Apologies to Bail and Nicholson, who work so very hard but had but too many missed targets.

To everyone feting Grimes but lambasting Bail and Nicho for their ball use, Grimes butchered the ball as much as Bail (24 disposals at 58 per cent efficiency) and less so than Nicho (22 disposals at 68 per cent efficiency)

I agree that they all used the ball quite badly. However, I can't say that they were bad. All of them gave us some much-needed competitiveness and won their one-on-ones. These guys are the ones who are desperate for a chance to prove they can play and to get on Neelds good side. They fight for every ball, and that is worth more to us right now than 80%+ efficiency.

No argument from me there Ralphius - I was happy with Bail and Nicho yesterday and reckon they'll come along just fine.

And I'm not unhappy with Grimes - just frustrated because it was also evident in the games he played before getting injured last year. Hopefully he'll find better touch as he gets more games under his belt.

Bail ,Nicholson ,Tapscott and even Dunn(yes Dunn) had reasonably good games.

Garland was down ,JT ,Bennell likewise .

Blease ,Bail and Nicho have speed which we lack.

Jamars game was an improvement on this years form .

Stoppages/Clearances were abysmal overall .

Grimes was a bit erratic but is improving.

6/- Rivers - Did a lot of good things in spite of being towered over

5/- Jones - Another really solid effort

4/- McDonald - Strong, fit and turned the ball over less

3/- Blease - Lots of effective bursts spoilt a little by poor licking for goal

2/- Watts - Always thinking, always looking for smart ways to get the ball and smart things to do with the ball

1/- McKenzie - Good job on Judd

Also thought that Grimes, though not brilliant, played a good, brave Captain's game

We're back on the 'improving' curve which is a relief. Thought we spread really well on occasion.

Agree with everything you've said (even about Dunn) except the line about Jamar. I thought he'd played quite well in some earlier games. But I didn't see anything in his game on Sunday which was in any way meritorious. Where did you think he'd improved?

    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.

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.

    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)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
