1. green - Farewell champ.

What game were you watching?! Spencer was possibly the worst on the ground! He was totally uncompetitive in the ruck and a hack around the ground. Sam Jacobs pulverised him all day.

I'm being mean here, but that's the worst decision to award votes I've ever seen on this website.

Being at the game and not watching on TV might result in differing opinions but my votes would be:

6- Sylvia- Clearly the best in a team getting smashed

5- Jones- Is an absolute workhorse

4- Howe- the only marking target we had all day

3- Sellar- given he played a bit of everywhere i thought he performed most roles well but for one horrible shot at goal

2- Blease- the only bloke who looks remotely dangerous in the forward line

1- Tapscott- a lot of hard efforts and strong marks today

And the 5 votes from red and blue forever were a typo.

Was almost considering just giving Green 21 votes and letting the farce end, however, upon reflection....

6. Sylvia - stood up against a good team for a change.

5. Jones - absolute hard nut. Just doesn't give up.

4. Sellar - would've had the 6 if he could kick.

3. Howe - give this man a preseason and he could be anything, providing he hasn't killed himself flying to take a grab.

2. McKenzie - niggler. Love the way he goes about it.

1. Bail - just for starting a few fights.

the fact there are plenty of votes for Blease illsutrates how shizen we are. FCS he has a shot at goal every time he touches the ball, which is rarely, and he misses all of them

6. Sylvia - NOW get out his back, Col is vital for 2013 and beyond.

5. Jones - my 6-yr old son loves Jonesy grunt and desire for the footy.

4. Sellar - a good #53 draft pick. Versatile as a key fwd or back

3. Howe - puts a smile on my face. Great mark and agile. A big pres season and watch out.

2. Grimes - got better over the last few weeks. Now lets see a full season and an ability to run the loines again.

1. Dunn - has found a spot in defence. Now a versatile option in our list.

minus 6 : Spencer. 9% hitouts to advantage, that's 2 out of 21. In fact, half his taps went direct to the Crows midfield.

Jacobs was in their best 5. We lost the centre square and clearances.

You have a very short memory, Col Sylvia's best games for the club have been against Collingwood and Hawthorn and he always plays well against these two clubs. You watch every game, the games he plays well are the games he spends most his time in the midfield, hopefully he gets a full pre-season no injuries through the year.

I'm surprised with Dunn getting votes. I thought he looked good in the first quarter but really struggled when the pressure was on (and in defense of the backmen, it was really on big time after half way through the second quarter). He seemed lost and unaccountable to me and had some poor disposals. I admit I've never been a Dunn fan but while he was not the worst yesterday, I didn't think he was in the top 15.

These would have been my votes if I had arrived home before the cutoff:

6. Sylvia: building a bit of consistency late in the season

5. Jones: worked his butt off, as usual

4. Howe: becoming more than just a highlights reel

3. Sellar: a solid target up forward

2. Grimes: another sound performance

1. Tapscott: perhaps the best of the rest

Curry n Beer, you have failed to see development in Blease. That was his best game for the club to date because he played well in the second half... running the game out. He had more involvements than in any game to date (not just a flashy goal here and there). There were also numerous occasions when he put himself in good position to receive and go but team mates chose to ignore him. Yes, he blazed away on a few occasions bu tso does Milne. The development in Blease has been a highlight of the final month of the season... you just can't see it. Stick around!

    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.
