Jones - outstanding all game

Vince - provided the class

Hogan - wasn't really needed

Viney - outstanding until concussed

Gawn - dominated the ground

Tyson - prolific but wasteful

Oliver - genius in close

Stretch - used speed well

Kent - some classy cameos

Garland - far from convincing

Pedersen - successfully played role

Michie - neat but tentative 

McDonald - better second half

Hunt - attacking defensive weapon

Bugg - brilliant first half

Kennedy - better second half

Garlett - always a presence

Jetta - brave and focused

Wagner - prolific but uncertain

Harmes - Rising Star nominee

Watts - not his best 

Petracca - exciting and clean

i reckon Pedo was one of our best, consistently presented himself up forward and didn't disgrace himself in the ruck either. Really settling into his role which will only make it harder for Dawes to get back in.

No Watts?

Sacrificed game.

Brown bought it up in the last and they showed footage in game of him leading his player away so others could lead into the space.

Crunched a lot of packs and bodies and our leading scorer.

Hogan was double teamed all game, very needed and you could tell Suns were overly cautious of his movements. A huge decoy effort.

Gawn- would turn for 

If he isn't considered for AA then the league is a sham.

The league is a sham. But wholly agree - I'd take Gawn in front of Goldie if I had the choice

Are you talking in the AA team or if you turned for him like Adzman?

Watts has finally... FINALLY got to the point where he's backing his own footy smarts. 

If this is the season he arrived I'm looking forward to him building  upon it.

Seems to take the lumbering Hulk a whiles to get going , then he's fine. 

Tommy still needs to watch more Eastwood films :rolleyes:

Garlo....utterly replaceable now.

Oliver... Wow...

Quite a few need more consistency. They're in and out of awareness.

Starting to like Kennedy.

If this year is about "penny dropping" , next season could be quite good

A bit of oversharing, Adzi.

Did Lumumba play? If so how good/bad was he?

No lumumba, Hunt did enough running off the back flanks to make up for him not being there

As in "Do you feel lucky, Punk?", I presume, rather than say `The Bridges of Madison County' ...:lol::)

No Watts because he was nowhere to be seen! I saw that footage, yes one good play, but he had an off day. Hopefully he'll lift for the doggies!

Watts played his role - took defenders away leaving space.  Not everyone can kick a bagful in a massacre.

Jesse did much the same, with two defenders.

I though Hogan was pretty good. Didn't impact the scoreboard like last week but contested well all night.

Stats wont show his contribution but his bullocking work and pressure around the ground was very good for a man who was out numbered all night

    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.

    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
