Needed a 15th mark to omit the "I guess", P?

His hands were back to their reliable best, but his kicking (field and goal) were sub par to put to mildly. His job is to kick goals.

Workrate was there but his body language isn't great atm. I recognise that he wasn't helped by the Weed selection and overall he sneaks into the top six on a dour day.

I wonder if we all just need to get over Jessie's body language a bit sometimes.  No one would care if him and the team play well and that's the bigger issue for me.

Whilst I realise this thread is probably more about today's game than the season overall, my personal overall pick for player of the year would have to be Jack Watts I think.

Whilst it is hard to go past big bearded Max, I'm just rapped that Jack has stood up and delivered what he has for the team this year.  I think he has played every bit as important a part in our improvement as big Max, with the critical role he plays for the team.  Whilst I also love Max and think he deserves all the accolades, I really respect the way Jack has finally started to answer the critics.

I also feel there is yet more improvement in Jacks game, which is very exciting.

I agree that it's his job to kick goals, and missing goals that were so important in the context of the game definitely take his rating down.  

But if he'd kicked 4.0 instead of 1.3 we'd have all had him at 6 votes and licking the mud off his boots, such was his dominance.  I don't think missing goals, in a game where bloody everyone missed goals, scales his performance down as far as a scrape over the line, give him a vote by default type of effort.  

As they say though, opinions are like arseholes, and this week mine seems to stink.  That's how it goes isn't it?

I hadn't noticed too bad a stench for what it's worth.

Hogan cost us four goals with his shocking kicking.  How many marks does it take to offset that?  He and Petracca need to be sent to kicking school in the off-season to sort their [censored] out.  If they'd scored the goals they bloody well should have we won today even with our poor play.

I reckon If we squeeze Tmac into that top 5 (maybe at Watts' expense) it will match the club B & F.

Top 10 all but locked in.

Gawn a deserved runaway winner and Viney pretty safe in second spot.

Jones and Watts can't be caught but the weekend's game will decide who finishes third and fourth.

Fifth spot is still up for grabs to be decided between Tyson, Vince and Jetta.

Will be very surprised if the demonland top 10 aren't the same top 10 in the b&f. Order will shuffle around slightly.

Can't see anyone else getting in there except maybe Bugg getting higher votes for the role he plays.

I love Kent and he was my pick (along with watts) in the breakout player of the next season thread.

He would struggle for a top 10 finish for mine.

He does alot right and has potential to become elite but still does way too much wrong. Like overhead marking and running backwards with flight of the ball.

    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

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. 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

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. 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

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
