You've got to be ****ing me. He played as a small defender on Zorko, who was left unattended all day and all his goals were unopposed, and offensively, his last name would be more suited as turnover. Mostly good but Terlich is way out of his depth.

Whilst on the topic of out of depth and the 3 word analysis;

Sam Blease sucks.

Bail burnt his team mates on three seperate occasions to have a shot on goal. I like him as a player but he needs to improve his decision making. Not that he's alone in that area.

Trengove - Obviously lacking pace
Grimes - Turnovers ruined it (C'mon, AFL captains don't do that (censored))
N.Jones - Toweled up today (By Raines, of all people...)
Watts - Talent, lacking fitness
Frawley - Second efforts PLEASE!
Byrnes - Good in patches
Sylvia - Really impressed today
McKenzie - Lacking touch, imagination
Rodan - Tried heart out
Blease - 5 minute performance (exactly)
Garland - Very impessed, thankyou
Terlich - Good defensive run
Pederson - Dumb positioning, what the (censored) are you on?
McDonald - Don't give ball!! (Otherwise good.)
Evans - Excellent run all day. (Unsighted after first - He wasn't unsighted, Mark Neeld through him in defense to do the running others didn't want to do. Looking at you Jack Watts)
Tapscott - Becoming a player (He's playing like an AFL player and will get better. Tough as nails!)
Davey - Tried hard, unfortunate
Gawn - Brilliant contested footy
Howe - Tried all day
Jamar - Game plan please. (Despite perceptions, the ruckman have to be very smart to hit to advantage and be creative with centre breaks. Just didn't have it.)
Bail - Glory hound, selfish
M. Jones - Ran for us!!

Rohan Bail has one or two chances a game where he should convert, but he rarely converts on the run. If he could take those chances, that turns an average 16 disposal game where he burns a couple of chances, to a 16 disposal, 2 goal performance which is decent.

So Zorko did have an opponent after all.

That’s the problem. He misses shots he isn't likely to convert while ignoring team mates in a better position. I'd much rather a 16 disposal 2 goal assist game than a 16 disposal and 2 behinds game.

I agree, but I think any decent league footballer should be slotting 80-90% of those chances as opposed to the the 20-30% that Bail does. Either way, whether he takes them on or lays it off, it isn't good enough. In saying that, I do like Bail and think he can get there, but he either needs to take those chances or turn them into assists.

    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
