Mistake.

Grimes for Vince

Grumble, grumble, grumble

6 - Viney - again tagged and beat out Stevens. Just getting the job done.

5 - Gawn - dominated all day. Wish we could capitalise more

4 - N. Jones - wasnt going to give him votes but his 4th quarter effort was huge to try and will us to something

3 - Grimes - Still needs to get back up to speed but he offers so much off half back

2 - Howe - trade value going up, up

1 - Watts - big first half and tried to get involved in the second. Getting better.

6 - Viney ( took the right options and smothered an important opponent )

5 - Vince ( racked up possessions and restricted an important opponent )

4 - Gawn ( great first half )

3 - Grimes ( made mistakes but backed himself successfully)

2 - Jones ( best of the rest)

1 - Dunn( was rarely beaten)

5. Dawes. For getting us off to a great start with the clever tactic of putting his shoes on back-to-front.

4. Watts. Claiming a 2-meter mark - all class today. Almost Pendles-like with the time and space he thinks he has.

3. Roos. Garland on Nick a curve-ball they surely weren’t expecting.

2. Lamumba. Never afraid to play on and take the first option whatever that may be.

1. Tyson. Seamlessly adapting to the Melbourne blue-print after a troubled first year.

Settle down Hood. Howe wasn't that good!

6 - Viney. Rapidly becoming an elite mid.

5 - Gawn. Rapidly becoming a real ruck.

4 - Nev. If nothing else for that monumentally late hit and then claiming that the ball had been touched. Genius.

3 - Vince. Was involved and was one of the few who did something productive when they had the chance to hit a forward.

2 - Garland. Had his work cut out against Saint Nick. Was beaten but not shamed.

1 - Brayshaw. I was amazed that he was listed as having only two tackles until I remembered that most would have been listed as effective (non) disposals or frees against due to the most influential player on the ground.

Speaking of which...

Most influential Player: Umpire Wallace, closely followed by Mollison.

Couldn't give votes to Hogan Because he missed an absolute sitter and in a low-scoring game that kills us. Likewise Garlett. Dawes both missed a sitter and shanked passes to open forwards twice in the first quarter, so he's out. Tyson cost Harmes a chance at his first AFL goal by passing behind him. Cross and Dunn ruled themselves out with loose marking which cost us goals. Jones played on when he shouldn't have repeatedly, cost us multiple goals. Watts kept trying to pinpoint passes into the corridor and missing. Once I got through all the players I couldn't vote for it was getting really hard to find someone I could.

    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
