I noticed the same thing. Still criticism, but all constructive and much more encouraging. I have no problem with reviews like this.

I can't believe others can''t see the vfl reviews are written after they've decided if they'll make any changes. I predict quite a few changes this week. Blease is a certainty IMO. Hope he goes ok. Hard to see him going worse than terls.

If Gawn had 87 hit outs in an apparently putrid win and was not named in the best, I would like to know where his hit outs actually went. He must have been flailing about in the ruck like Peter Garrett in his prime.

He was named in the bests.

I'll respond to you rather than delete my post in shame. Thanks for pointing that out. I scanned to the bests and saw the best from the development league. Back to your lives, citizens!

Those numbers are heartening, even if it was against a side that has decided to fold. A loss would've been a disaster, so they avoided that and hopefully grabbed some confidence out of it.

Will be surprised if at least two inclusions aren't made from this lot. Wouldn't complain if it was three or four.

Tackle counts from Blease & Michie were especially pleasing.

Hope this works. I am a techosaurus.

Interesting read. Doubt JKH is in the mix but Strauss, Blease and Michie might be.

Would have thought a comment that JKH is in 'good form' is a good start.

Also pleased to see Michie and Clisby noted for their improvement. They'd been treading water all year so good to see them both take the feedback on board and get better this week (obviously a rather large grain of salt with Bendigo, but improvement nonetheless).

From the player reviews on the club website:

He was really dominant, when in the ruck, having 87 hit outs for the day, playing on a much smaller ruckman. We found while Max’s ruck work was dominant, we weren’t getting a huge advantage due to our mids and Max not being on the same page with the hit calls. It’s something we’ll continue to work on with him. Max worked really hard throughout the day and followed up his ruckwork really well.

    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
