Our best player was a VFLer who has been overlooked for a number of years. Says it all.

Some where seriously underestimate the value of some efforts and stamp the title 'awful' on a game far too easily. I was at the game, and actually enjoyed the first half when we had targets up forward, it killed me we couldn't take marks, but still, I could see what Neeld was doing. Clark was a good target, but like a couple have said, was often outnumbered, especially later in the game when Howe seemed to dissapear a bit more. Martin made a good target on the wing and took a couple of decent contested marks too. I think later in the game as the forward half became barer, as numbers went up to stop the leakage, the rot multiplied and our midfielders just didn't have it in them to get it past 3 defenders to often, a lone Clark in the 50.

point being, Don't beat on Clark, he didn't have delivery or support.

No position for Green anymore, Davey only showed flashes of something, Watts needs to relearn how to tackle, put Blease forward and tell him to lock the footy in there, and could someone please win a clearance?

Amassed quite a few hit-outs and took a few contested marks.

Not a lot, but enough to be respected by some.

did one hitout goto a teammate's advantage?

dropping the ball at your feet is ineffective and predictable

very average performance

No truer statement has been made in the last 24 hours

Only an idiot would accuse Clark of having a bad game. I challenge anyone to try and do well when the ball is being bombed into the forward line in hope, like it was today. Delivery was shocking all day.

It's one thing to have a gameplan that is as predictable as it is boring, it's another thing to be woeful in clearances, the main element that the game plan relies on.

Couldn't agree more. Buddy would've struggled with the disgusting delivery coming in, not to mention the crowded forward 50 how the hell was he ment to get a good run and jump at it?

Not a good game, but overpaid and underperformed? Awful?

Agreed.

But I don't think he was in our worst 16.

I'd be happy if Watts became a gun anything. Anything.

Our midfield is so mediocre that you'd take 5 of Collingwood's midfielders before a single 1 of ours. 5!

I don't know why this surprises you...

I would have said the same thing last week.

The best teams would have the same number of mids ahead of ours.

    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.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
