6 - Frawley: masterstroke from Roos to switch him forward.

5 - Jones: completely pantsed Murphy. Bullet-like kicks. Is he officially 'elite'? Pretty close.

4 - Grimes: was starting to have doubts. Immense today.

3 - Viney: absolute gun. Extra points for his smart-alec bum tap to Warnock after Bail goal.

2 - Bail: speaking of that guy, he really proved a few wrong today (including me)

1 - McDonald (really good defensively as always and minimised errors by foot)

Apologies, Spencer, Cross (one of the recruits of the year), Dawes (worth every cent!) Matt Jones, and a few others.

Jake Spencer - 2 billion votes

He absolutely smashed them today, physically tormented any Blues player that he went near and made that spud Warnock cower in fear

Thankyou, jake

Too many apologies to mention, but suffice to say it was a great team effort with no passengers! How long has it been since we have been able to put our hands on our red and blue hearts make that claim??

6. Frawely - great presence and just presented all day

5. N. Jones - elite it is

4. Grimes - early on when we were clawing back he was the one clawing

3. T. McDonald - allows the best full back in the business to play forward

2. R. Bail - eating a lot of my own words

1. J. Spencer - in 3-5 years time you can just seeing having a Minson / Jacobs / Maric season

Please keep those votes rolling in folks.

To answer a query from last week, when I post the progressive votes that means the totals for all rounds played so far in the season, not just the round currently played.

6- Frawley ( was untouchable )

5 - Cross ( belied his age , and did everything so professionally)

4 - N.Jones ( lifted his game to inspire his teammates)

3 - McDonald ( if he can improve his decision making he could become elite)

2 - M. Jones ( not my favourite , but definitely played an important part today)

1 - Grimes ( lifted his game , and let little pass )

6. N Jones.... Brilliant both ways

5. Tom McDonald..... Marshalled the back line

4. Jack Viney.....would have got a 2, but gets 2 extra for the 'don't argue' chest fend in 3rd.

3. Dan Cross.....a monster of effort and intent

2. Matt Jones..... fast, smart and fit

1. James Frawley......proper effort and great marking.

Apologies to all the others.

6: Jones N: and yes, he is elite!

5: Jones the other: not elite but a bluddy good battler!

4: Spencer: agro with purpose, his best game yet!

3: Grimes: I have always liked Grimsey, and I'm glad he proved a few critics wrong!

2: Bail: the kid shouldn't be playing for his healths sake, but he did and he was good!

1: Dunn: fast becoming Mr Versatile, and a very reliable player!

And my apologies to Chris Dawes and Chip Frawley, well played.

6 N. Jones - 28 touches whilst blanketing Murphy. Huge

5 Spencer - fought (literally and figuratively). Plays for the jumper more than any other

4 Frawley - involved in everything going forward

3 Dawes - Gave the rest of the side hope, how much he touched it is irrelevant

2 McDonald - Blanketed Henderson when one on one several times

1 Viney - sensation, set the tone

Honourable mention to M. Jones and Bail both of who's run were amazing. If all our players ran to receive like these guys we'd be a good side.

Each of these were the tone setters so to say.

6. N Jones. I am beginning to think he might be our best since Flower.

5. Frawley.

4. Spencer. He is a big doofuss, but his aggression and second efforts are inspiring.

3. Bail. I am a huge fan, but posted about 10 days ago that I didn't think he would make it. 10 tackles, 2 goals and ran all day. Wow.

2. Grimes. Poise, grunt and balance, and limited the turnovers.

1. Cross.

Having Dawes changed our playing shape and his work off the ball was amazing.

T Mac was back to his best today, and like Grimes, limited his turnovers.

Love the way Viney, Bail and Evans attack a contest - run in and cause havoc.

Had almost 22 classy performers today - very hard to split the votes

6 Frawley

5 N Jones

4 Grimes

3 Viney

2 M Jones

1 Bail (best game of his career)

Also super impressed with Dunn (am starting to think he's one of our top 5 players on the list), McDonald, JKH, Kent (he's everything Tapscott can do, but better), and Dawes.

Posted

Nathan Jones (This bloke deserves a Brownlow)

Frawley (Best game I've seen him play in about 3 years)

Spencer (Best game I've seen him play)

Grimes ( Don't knock him - Captain's game)

Viney (Provides grunt)

Mc Donald ( Better and better)

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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
