Sylvia: gave a damn......... Except when he was expected to chase he chose when too and when not too.

Dawes: ball kicked over his head or on top.

I would much rather a few of the other guys had the confidence to take the game on like Terlich.

Sylvia? Really? Ran around the outside of packs, 10 direct turnovers, kicking efficiency about 50%. Flashy goal in the last, 3 quarters too late.

Viney, Dawes, Howe, Garland , Gawn and Sellar get pass marks. The rest, not.

The Herald sun summed it up for me with the following - Jack Viney played his best game for the club, Matt Jones kept trying and Gawn again showed something, but that was about it.

AFL standard
Howe - Our best. If he could kick straight he would bag 5-6.

Gawn - liked his game. Big man. Has the edge.

N.Jones - tagged again. No one cuts out his tagger to help.

Sylvia - showed why he is in our top 5 players. Frustration let him down.
Viney - tried but flawed

M.Jones - classy disposal. Our best rookie this year.
Strauss - showed some run and carry. Nice goal. A keeper.

Terlich - trier

Tapscott - showed some grunt. but also fumbled too much

Frawley - was he playing !!
McKenzie - hmmm - bereft of skills
Dunn – trier.
Garland - holding back a tidal wave. trier.
Sellar - trier
Evans - trier
Kent - overwhelmed. trier. leave in to get some games into.
Dawes - no one at magpieland cried when he left. One effort player.

To be omitted:
Spencer – 2nd rate. VFL Dev squad.
Bail – ohhh. Back to vfl. Fell over. Missed tackles etc etc
Nicholson - dumb and dumber and dumb and dumber 2
Byrnes - VFL standard (drop)
Davey - limited and flawed. Missed 2 easy goals

Dawes ?? pushed off the footy. One effort. Poor elbow swing. Tried to mark on chest not hands. he was poor.

Oh come on.......... the kid is a gun and thats the best you could do?

Thought for limited opportunities Dawes kicked some nice passes that had the forwards leading to the the ball. He took a couple of marks, contested a bit, and fluffed a few. For first game back, I'd give him a 'pass'. Lots of room for him to improve. Nice if players could kick to his advantage.

Call me crazy, but I've found myself agreeing with Bluey on one point tonight.

Howe plays like an absolute millionaire; best player in the U-7's.

If he could bring some variety to his game, it'd be a breath of fresh air.

His one 'screamer' today: made it look harder than it was.

    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
