A few things that I absolutely loved:

Gawn work around the ground, some of the contested marking was amazing

we actually beat up the Hawks, that team has intimidated us for too many years

Jack Watts and his new found Mongrel, went after Mitchell, went for contested balls, bull dozed his way through packs

Viney and Jones

 

such an awesome afternoon, bring on the Power!

The best part about that was I thought Watts was gone when he ran in to the two Dawks. In a split second I went from "shit, we've stuffed this up" to "OMG I THINK WE MIGHT WIN". Gives me shivers seeing it again.

Bloody awesome kick by Watts and finish by Tyson.

Where do people rate Tyson now? Anyone rate him yet? Has had an outstanding and, dare I say it, 'elite' second half of the season. Averaging 25 disposals this year too (career best). I reckon he's going to be special, because when he's on song he's a goal kicking mid and they're worth their weight in gold.

Imagine him playing alongside a more experienced midfield too. 

Funnily enough, all season I've thought dom has been going well, and compare him a lot to rory Sloane. So I just used footywire to compare the averages, rory averages 1 kick more a game, similar marks, scores and score involvements and only 2 tackles less a game.

His numbers seriously stack up this year.

When is he out of contract? Very important re-signing. You never hear much about Dom and his love of the club, unlike some others

He is a star.  Opposition supporters drool over him, hes judged too harshly by a lot of posters here. Hes now a fair chance to win the Bluey, after coming 2nd in 2014. Mind you it would need to be some effort to beat out Gawn or Viney.  But he has been superb.

I wonder if Damian Barrett has seen him play yet?

It's because Watts is now a gun, he takes the contest on, he isn't afraid to go in hard, and his skills and footy brain are elite.

Isn't it so bloody wonderful to see this guy blossom into a star?!

He won't leave. Out of contract next season and isn't a real extrovert type when it comes to that stuff. Loves the playing group amd gets on exceptionally well with coaches.

A mouthful, but accurate. Perhaps a worm bamboozler for short? :)

According to the AFL Rioli's bump on Oliver was one of the "best moments" of the round.

Pretty clear that he won't get cited.

I can't imagine the outcry if it had been the opposite. Clarry has had a few interesting moments this year, bitten and now this. He strikes me as a lad who doesn't forget things in a hurry.

Wonder how they rated scumbag Mitchell's punch in the face to Watts.

We would have been delighted to see the bump if it was Oliver giving it to Rioli. Fair play, carry on.

I think it was a fair bump.

The spear tackle was a different story.

I reckon we've managed Oliver superbly. This midfield. Seriously. So exciting.

Possibly, but still. He was in the VFL for several weeks and he looked like an elite clearance player against Hawthorn. For now, I'm taking him over Petracca and Brayshaw as our next big star

10 goals 8 for the year isn't exactly breaking the record books, but yeah he does seem to get forward for a goal more than others and hopefully he can keep bringing that up.

Certainly I think he's now edging ahead of his 2014 season so that's good progress after injury hurt him last year. I still think he needs an uninterrupted preseason or 2. He put on size this year but I think he can back that up and increase his endurance and speed.

He needs to kick the ball more when he's out in space and he needs to find a practical right foot kick to get the ball in to space when required. Just a safe chip on the right. Certainly his kicking has improved since the start of the year. 

His movement and hands around the contest have always been great and they are getting even better. His tackling needed work and he's improving in that regard.

A couple of times Rioli picked up players from the legs and drive them almost head first into the ground, reminded me of an illegal Rugby tackle. I think they actually paid a free against him for the first one then play on was called for the next. Surely these sorts of tackles constitute a dangerous tackle and would be worthy of being reported. Am I being too harsh?

 

No not at all. Cyril continually operates on the limits of what is acceptable. He is after all the master at tacking, a la Aaron Davey, except Aaron was fair. 

 A few years ago it was chicken winging players, that is Cyril grabbing players by one arm in a tackle but lifting their arms up and backward as they moved into a contest and causing maximum damage. We saw very similar behaviour yesterday. Attempted spear tackles on two occasions as well as the shirtfront on Oliver that was high but not paid, no doubt Cyril will get off but don't ask me why.

Well that would be a disgrace, and condones just lining blokes up and smashing them into next week. Seriously he gets such a golden run that bloke. he should get a month for that.

I agree, he looks the best of the 3 at this point in time. His play will be suited to tough finals footy.

He has lifted his game inside, in the clearances, this year. He is becoming utterly dominant at stoppages. With Viney, Jones and now Oliver all strong in that area, and the competition's best ruckman, we are now starting to really get somewhere in the midfield.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie
