Thought Blease's game was very promising also.

Some of the following are lucky to get votes from me because they all made multiple disposal errors. Sadly however, many of their team-mates were even worse with ball in hand. It's just sole destroying for team morale and supporters alike.

6- Howe (sensational)

5- Jones (killed himself time and time again. Shite user of the ball)

4- Frawley (kept Kennedy quiet and got involved. Needed to uppercut himself for some of his disposal decisions)

3- McDonald (great defensive game, but needs to stop trying to be superman)

2- Petterd (OK)

1- Garland (OK)

Anyone that gives Jones votes is kidding themselves. Cost us at least 4 goals to West Coast with turn overs and 2 goals to us by missing easy targets. Yes people will say he gives his all but if we continue to accept medocrity in disposal like him and Bartram then we will get nowhere.

I see your point, but lets be honest, he was on many occasions the only guy going in head first, without a single mate to help him. His disposals were rushed under enormous pressure and yes, they were average, but at least he was out there busting his balls, which is the only thing I actually want to see right now given the season is shot to [censored].

I'm not a big Jones fan and I think (hope) many others will pass him, but it was damn near embarrassing seeing him throw himself head first at contests while guys like Davey stood on the outside waiting for the easy handpass. Totally unacceptable, and he must feel cheated by his mates.

Davey and Sylvia aside the application today was good. We were beaten by a more mature, better drilled and better skilled outfit. I am sick of applauding players that bust their balls but make amateur skill and decision errors. Bartram and Jones are poor and whilst they are in our starting 18 we will be going nowhere.

We've replaced Ward and Godfrey with Jones and Bartram and you're right as long as they are in our starting 22 then we are going nowhere.

Jones has got plenty of heart but so did Godfrey and he was eventually delisted as he just wasn't up to it, unfortunately it was about 100 games too late. We hang on to players at Melbourne if they show a bit of grit and toughness as we're not used to seeing it it.

We generally like em soft and skinny something we can work on.

To be fair, Jones and Bartram (in my view) are each better than Ward and Godfrey respectively. Having said that, neither is particularly good. Great endeavour, poor skill execution.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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

    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
