Jones - career best game

Viney - continued disapppointing season

Salem - slow and indecisive 

Watts - played with heart

Petracca - missing when needed

Gawn - please hurry back

Tyson - played little part

Oliver - couldn't get involved

Stretch - some glaring errors

Kent - a pleasing return

Melksham - little to commend

Hannan - couldn't get involved

Vince - was rarely noticed

T.McDonald - stood up well

O.McDonald - was often lagging

Weideman - not the answer

Hunt - an excitement machine

Neal-Bullen - has few tricks

Garlett - didn't take chances

Smith - all at sea

Jetta - was almost flawless

Harmes - not a forward

Melksham continues to cop a bagging unfairly, he was good yet again.

And I would hardly describe Tim Smith's debut as "all at sea".

Hunt was amazing, but like others, he hit the wall  late in the game.

Not your best work Joeboy

I usually agree with most of your post mortems but not today. This is a game that if we slotted 3 or 4 out of 10 easy shots for goal we would have won. Throw in a star ruckman out early and a game played where we have lost 20 or so out of the last 22 and I contend that the players werent as bad as you claim.

I think inexperience in hannon wied and smith contributed but all in all we had a crack to say the least.

I know my watching was on TV, but I cannot believe some of the ratings given.

Watts : played with heart Plus a lot of skill. Plus should have silenced ALL doubters

Neal Bullen : Put in all day

OMac : Top 1%

TMac & Jetta: Bloody terrific

Stretch : Improved each match.

Petracca : Provided a focal point

Salem: a go-to machine

Oliver : Involved all right

Apart from their kicking I think today was one of the best efforts you could ask of a young still developing side. Proud of them

I tend to agree. I haven't been his biggest fan, he was woeful in round 1, but has been good since, with the odd mistake thrown in, like every other player.

Me Too ! I thought him serviceable today! Still needs to get body on body and do some pro running in summer with a running coach to get him at least looking like he can run! Still looks slow

I agree. This is sheer cruelty. Just consider how he compares with Tmac at the same stage. We were one tall short on the backline which made Hawkins' day too easy

What hasn't been noticed by many was the work and time Geelong put into Oliver. 

Make no mistake - Blicavs played a hard hard tag - a good choice as Clarrie couldnt get his arms up into the clear as Blicavs was so tall. Then he used his running capacity to run off him, and kicked a few. 

Clarrie didnt have the tank to go with him and this was one match up we didnt fix the longer it went on. Cost us offensively and defensively and was a rare piece of good coaching by Scott. 

Other than that - Geelong have no system. None. Their entire game revolves around selwood or dangerfield winning the clearance and tumble punting it to hawkins and hoping for the best. Some of their supporters were incredibly smug in the last and a few were complaining about the vocal dees fans.

Well, they managed to beat a team that beat themselves. I can't remember a team so reliant on so few players, it's absurd!

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
