I've been one of his biggest detractors, but he was close to our best player in the first half.  He was terrific.

Faded in the second half, no doubt, and that error at the end was bad, but if we based things off an error like than then many of our players wouldn't get a gig either.

Calling it now that he'll be in the side again next week.

You could tell by the look on his face after that goal, he knew it too.

He was very good in the first quarter but to drop the ball like he did in the last is simply inexcusable.

Seems to work pretty well for Dawes and Hogan in getting regular games. 

Every player makes mistakes. We lost that game because we collectively sucked in the last quarter. We failed miserably defensively as we have on many occasion this year.

Must be a typo and he meant to say Chris Dawes

Well it's a [censored] call

Thought he was decent. Could name at least 10 worse than him

Care to elaborate? I didn't have a chance to see or hear the game so I'd like to know why you think his career might be over. To post as you have is somewhat simplistic. Or, to put it another way, are there any other toys you want to throw out of the cot while you're at it?

Pathetic thread. One fumble trying to take the game on after it is over.

Most reasonable posters on here have been critical in the past, but can see he is serviceable at the very least this season.

Surprised we didn't see a similar thread early in the game for Hogan when he coughed a goal up switching play, or Bernie's handball that led directly to a goal, or OMac's dropped mark early in the game.

Maybe 'Allen' got the wrong player???

There is a certain key forward who surely doesn't have a lot of time left...

Maybe switch "game" for "season", but even then it is hard to gauge.

Until we get more serious pace onto the list there will be a place for M Jones.

I'm a hater-but the Jones boy done ok today.

Nup, he wasn't worst by long way, he might get another game next week although I'd prefer Oliver or Brayshaw

Thought he was ok but on top of the fumble also had a couple of other costly turnovers that resulted in goals.

not best 22 once younger mids are ready but serviceable depth for mine.

    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.
