Get the feeling DD wants to use more than three words? Nice punctuation effort, particularly the use of the forward slash and some capitalisation, to try to stay within Joeboys format.

Melksham I think was the only player that really struggled after quarter time. OMac and TMac held up the defense extremely well and were rarely beaten from the 2nd onwards. Salem, Vince and Lewis were the generals across half back that dictated play. Jetta was simply a superb defender all game and didn't make a mistake.

Very impressed by ANB in the second half. I thought one of the best on the ground in the 3rd quarter.

One can argue about the merits of individual players, but we won the game through the contributions over the match from all players. In short, it was a team effort.

At some point the ball will start sticking for Weideman, and we're gonna have a player when that happens.

Yesterday though I found he was pretty unclean, and it hurt on occasion.

Etihad, Saints. 4 goals down and won by 5. When was the last time we did that?  Savour  the win. Next hoodoo to broken?  No longer Carlton''s biartch.

yes 18 matches and 16 have been poor. Constant mistakes causing goals either from turnovers, missed marks, fumbles ... all simple errors. He shows signs but has been fully backed by the coaching hierarchy. He gets the nod by Goodwin unless he cops an injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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

    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.
