his opponent, was committed and put his body on the line several times.

I would rather develop Strauss than have the heart-in-your-mouth errant kicking of Bartram out of the backline.

Trengove - our future Captain

Watts - our future vice Captain

Petterd, Sylvia and Martin were absolutely sensational last night, as was Frawley.

I thought Maric was very lively too - a really good game from him.

I agree with this assessment. I have been prepared to perservere with Morton but I thought he did very poorly and has had a good go - back to Casey please.

Strauss - Gone For Bartram

This is my pet hate with some posters.

The kid has beaten his opponent every week but this one, and his first down game and he's expected to be dropped for a 28year old going nowhere.

He's played 6 games, a down game was coming and just like Trengove and Scully did last year, he was beaten by his opponent.

Just because he wasn't pick 1 or 2 doesn't mean one down game requires a dropping. We're building for the future remember...

Thought Jordie McKenzie deserved higher praise in the 'three word analysis' for his job on Boak. Kept him to 15 possessions including just three in the second half. A great effort considering Boak polled three Brownlow votes in the same match last year.

Completely agree. I actually thought Boak had been injured pre-match such was his lack of impact on the game.

Boak is probably trying to work out how Jordie managed to sit next to him on the plane ride home....

- Bartram is 23. As much a part of the future as Jones, Frawley, Garland, Petterd, Sylvia et all.

- Strauss hasn't played an 'up' game this year. I wouldn't say that he has beaten his opponent every week so far. Re-watch the Dogs match, see him get thoroughly beaten.

I thought Strauss, though beaten by his opponent, was committed and put his body on the line several times.

I would rather develop Strauss than have the heart-in-your-mouth errant kicking of Bartram out of the backline.

- At this stage of the year, I would rather win a match than develop Strauss. Bartram fulfils your commitment and body on the line requirements, and IMO would do a better shut down role on Rioli than Strauss.

And the point of my comment was, I see him being replaced this week. Not 'the kids terrible, drop him' but 'Darwin will take it's toll on him, Bartram is a better in for next week'.

    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

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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
