6 Gawn - he dominated like he should have. Main thing I am happy with is the amount of ball he is getting around the ground.

5 Vince - 30+ again. A lot of hack kicks but where would we be without him

4 Jones - Again broke the tag and tried to really hard to turn the game

3 Dunn - Keeps the opposition forwards quite. Going really well

2 Cross - Goddard was killing us. Then Cross killed him

1 Watts - he's just clean. When we were coming he was the one getting us there (and then he stopped...)

Only omitted Jones because of some of his atrocious turnovers.

6. Gawn - Showed how much Essendon needs a true ruckman. Safely now our No.1.

5. Vince - Plenty of quick kicks and missed a sitter in third but how dominant does he look at the moment,

4. Jones - brilliant second term when we should have cleared out but missed a couple of goals that he'd normally get - albeit not easy ones.

3. Vandenberg - our only small forward who seemed capable of turning his opponent inside out and tackled hard as always.

2. Tom Mac - His kicking let him down but at least he won the footy. One shocking quarter on Daniher doesn't mean you had a shocker.

1. Lumumba - Always helping out and took the game on - something most others didn't seem to want to do.

Cross?- Was I at another game or are the early votes for him from TV viewers. It was his worst game this year. However I have him in my top five B&F this year, so I am a huge fan and want him to continue next season.

6 - Vince ( continued AA form )

5 - Dunn ( never looked like being beaten)

4 - N.Jones ( not his best , but effective)

3 - Gawn ( prolific first half )

2- Viney ( curtailed Heppell for the most part)

1- vandenBerg ( we can see it happening but he's not there yet )

Teach T McD to kick and I'll give him votes.

Agree 100%. While he's good at getting the ball, his disposal was so poor I thought he was a net liability on the day.

Can't believe how some have been critical of Gawns game saying that his hitouts weren't influential. The midfield take time to adapt to his style.

The same was said about Sandilands not too long ago. He is rapidly becoming one of our most important players especially now he is clunking contested marks and accumulating possessions.

That is a fairly select group chook we don't have too many important players.

He is going better than I thought he was capable of in the last few games.

He palmed quite a few over his head which only seemed to go to Essendrug I could not work out if our midfielders were missing the intention or he had no idea where he was supposed to be directing them.

Excellent first half but the Bombers played him differently in the second half particularly the third quarter.

It sure as hell was not his fault we lost.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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
