I got too high on excitement at us playing convincingly well and forgot to pay attention to individuals. Will vote once I've watched a replay, if I get the opportunity to watch one.

I agree with you regarding Lumumba. He added some run to this team which had previously been missing.

For me, these six guys stood up during periods where the game was up for grabs. Viney, unlucky as his aggression was fantastic. With improved offensive/decision-making, he would have been just about BOG.

Vandenberg, Cross, Newton and a couple of others a bees dick away and very unlucky.

Tom Mac and Viney the most influential players on the park for me.

Interesting that Brad Johnson had Howe as our best player and I suppose that makes him by default, the best player on the ground (in Brad's eyes) Howe hasn't attracted a lot of votes here.

I was also astonished to discover that Lumumba only had 12 possessions (only 6 more than the 27 minute player - Toumpas ^_^)

I had to have Lumumba in my best as I thought he was quite influential despite his low possession count.

6 - T-Mac

5 - Jones

4 - Watts

3 - Viney

2 - Howe

1 - Lumumba

Apologies to at least another 8 players (especially Garlett, Garland & Tyson)

Usually it's been difficult to find 6 players - I prefer this version of difficult.

6) Jason Taylor (Recognised the need for speed and added four quick guys - Garlett, Lumumba, vandenberg and Frost to the list and still kept the high pics and got a handy father/son).

5) Paul Roos (Got rid of the hard working but high turnover merchants and also decide to go small against a side that is skillful but tiny).

4) Simon Goodwin (If the mail is right that he has encouraged a more attacking style to balance Roosy's possession style lockdown game, then he had a major win).

3) Fitness/Physio/Medical team - Only two players missing through injury if we don't include Bernie who played full game in reserves.

2) Peter Jackson (got Roosy in first place and seems to have steered a dead ship into clear seas)

1) Robbie Flower (his spirit has carried us through and the Dom Tyson's goal was reminiscent of the magical way we used to get excited in 1987 when Robbie's final year sparked play that we normally could only dream of)

It is early days and there will be plenty of more physical sides to come that will upend us, but at least we look competitive.

6 - McDonald - it all came together

5 - Watts - it all came together

4 - Garlett - was dangerous, creative and very team focused

3 - Dunn - was a constant rock in defence

2 - Viney - some howlers but finally took first options , successfully

1 - Howe - clean skills and so valuable despite the limited preseason

Many deserving missed out - a very nice, and unfamiliar, dilemma

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
