Getting sore eyes looking for Joeboy's 3 word summing up of our team. It is usually spot on IMO. Hope you haven't forsaken us Joeboy.

After being censored and censured by Rhino Richards for the reprehensible act of referring to The Cats as inbreds after last week's game , I've spat the dummy and taken an extended break

Make a comeback soon! Your assessments add a bit of sanity to this forum.

Comeback soon Joeboy - Also look forward to your takes every week.

While RR had a valid point I'm sure its the way he went about communicating "the problem" that now is "the problem.'

Hope to see you out of retirement soon.

Hey, Joeboy.... come back!!!!~

Don't let the views of one oversensitive pedant deprive the rest of us of your entertaining and thought-provoking thread.

I've always admired your preparedness to put your opinions out on a limb, to be shot down.

I had a go myself on paper last night(after a few wines!), to see how they compared to yours,....but there was nothing to compare it to.

Here goes my amateurish attempt from last night!

Jones ....... never gave up

Bartram....couldn't stop onslaught

Watts .... our best player

Gysberts ....tried very hard

Bate... opportunity not taken

Frawley ..... born back flanker

Trengove .... four quarter effort

MacKenzie ... Judd too good

Dunn.... good first quarter

Petterd..... no good today

Green .... much on mind

Garland ..... effective against odds

Moloney ...... ineffective without supply

Rivers ..... beaten too often

MacDonald ....a courageous trier

Scully .... ? worth 600 grand

Martin ..... Warnock too tall

Tapscott ..... Physical till pole-axed.

Howe....flashes of promise

Davey....needed the run

Gawn....showed some promise

Strauss...wish you well

I know I'm not critical enough.....but I still admire our boys! Gulp!!!

Good for you for having a go Jumping Jack. I was going to have a go too but it was too difficult. Maybe I needed a few wines first.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    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
