Fantastic result for Nev - shows what a bit of dedication & commitment, (garnished with encouragement from a Coach who is clearly a good 'people person'), can achieve. Let's hope that a few more do the 'hard yards' and generate the well-deserved rewards.

One mans list clogger is another mans excellent small defender.

I am so happy for him and the club and the fans.

Well done to him and well done to all the (many) various admins that kept him around for him to make such a difference in 2014.

Has probably been the highlight of the year for me. I always enjoy players that have done it the hard way really finding their feet. Rarely gets beaten one on one. Hits his targets and has regularly shown a lot of courage where he puts his body. As said above, I hope it's infectious.

Very well deserved, I doubt many people could've predicted his re-emergence, just been watching a bit of the Hawthorne game and he was excellent. He's a great example of persistence and I hope he's able to build on it into 2015.

He and Pederson are two of the most improved players in the competition. Who would've guessed?

Yes well deserved. great story. He is a great example of someone playing his role and not trying to be someone else. tough strong and reliable.

We always complain there are few positions on the ground where you can pencil in each week for a player to do their job, but he is one.

If we can get a few more each year to fulfil 'roles' rather than looking for champions we will start winning more games and avoiding blowouts.

Well done Neville - you've been fantastic this year - love your fight, poise and tackling

Jetta Machsy a nice name.

Had this discussion with a mate recently, Jetta would be a stand out for aboriginal players as a pure stopping type defensive player. That's a pretty rare breed.

I can name a few aboriginal defenders but most are the attacking Yarrans or Leon Davis types, who although in the back half of the ground are real line breakers.

Can anyone name other real 'defenders' who were aboriginal?

Wirripunda was one of the best both attacking and defensively. anyone else?

Congratulations Nev.

Who said the coaching can't help make or break a player? Roosy showed belief and no doubt told him a few home truths, and Nev put his head down, worked his butt off, and deserved every accolade and success that he himself ultimately achieved.

    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
