GAMEDAY - Round 16



Recommended Posts

Just now, P-man said:

Geeze we've butchered some opportunities. Could almost have kicked 100 points.

Matt Jones has been dreadful.

The rest is pretty positive,

We certainly have, but it's great we are creating them.  I dare say that we would have converted them at a dry MCG and not in slippery NT.

It's a shame about Matt Jones - we works his socks off, but his disposal tonight has been shown up in these conditions.

For those that have a crack at our leaders that goal from N. Jones was all about leadership. Took it on himself and delivered.

That Pav free kick was very soft. Had it been a first year player it would have been play on.

Even when we're running all over them, disposal letting us down. Just so many of our players with questionable disposal and a real lack of footy smarts ... M Jones, Harmes, Hunt (OK, young), Kent (great with the goals in front of him, but too often turns it over), Grimes (of course), Petracca (OK, young) - there must be a few I'm missing as well.

I know a few here [censored] about Oscar Mac, but at least he usually hits his target. Speaking of which Mitch White looking good. Some footy smarts.

Carry on.

When was the last time we'd put a game out of reach at half time?  I know - careful not to jinx etc, but I can't see this game becoming more free flowing and high scoring as it goes on.  The players all looked stuffed.

Probably should be in front by more given our domination but hey if we continue on this path it'll be a very big win. I also suspect that if we continue getting these numbers the dockers just won't be able to hold us back.

No mercy Dees, kill their spirit in the 3rd quarter and go for the jugular!

Playing in Darwin is ridiculous. Players are out on their feet before half time. The humidity must be killer.

 

We are playing now okay-ish and controlling the game, which is great to see, but Its a terrible game to watch because of the conditions.

 

Need to come out and smash them early in the third quarter - the heat will inevitably kick and and then go out of the game after the first 10 mins IF we can again hit the scoreboard.

 

My only complaint currently is that we are not absolutely burying them.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
