Sloppy footy but at least we're leading. Our disposal still worries me as does these players input.

Davey 6 - Looks lost, some shocker handballs

Magner 7 - Reminds me of an old Jones, butchers it, looks tired.

Trengove 8 - Need more from him, slow.

Moloney 9 - No influence, need more from our no.1 mid.

Not good enough.

Very pleased with Tom McDonald today.

Howe good was Dunns kick out from fullback in the first Q.....Bloody hell it landed next to the center circle!

Posted

Geez, we've got some, a lot, of improving to do in all areas, but our kicking skills and decision making really need a lot of work, real happy to be beating this orange band of krisnas

Tom Mac's kicking is atrocious.

Magner looks horrible.

Sylvia, Clark, Mckenzie, Jones, Sellar, Dunn etc have been good.

Am i alone in thinking Daveys done ok. A few times he just needed to go himself rather than a silly handball ( that are invariably to slick for receiver) otherwise his vision and setups have been very good

Beamer looks 40.

If I read this thread without knowing the score I'd think we were losing. I certainly wouldn't think we were 5 goals up.

No, you're not alone in that thought at all... he has done a few good things today. What we see on this forum is generally a Pavlovian form of conditioned response to anything players like Davey, Morton, MacDonald, etc do.

McDonald improves each week.

Half time feature on jones terrific.

Any news on Mitch?

Don't know how you can say this about Davey. He's been very quiet. He can still hit up a pass which is good but just can't get into the pace of the game. You can't see that?

Theres promise out there....just not a lot of polish !!!

Posted

I'm at the game and had a quick look here at half time. The Game Day thread certainly attracts some ... interesting views.

Makes me happy to know that these threads are usually closed by the time I get home.

I hope we play Sellar on Merrett next week, and even let him spend some time on Brown. He keeps solidifying his place down back and i can imagine taking a big scalp will make him get even better (confidence player).

I have actually seen him give off the ball a few times to good effect (a couple of times not so)... maybe we are both missing something?

Tom McDonald's kicking is a liability. Guy competes his butt off, but he butchers simple kicks far too frequently

Yeah, at this stage. But he's only 19 or so, and this will get better. Loving his push 'n shove attitude aggresive with Patton.

Clark didn't run out after half time.

Looks like a hefty knee to the top o his head he was either concussed or potential neck soreness. Hope he's back quick smart

there's ol Dazzle

    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
