Slowest player I've ever seen. When running he looks like he's wading through Port Phillip Bay with seaweed caught around his legs. Being slow in itself, while not desirable, would be OK if he compensated with deft tap work or strong contested marks. But he doesn't seem to have those skills, either.

Yeah all true - i wonder how long he will draw defenders because he doesnt look like he can do anything other than stand at this stage. He did do a few decent taps.

He seems to have some hunger - I've seen a few optimistic chases and uses his body well but as has been said, just way to slow. Crashes the packs well, wouldn't mind a mark now and then though!

If he could mark he'd be a good player. As it is he's a less athletic Stefan Martin that wins less of the ball.

Was pretty good tonight, loved that Neeld had the balls to do what we've all wanted for 3 years, put Garland forward, and credit to Sellar for doing his job to make it work.

Sellar was very good, and tonight he showed he can kick and run. I have to admit being very surprised but he definitely earned his place tonight.

Needs another good one next week.

Perspective says he's had one good match for the season so far.

Here's hoping he gains confidence and cements a spot in the side. Big body and has some talent.

And wasn't it great to see the joy and passion on Clarks face when the siren went! Only been in the club for a short time but wants us to win desperately. Copped a heavy knock in lower back early in the match.

Clark looked like we had just won a flag, he seems rapt to be at Melbourne.

Certainly will need another one like tonight next week with the gorilla Cloke. Fitted into the defence very well.

Poor Blease can't take a trick - did anyone see if it was a kick?

If Frawley is back it will allow Garland Another hit up forward vs the Filth.

Good coaching and selection.

Said it before, but he spent all pre-season playing back and looked ok and then as soon as the real stuff starts he goes forward, looked completely lost and was just generally not up to it. Goes back tonight and plays a pearler.

Actually has a lot of good traits as a defender who can play on the resting ruckmen or gorilla forwards. Will watch with interest over the next few weeks, and hopefully he stays back.

Why wasn't Sellar in the middle of the song with Clark and Magner? New boys first win I would have thought?

Yep hes a back, not a forward and gives us options with Garland

Would still like to see Tom Mac get the job on Cloke though

He was far better as a defender than i've seen as a forward/ruck. He could hardly get a touch in that role and he got 18 possessions tonight and kept Ryder out of the game completely

Gotta say he wasn't bad, not great but certainly not bad. Fingers crossed Frawley in for old Macdonald then next week.

Nevertheless, Old MacDonald wasn't bad tonight was he?

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
