Jones - always the warrior

Hogan - our only winner

Gawn - failed to dominate

Viney - never left wondering

Vince - was rarely sighted

Kennedy - looked painfully slow

Bugg - selection defies logic

Petracca - some sublime touches

Tyson - consistently wrong options

Watts - continued impressive form

McDonald - disappears when beaten

Wagner - played amateur football

Lumumba - was embarrassingly bad

Dunn - inhibited by fatness

Harmes - a poor game

Garlett - couldn't find ball

Salem - poor before injury

Kent - probably wasn't playing

Frost - not of standard

Pedersen - see Dunn above

Hunt - out of depth

Jetta - slow and loose

Usually agree with most of yours joe, but there's a bunch that seem way off today, did you go to the game?

21 disposals at 86% Efficiency...

Selection justified if you ask me...

Tried his guts out all day and if he gets dropped after that I would be pi55ed

Harmes - looked for frees

This is a major component of his game that needs to be stamped out very quickly, he does like to sook doesn't he!

Maybe if his performance warranted paying attention to, then he might have got some (back to Casey for him).

 

As for Tom McDonald - Showed true self.

He is massively overrated - on here, by the footy department and by himself. A brainless one-legged man would be a better kick and decision maker than him. We desperately need to find a quality KPD if our backline is to improve. Try and entice Hurley across to be the linchpin of our defence. McDonald would be a much improved player as 2nd/3rd KPD.

Midfield - learn defensive spread.

Defensive coach Rawlings - poor defensive instructions

Half back line - annihilated by pace.

Harmes - an absolute shocker

Hunt - fumbly and weak

Wagner - flaws on display

Lamumba - just so poor

Frost - yuck x 3

Dunn - Agree with above

TMac - Timid, tired play

Gawn - met his match

MFC - ahead of themselves 

God that was a bad look. Most of the time he was fairly bumped off the ball too.

Agree with most of this - but Watts was average and Kennedy was ok.. didn't think he looked slow at all?

Hogan, Viney and Jones are the only ones who can hold their head ups after today's performance.

Hickey dominated Gawn in the NAB game as well.

I had a feeling Gawn was in for a poor game.

They broke even.

And Joeboy, Watts was hopeless.  He was back to the non-competitive version.

What a miserable effort after the last 3 weeks playing good tough footy, they outrun us, out marked us, worked harder and played smarter?? a number of their faster types can run flat out and still deliver the ball accurately? We lacked speed and footy smarts!!

Who beat Gawn around the ground ?  Hickey took one mark for the day.

    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.

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