Jeez it's hard to see through the red mist to do this one today. I'm still trying to snap out of it. Talk to me again in a few hours.

6 - Vince - was prolific and rarely failed to use the ball to advantage

5 - Toumpas - was outstanding and creative until the last quarter

4 - Jones - we suffered whenever he was blanketed

3 - Gawn - outstanding performance in the middle ,

2 - Cross - what can't he do?

1 - Hogan - frustrating but still a presence all day

Jones misses out because in my opinion he wasn't as switched on as he should have been at the end with the set up

6 - Vince - really dominant game

5 - Hogan - 5 for 5

4 - Watts - influential and is strarting to realise how good he can become

3 - Jones - broke the tag

2 - Toumpas - best game for the club

Viney undid any good will with that dumb jumper punch and not picking up Jack Steven for the last 2 clearances that resulted in that goal

N Jones was up there but cancelled out any good work with lack of leadership when most needed. Needs to stop celebrating goals in regular time and get on with leading and getting the job done. Celebrate only WHEN/IF we win...preferably after the siren!!

Viney also with a number of brain fades and failing to man up Stevens in the dying seconds.

6 Jones - Almost every time we kicked a goal, it was through his excellent ball use

5 Toumpas - Beautiful outside midfielder game. Best game at the club.

4 Hogan - The first of many many many bags

3 Vince - Just keep running and creating opportunities

2 Cross - really want this man to stay on for another two years

1 Dunn - almost back to his best. Would have lost by a lot more if he wasn't on song.

6 - Jimmy Toump - yeah thats riight folks. The Toump has arrived, 26 touches, 8 tackles and 2 goals.

5 - Bernie VInce - a legend who never tires and racked them up again

4 - Jesse Hogan - best 20 year old Key forward ever. Wont be 21 til next year. Freak.

3 - Jack Watts - when hes switched on his kicking and decision making are elite. Hes going in harder too.

2 - Nate Jones - prolific and a truckload of inside 50's

1 - Jack Viney - that tackle, plus 24 touches and a goal

Apologies to Crossy

No votes for Jones today. Poor leadership again and he is really not having a great year. His numbers might look ok, but he is playing selfish football. He's not going in for the hard ball as much and is calling for cheap handball receives. Really hoping he starts breaking these tags and having more of an impact on games as we are missing him firing recently. Would also be great to get guys like Tyson and Dunn firing again!

NB: Many will give Jones votes but I thought whilst he got a lot of ball and cracked in he played a selfish one way game.

I thought there was one thing he did that was really bad...He covered the mark when he needed to take the harder option and cover a moving player. He manned the mark, the forward I think it was Hogan should have taken it as Jones was in a better position to take the other player.

Though this was very lazy footy from a leader and hope (pretty sure it will be) picked up in the review...

    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
