Had the great displeasure of viewing this live. No votes for Jones, Vince, Viney and Gawn based on their pathetic first half contribution of 21 disposals between them.

6. Tom McDonald - at least he always tries

5. Viv Michie - probably our best in the first half and kept cracking in

4. Jack Watts - made some mistakes but had a crack

3. Ben Newton - thought he had a dip

2. Billy Stretch - worked really hard

1. Jack Grimes - best of the rest

Thought Stretch was a shining light on a bleak day

You really could've picked any of these names out of a hat.

6. Grimes - from the start to the end. When we made a challenge he was at the coalface.

5. McDonald - still a great mark and works hard. Love that we are using him in the middle.

4. Watts - although faded a little, still was an important cog and who knows what would have happened without him there.

3. Newton - clearances. He had some.

2. ANB - really showed some hardness and a guy who makes leads all day (he's 1 of 2)

1. Michie - he did stuff in the first half when no one else turned up.

I honestly laughed when I saw the title of this thread

I was in stiches writing it. I was waiting for D'land to start the thread so I could give some smartarse reply about sparing us this week, but it seems he's made himself scarce this week, so I had to start it.

Smart man, our Andy...

Easy to miss in the insipid performance that some things are getting better. Showing a bit more every game along with his mate ANB. Good call on the FS pick by the club.

Very hard to pick given everyone made howlers.

6 Grimes - a couple of dreadful errors just before half time, but our only four quarter contributor.

5 T.Mac - why are his hands so clean when he goes for a mark and yet others can't hold a drink bottle.

4 Michie - our best to half time, but ran out of puff and cramped up in last term. May have saved his career though.

3 N.Jones - couldn't break his tag for first half, but was one of the few who really lifted in the second half.

Not sure I can keep going but, maybe.

2 Dunn- he did beat his opponent, although Watson and Jaksch may be the weakest opposition talls he has ever played on, so it's no surprise.

1 Watts - second half was better and he did look like a leader, even if he again failed to hurt on counter-attack.

One final word for Golly. I get that you are being sarcastic, but to put Nathan Jones in your list of six worst just shows you have no idea what actually was happening out there. Were you at the game or at the bar?

6 - McDonald - makes up for lack of natural ability with a huge heart and wonderful effort

5 - Michie - tried, with limited success but better than the rest

4 - Salem - showed some endeavour and a little of the class that we know he possesses

3 - Grimes - gave a damn but is still so predictable under pressure

2 - Gawn - made a difference for a short time

1 - Dunn - just because

Really, only the first three deserve votes.

Having said that, the most pleasing thing about a dismal game was the performance of the younger players. Most showed effort and skill, one or more of which were lacking in more senior players.

    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
