Coughed up a goal through another turnover at half forward.  If we can fix that up then we'll be okay.  Eagles too good on the rebound if we continue to do it, though.

It's partly why we brought Hibberd in.

Looks like Melbourne of old with some of our decision making

Gee whiz, what was Dom Tyson thinking...kick it down the line if you don't have any options in the middle. Not sure he is a certainty for round 1. Very average thus far.

Turnovers are the big difference here, eagles have made us pay more than we have made their errors costly.

To those who can't watch:

Turnovers are what is killing us.  Eagles didn't make it count though so we've got time to make amends.  For us, Oliver, Melksham and ANB have probably been the pick of the players so far.  It's not as bad as others are making out, though.  We are well and truly in the game.

Garland barely VFL standard.

Tough call, can't see why all the garland hate here. No mention that JOnes has turned it over 4 times

Poor decisions by senior players not taking first option particularly Vince, Jones and Tyson. Good around the ball and defensively but just bad decisions and no movement in forward 50 (with a ruck, watts, weid and hogan not surprising). ANB, Melksham and Oliver our best.

Ball movement - good with some glaring shockers.

Horrible team defence once WCE get the ball across our half forward line.

Appalling decision making after a mark on multiple occasions.

OMac seems to notice every opposition player except his direct opponent. 

Clarry is a gun.

The sun glare is ridiculous.

No one else annoyed about that lazy effort from Watts on half forward where he scrubbed a kick along the ground because he was too slow getting back behind the mark?

I'm annoyed, I just chose not to post about it as I thought the 20 others in here at the moment would be all over something negative.

Haha thanks for the update.

I assumed that we had actually lost all the players we thought we had and replaced them with the 2013 version...... and Neeld was back coaching.

It never is. 

Setting up well for the most part, a few mistakes have let them in.

I really hate Vince playing in the backline. Tom and Oscar have been poor. Hurry up Frost!

Garland has been handy so has ANB.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.

    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.
