Harmes gets tackled high - play on.  Will cost us a goal.

Yep.

Showed the replay. Harmes hit around the neck twice.

Agree with all of that.

I think the knocks on the Mac's disposal is valid in some respects, but, you only need to watch Tom clunk some great marks across half back to see his value to the side.  Oscar will only continue to improve as well, and when our midfield provides the right support they look good.

Oh God yeah re disposal. Especially brain fade silly disposal like the seams last year.  No one could doubt that can be an issue.  If they could clean that up they'd be two of the best in the comp.

One of the worst piece of play i have seen from off.

Weed is not read, Petracca [censored] himself and panicked.

WA based SEN callers have Oliver BOG at half time

also said that in discussion with Mish Cowan that she'd picked Oliver as a future Brownlow winner. 

Good eye for talent, Cowan, shame we lost her.

Garland got the memo - play on as soon as you get it - I like it, he's playing well.

Oliver a gun but caught out by Priddis sneaking forward on him...will learn.

Viney doing what I said he does on another post, trying to do too much, poor decision making...not sure the captaincy is going to help him this year.

ANB still VFL level at the mo, Harmes probably the same along with some others.

The real concern is the ball getting over the back to WC forwards (mainly Lecras)...this happened continually against the Saints and cost us badly...not good that we haven't adjusted the game plan to stop this.

Not being at the ground it's difficult to see where the problem is coming from, maybe turnovers (in which case I can't blame the game plan) or maybe just poor positioning (a game plan or learning issue) but it could be just the game plan.

Another one Rjay.

I would add Weids to the list of VFL level players up there. He is still a pre-season or 2 away from having an impact. I would bring Tim Smith in ASAP.

Even Jordan Lewis is missing simple targets at the moment.  It's the only way the Eagles are scoring right now.  We dominated the last few minutes and couldn't make it count.

Half time check -

Did Oliver really just get 20 disposals in a half? And kicking more than handballing, too?

Tackle count is dismal.

Jake Spencer being effective up forward is interesting.

I don't have as much of a personal obsession with McDonald and Garland's errant kicking as some (many?) do, but it's not a good thing that they have 3 rebound 50s each when nobody else has more than one. That's not how it is supposed to work back there.

Also, HA HA Hawthorn.

Tidy up our disposal and we would be 25 points in front.

Getting killed on the counter attack which is not really surprising with the zone defense we have. Going to see a lot of it this year.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    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.

    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.
