The Good

Jones. Again.

The crowd booing Scully. And thanks guys who were brave enough to bring banners. Well done.

Our short kicking/passing.

Dunn's torpedo from full back.

A new, developing defensive back six including Frawley, Watts, McDonald, Sellar, Dunn who all played through there and it looked strong

Rivers and Garland forward

The crowd booing Scully

Clark's attack on the ball.

Nicholson. I have had a number of goes at him this year for his disposal but he is quickly proving me wrong.

Watts contested marking.

Grimes' run and carry. And his kicking is improving.

Did I mention the crowd booing Scully?

The Bad

Jones' two brain-fades in the first quarter.

That first oh-so-easy goal to GWS.

Some of Tom McDonald's fumbling.

Allowing GWS midfielders to sprint away from stoppages in the 1st quarter.

Clark injured again.

The Ugly

The crowd. Although I did not expect any more than 20,000

Seeing Junior in a GWS jumper. This remains a real sore point for me.

Ugly: Four of their five first quarter goals came directly from our poor skills. If we hadn't made those crappy turnovers for no apparent reason it would have been a truly spectacular mauling.

Im Tom McDonald biggest critic, but the kid tore it up today.

He adds A LOT of run, looks a real player, dominated Cameron to the point where

Sheedy had to throw him down back to stop the flow.

Good: Jones, Clark, Jamar, defenders kicking goals, Sylvia bursting through packs. Davey looking better. Blease's goal. Watts. Dunny's torp. Sellar. JT's last quarter mark.

Bad: Magner's first half. Tom Mc Donald's disposal, Clark's injury, Brent Moloney.

Ugly: $cully family.

Good: The watts mark from opposition kick, then the break away run down the wing, then the pinpoint pass to Trengove......just great!! He's going to be a really good player.....

Bad: The Mitch Clark injury... And GWS...

Ugly: The AFL.... For there response to banners from Demon fans.......

What I liked was when a player contributed to a goal, a load of players came over for congrats, even if the goal was a couple of moves on, great team spirit shown today been missing earlier

The Good

The fact that we smashed them after that slow start

A certain ex-player may well thank God that he got money because he got a taste of how far away success is for him

The Bad

Mitch the Incredible's early exit... Was Buddy like early on

The Ugly

Our obvious instruction to play on at all costs through the middle... Sometimes you are better off to settle and lift your eyes

Good:

Dunny was surprisingly good across the whole game today. Watching him closely in one-out marking contests, he is veeery clever with his body position. Might have promoted himself off the sub bench for a few games.

Clarky - superb before the injury.

Wattsy, Jonesy, Riv, T.Macca, Nicho.

Scoring 7 goals from former defenders - Rivers and Garlo.

Bad:

Moloney today.

Ugly:

The Hare Krisha gits in the GWS squad. Must be paid handsomely by Vlad to wear that kind of crap.

And Sheedy - the main reason I replied to this thread in the first place, then forgot to include the Master P_ick in the first reply.A real ugly moron.

We get plenty of holding the ball calls - against us.

Good

The goal by Blease on his left foot on the run on the boundary line.

Run from Tom McD out of defence.

Having Rivers, Clarke, Garland and Howe as marking options forward.

Bad

Missed marks and targets from Grimes

Ugly

Dominance from Russian with takeways by GWS?

Sylvia running into goal not spotting up Davey and missing his shot.

But wasn't it a great tackle?!

He's a fearless little goer the little fella, can't wait for him to have Viney pumping handballs to him for the next decade.

And he is refreshingly arrogant with what he tries to do on the field.

Why has more not been made of this? That goal was an absolute screamer!

Because he didn't mean to do it, and from the sheepish look on his face I think similar decisions to go for goal have landed him in hot water in recent games...

Still an ace goal.

One commentator reckoned he was trying to centre the kick.........as a 1 eyed Dee fan I reckon he kicked for goal.

Fair call - I obviously wasn't watching that closely. I thought he was in space and had a ping. Hahaha - I'd be saying 'meant it'

And when Magner outbodied whoever it was and was waltzing in to goal, pinged for in the back.

Blatantly wrong.

The turnover rate seemed a bit lower yesterday. No Cales fails.

The Good

We won a game we should have won

The Bad

First 15mins of the game, we were woeful.

The Ugly

Brent Moloney, what is going on with you, I had you pencilled in for 3 Brownlow votes in this game but you were close to our worst on ground

    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
