On the money assessment bar one "Frawley - just a shadow"... Drop the just and yes he was indeed Clokes Shadow. Considering the quality ball coming in from the likes of Side Bottom, Beams and Swans restricting the big man to a couple of goals and one contested mark isn't a bad day at the office.

Frawley was great

Watts is a future umpire. He can run as fast "backwards" as forward (if you get my drift)

Trengove - obviously carrying injuries

Grimes - had a crack

Jones - showing the way

Watts - learning the craft

Frawley - good shutdown role

Morton - some ok things

Clark - serious man crush

Sylvia - at cross roads

Mckenzie - does his job

Dunn - needs more gametime

Blease - shows some brilliance

Green - feel for him

Garland - needed down back

Moloney - release the beast!!!

McDonald - continues decent season

Rivers - forgot to change ends

Seller - has a crack

Tapscott - loved every minute

Howe - needed more help

Jamar - hit out king

Nicholson - showing some signs

Magner - needs a rest

If Green kicks straight he finshes with 3 goals and we're in for a real sniff come 3 qtr time. Shame he didn't take his chances as those were goals he'd ice a couple years back but I thought he did a nice job. Took a couple of marks running back with the flight and presented an option for 3 qs. not our worst.

Whats with the "up and under" passing some do? Green major offender. Are they practising their hang time for a post afl career? It crucifies your team mates !!!

Green's in-play field kicking has been a deficiency since day dot. That jinking wind-up before getting ball to boot. It's only exacerbated now that he's gotten old and he's added 'up and under' to the repertoire.

Great servant Greeny but he is well cooked.

Watts was good and really if he was embarrassed because of pressure at kick outs up field, pie scum are particularly good fir locking down but we certainly got better at it as game wore on. The ole racing form cliche could be used here- was better for the run

I assume you mean Garland not the answer up forward and not about having his spot in the side? I dare say you meant the latter JB

greeny took some great marks, it would have been great to top them off with a goal.

Blease is still working out when he can have a trot and when he needs to give it off.

not sure what happened when he fumbled the bounce, could have been a good inside 50 bomb rather than the mess that came out of it.

Frawls did a great shut down role.

and yeh clark, couldn't be more impressed.

hoping matthews and the like are feeling a little embarressed about their comments "clark is not a quality forward'

bulk man crush!

    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.
