Nice to see some posters grudgingly acknowledging the improvement in Matt Jones and what he brings to the team.

Tyson was very good.

Hunt ,ANB , Stretch were passes but not great.

Agree except for Tyson.  Glad to see recognition for the mistakes from o.mcd and t.mcd.

Best 6 were N Jones, Gawn, Frost, Kent, Watts and Tyson.

Viney: Needs to use right side or Get ris of it quicker.

Brayshaw : awareness improvement/shows a lot of class at times

Petracca : Touch of class

Kent : Great run

Gawn : Terrific

Watts : Massive improvement in committment/Great team game

TMac/Jetta: Without hime we would have lost by 10 goals. End of Argument !!!!

Wagner/Omac/Hunt/ANB/Petracca/Brayshaw/Frost/Harmes/Stretch/Hogan  : all first or second year players

Nathan J : Great bounce back from last week

Whole Team : 100 minute effort / well done

'Joeboy's' not a Tyson fan, just factor that into the "3 Word Analysis"...

I'm a Tyson fan and a fan of thread, a must read after every game.

Frost - turned the corner

I wasn't sold on him at the start of the year. But there is an x factor about him even I can't deny. Today was a leap forward for him. He is a must start for the rest of the season so we can see what he can develop into.

Hunt - starting to fade ... lucky to be kept in the side. If Salem was fit, Hunt would be omitted.

You have to be joking ....what bloody game were you watching ....i saw it with some pies supporters and they were raving about him ....just so harsh

Jetta - good game  6

t.mcd - good but crucial mistakes were costly 5

wagner - ok. turnovers costly.5

Frost - very good. pace and backed himself.8

o.mcd - not even close to AFL standard. Disposal a worry. Physically gets pushed aside.2

vince - skilled. big heart. got in but a few undisciplined free kicks. 6

M. Jones - good run. One of his better games. 7

Viney - the warrior. needs to learn to kick on his right foot. 6

Hunt - fading. conditions not suited. 4

Stretch - good run again. must use him more and go forward. 6

Kent - good. but I want him to develop so much more and kick 4-5 goals. 6

Watts - another strong game. Most improved award for 2016.  (if any he had kivked the goal in the last quarter) 8

Petracca - yes. so much talent. 6

Garlett - took his opportunities. 5

Hogan - disappointing again.  I expect more. Potential but not engaged.3

Harmes - in and out. 5.

ANB - Needs another week.4

Dawes - marking time. 3

Gawn - another good game. Might sneak a Brownlow vote. Deliberate handball out in 4th was disappointing.

Tyson - loves the conditions. Prolific and won the midfield. 8

N.Jones - best on ground. 9

Brayshaw - pass score 5.

Hunt has had a better year than Petracca, Oliver or Brayshaw. Nobody could have predicted that. He is not tiring just gaining experience.

should be pointed out that brashaw only has 58% game time for 20 possessions, so he's certainly finding the ball, but not always capitalising on his disposals. bad conditions and being a little rusty didn't help. need to give him more time and he'll be ok

He'll be ok ?

Brayshaw will be a frigging super duper star.

i was talking short-term. he was copping a bit of flack on land with some wanting him dropped.

Hogan did not look interested at all yesterday. Rubbish conditions for a key forward but Watts provided far more competitiveness. 

Jones and Tyson were fantastic and Petracca showed some salivating signs.

Petracca - makes me hard

 

Hunt had a good game, just because he doesn't break the line every time he gets the ball doesn't mean he's tiring or cooked, just means he's learning.

Tyson was BOG in the voting in the Nine Sunday Footy Show, Channel 7 Sunday and in the Sunday Age. I think he should get a lot more praise than " slow to offload".

    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.
