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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    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
