Uncontested Possession getters in double figures: Grimes 19, Michie 14, Watts 13, Stretch 11, Cross 11, Dunn 11, Salem 10, McDonald 10.

Now the backs are going to get a few uncontested touches switching play - which is important but I will concede that is not 'hard work' to do that. Every other UP is hard running. Well done to the boys above - especially Michie, Watts and Stretch, who would have got less of those switches than the others.

Jones 8, Vince 7, and Viney 6.

Now this is where I get into a less congratulatory tone... We only had around 170 UPs - that is a very lazy performance from a team that has worked hard to push the average up to nearly 200.

Against the Pies a month ago we had 237 UPs and the three above had 49 of them between them with Vince getting 24. 12 players were in double figures that day (in order: Vince, Grimes, Jones, Garland, ANB, Watts, Cross, Hogan, Vanders, Viney, Tyson, and Howe).

As we know - our best players need to lift, they are letting their mates down. I hate to be emotive about this but there are playing a couple of blokes out of contracts. That's how footy works.

I thought my top 5 had reasonably solid 4 quarter games in a dismal team performance. It says a lot about the team when my next best was comprehensively thrashed in the first half, only to lift a bit in the second.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
