Jones - dynamic when needed

Dunn - unstoppable in defence

Hogan - constantly provided target

Watts - dynamic link man

Dawes - tried but clumsy

Viney - wonderful tagging game

Lumumba - dynamic and safe

Brayshaw - great second half

Tyson - lethargic and wasteful

Cross - outstanding tagging role

Garland - excellent defensive drive

Michie - just lacked nous

Vince - another wonderful game

McDonald - was rarely noticed

Neal-Bullen - failed to impose

Grimes - better second half

Garlett - just a cameo

Howe - finally 4 quarters

Jetta - displayed great endeavour

vandenBerg - tough and disciplined

Harmes - made an impression

Gawn - knows he belongs

Disagree on Dawes. I thought he was good today.

Tysons disposal early was horrible and so was hi awareness but I thought the second half he got much better.

Dunn was superb, thought Garlos was good too

Cross killed Sidebottom after halftime, he had 21 to half tim then Cross went on him and he was hardly seen after that.

Pretty good joeboy, although I think it's a little harsh on ANB. 15 touches and 6 tackles is not a bad effort from a first year player.

esp playing as a fwd flanker

Dawes had the second highest disposal efficiency (85.7%) only behind Brayshaw - he was actually decent today but needs to impact the scoreboard more

Not sure if it's because he's playing with an injury, but Dom Tyson seems like he has lost a bit since last year. Last year in tight he always looked classy and always had more time and managed to get out of traffic without being caught. This year he seems to find some space but gets pinged for holding the ball a lot more. Hopefully next season he can return to his 2014 form. A very important player and could be an elite midfielder if he keeps improving.

Tyson got caught htb plenty last year as well.

Really? I counted at least 5 times he got the Dukes to the ball and dropped it. Failed to kick that goal in last qtr to seal it. Fumbled it regularly today. I would say poor.

Harsh on Tyson. Was a bit wasteful but nine tackles, six clearances and 23 disposals indicates he did a decent job.

Good clearance work, but the stats don't show how slow he is with ball in hand.

Those who hate Toumpas loved to pipe up about every time Toumpas got caught with the ball - it's happening to Tyson far more regularly than it ever happened to Toumpas.

It's a frustrating trend in Tyson's game right now - he's coasting to contests a bit, and when he gets in them he's regularly too slow to dispose of it.

Still, as I said, I like his clearance work and we need to keep playing Vince, Viney, Tyson, Jones with Gawn to keep them learning.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
