6 - Dawes. Worked hard all day and gave us a chance at getting useful F50 entries.

5 - Frawley. Held Franklin. Had a couple of unlucky calls or it would have been Thrashed Franklin.

4 - Garland. Had an awesome battle with Roughhead, who has been in very good form. At worst broke even.

3 - Jones. As always, he kept fighting no matter what. So influential they used Sam Mitchell to tag him in the last.

2 - David Rodan. Easily the best he's played for us. Hada real influence on the game, even if he did make a few poor decisions.

1 - Jeremy Howe. Was in everything, taking good marks, getting the ball, smothering. One of the real shining lights this year.

I thought Watts was good today. Seemed to be rotating through numerious positions

Agree, but he has a nasty habit of sprinting to a contest and then hovering over it rather than trying to win the ball. This could be an instruction, as in be the outside receiver and use your good disposal once someone like McKenzie has won it, but it looks really bad. I also question his chasing. A guy with his pace should be able to run his man down.

Watts will always do a couple of nice things but my view was his game was putrid. His attack on the ball, man and contest is appalling. How I could have possibly thought we made the right decision taking him over Natanui makes me seriously question my ability to rate footballers. Luckily there will be coaches with big enough egos that will think they can bring out the player within. I would be trading him for the best mid we can get.

Rubbish. I'm a critic of Jack but to describe his game as putrid is wrong

Conveniently, all of these guys are a big part of the future.

Hawthorn killed us with their skills, Watts is oneof the few players we have that has anything like elite skills

Why? Show me footage of him attacking a contest or chasing more than half paced and I will happily retract.

I gather you weren't at the ground today, Watts was absolutely pathetic, worse demon player out there. Had a couple of minutes in the third quarter where he put in the rest of the time his work ethic was bad and should be dropped next week.

I wasn't at the game but I did watch it. Thought he was very good in the first half and average in the second.

He was a passenger today, I'm usually a Watts supporter but today he was lazy and should be dropped

    Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock for the final week of training for the 1st to 4th Years until they are joined by the rest of the senior squad for Preseason Training Camp in Mansfield next week.

Seston, and Howes did a lot of boundary running, and Tom Campbell continued his work with individual trainer in non-MFC

    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
