6. The Jones Boy - No tag job in first half and instead Mckenzie/Vince/Cross to Ablett all day and we win this. What a leader and in my opinion he is now a genuine A grader with the occasional "off" disposals that let him down but usually it's under intense pressure so go figure. If his fellow players block more and work a little harder to give him some room to work in, i believe his effectiveness would improve enough to shrug off the doubters.

5. Daniel Cross - Hard and always in and at it. Knows when to possess and when to get it moving quickly.

4. Jack Viney - Awareness and poise needed once in the clear. Learning fast though. Another solid game from the youngster.

3. Jeremy Howe - Swing player trying to fill the gaps, ran hard, tackled ok, disposals mostly on the money. We only had 6 contested marks today and Howe accounted for half of those. A stat that needs massive improvement if we are to win games like this. The sons doubled us around the ground here.

2. Chris Dawes - Great soldier, asset and leader for the club. Fantastic body work/strength and positioning. Lacked finish today. Suspect a little sore from first up game last week. Accuracy and ability to get to more contests should improve as the weeks progress.

1. Matt Jones - Not a great game by any means but he still manages to get involved, runs hard and creates outlet options in congestion.

6.N.Jones (IN AA 40 squad form at least and has relished leadership role every week)

5.J.Viney (It's in his DNA knows no other way love this kid, will be a part of the building of a hate to lose culture every week)

4.Cross (as above but at the opposite end of his career always hard at it, wish we had someone like him when we moved Miller and Junior)

3. Dawes (he is a leader and whilst his wayward kicking was costly you can see his on field direction and provides a contest whenever it goes in)

2.Frawley (like Dawes presented but should have clunked a few more, can't fault his effort last fortnight)

1.JKH (showed a lot after Half Time)

6. N Jones (as usual)

5. Viney (getting better every week, although he still tends to fade in and out of games a bit)

4. Cross (has been way better than I thought he would be)

3. Dawes (missed a couple of crucial shots, but overall was impressive.

2. Frawley (see Dawes comments)

1. The supporters for being vocal throughout the match despite a small turnout.

Another stellar performance from Nathan Jones sees him streaking ahead of the field in the progressive voting.

6. N. Jones (this has become a cut and paste each week now. I wish someone else would stand up)

5. Dawes

4. Viney

3. Frawley

2. Bail (his job on Harbrow was very effective)

1. Cross.

Interesting. I couldn't get to the ground so watched on TV which doesn't provide a full picture of any game. I had thought Bail was very poor - but if he was playing a purely defensive role, perhaps that's why I didn't notice him.

It's disappointing that some posters could find a spot for Grimes in the best 6. Co-captain, zero tackles off a half back flank.

Had every opportunity to damage Swallow in the last quarter I think it was. What did Grimes do? Stuffs up his timing when attempting to spoil allowing Swallow to take an easy mark and in the end, kick a vital goal.

If I played under Grimes' leadership and saw him do that when the game was there to be won, it'd break my heart. Couldn't imagine Hodge/Selwood/Bartel doing that.

    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
