6 Jones, who is far and away our best player, perhaps outside of Clark

5 Sylvia, who only needs a hypnotist to tell him he's playing Richmond every week

4 Blease, who is going to be an absolute jet

3 Nicholson, whose kicking can really let him down

2 Jordie McKenzie, who I hope is going to be okay after his big knock

1 Spencer, who uses his big body better than Jamar does around the ground.

Colin Sylvia has actually been very good since the bye, but don't expect a lot of posters on here to admit it.

He certainly has.

6- Jones

wow this is hard this week

5- Sylvia

4- Nicholson

3- Martin

2- Howe - if he could kick he would get a hell of a lot more votes

Seriously, how are people putting Martin in their votes? Is it a plot to somehow increase his trade value? We sucked every time he went into the ruck.... To be fair to him, we were awful all day....

Haven't seen the game, but the stats say he was one of our best.

6 Jones

5 Nicho with an unusual 83% DE

4 Dunn

3 Watts even with 3 clangers still had 82%DE and made good decisions

2 Martin

1 Spencer

Sylvia's opponent had 10 more disposals than him; his DE was 52% - just not good enough with his talent!

6.........

5. Jones (The crude agricultural up-country hacks/kicks when he tries for distance are a real blot on his game. Stuff you only see in park footy. )

4. Trengove

3. Sylvia (The absurd attempted kick off the grounds are just stupid; 2 missed, 1 2 cost a goal.)

2. Nicholson

1. McKenzie

Ed: the tiges first goal came after a Sylvia kick off the ground

What happened to Magner? Injured? Presumably subbed out - 13 DT points.

6. Jones - heart of a lion. Runs & gets the hard ball

5. Sylvia - the class is apparent. Can be damaging. does not stagnate with the footy.

4. McKenzie - like Blundstone boots. Not flashy, but tough, reliable and gets the job done.

3. Dunn - liked his grit, good kicking (long and strong) and was unlucky in several "free kick" incidents.

2. Frawley... sure Riewoldy kicked 1.5 but goal was from a soft free kick and Frawley marked him all day

1. Nicholson ...loved his run, pace and competitive spirit. This kid can play. Maybe a role on the wing and not Half back next week.

Subbed out after having less than 5 disposals in 2 and a half quarters and absolutely shanking a set shot for goal.

6- Jones: Not as good as he usually is, but far and away better than anybody else on the team.

5- (Now I'm struggling) Sylvia: Seems to be working harder than he did in the first half of the season.

4- Watts: I'm a huge Watts fan, but his disposal did let him down at times. That being said, he is the person who's hands you want it in when the ball is in our back half. I also loved seeing him go in really hard and thought he was harshly pinged for holding the ball.

3- Spencer: Much better than Martin was in the ruck. A promising performance against a likely AA Ruckman.

2- Howe: Can someone please teach him how to kick?

1- Nicholson: (See Howe)

He often played on Shane "Titch" (178cms) Edwards. He was outmarked 2-3 times by Edwards. Edwards setup a few more goals. Watts turned it over 3-4 times & often went with a 15 metre sideways pass. Dunn was much more effective in his getting the ball outside our defensive 50. Watts kickouts were "agonising". He did 4-5 good marks & competitive efforts today but a back sweeper on a small fwd. Please. Maybe a real test for the No.1 is getting it inside our fwd 50.

footnote: Compare to Deledio. Deledio is quick, dangerous and wins the footy to create and kick goals.

watts was clearly hampered by a leg injury today. was looking to get off for the last 5 minutes of the first half but couldn't because the ball was in our defence so much. he will make mistakes at times, because our players don't work hard enough to get into space, and he has to try and manufacture something. needs to tighten up at times, got led to the ball a bit today, but he definitely wasn't running like normal after half time.

"footnote: Compare to Deledio. Deledio is quick, dangerous and wins the footy to create and kick goals. "

Watts had a bad game. But to compare Deledio to Watts? Deledio is a 10 year player, lifetime member of the club, he's at his peak. Watts is just starting out, don't like the comparison.

6: Jones

5: Sylvia

4: Watts - sorry to you detractors but we (my friends and I- one of whome is a former MFC player) thought he was good.

3: Nicholson

2: Martin

1: Frawley

And a special mention to Spencer.

    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.

    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)
