Garland is a big issue. I know he is coming back from injury but his fumbling, poor decision making and touch are costing us.

It isn't a case of we are playing one down, he is contributing to the opposition.

He is a much better player but there has to be a time when he needs to back and find touch.

Nicho - Shouldn't have played

Watts frustratingly lazy disposal

Terlich - outlived his usefulness

Kent - poor for 2weeks

Jetta - loved his effort

Barry - deserves next week

Grimes - best game yet

Viney - shut down Libba

Salem - needs Casey time

Bail - doesn't offer enough

M Jones - same as Bail

Umpires - should be ashamed

Possessions mean absolutely nothing when you continue to butcher it constantly like Garland and Bail did today.

SEN commentators gave Frawley the 3 votes? I didn't see the game and only listened to the last half but all agreed Chip was the most influential player.

That's because so many on here are letting his contractual situation completely colour their views regarding his play. Having said that he did make some mistakes and I didn't think he should have got the 3 votes.

Agreed. Although there is no way he was top 3 today in any way shape or form. A few of his clangers were so so costly i'm still sore from them, definitely wasn't the only one who wasn't clean with the footy today though.

Jamar:

Palmed to Footscray.

I thought Russian had a pretty handy game but you're right. There were a couple where he beat Minson & then palmed the ball straight to him. Why would you bother ?

Hahaha.

M. Jones played a good game?

M. Jones? Watch the replay?

Your post is great because of you know, obviously terrible today.

I was at the game and I had Frawley clearly BOG. Liam Jones had 1 possession and was subbed off at 3/4 time. He absolutely dominated them in the defensive 50. As good as he's been presenting as a lead-up forward his real position if Full Back and he showed today that he is still AA quality.

You can't give BOG to a guy who regularly butchers the ball and somehow turns our advantage to a 50/50 with horrible execution.

Liam Jones is cold, cold, cold, hot, cold anyway; so keeping Jones quiet has been simple for most of the year.

For Frawley's sake, I hope he has his suitors conned as well as 70% of us MFC supporters. He is fool's gold.

Thats the same Jones who was the probably the reason the Dogs got over the line against Collingwood 2 weeks ago ?

And as for turning advantage into 50/50's - as opposed to a lot of what I saw yesterday - where we turned advantage into disadvantage.

He wasn't in my opinion BOG but we have a lot more footballers that I am scratching my head over other than Frawley.

    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
