I found it extremely difficult to separate my top three.  A lot was asked of them, and they did the red and blue proud in demanding circumstances.  The next tier was also difficult, and a few were unlucky not to feature.

5.  Watts 

4.  Hibberd

3.  Hunt

2.  Jetta

1.  Petracca

1. Oliver 4.80 / 1st - just over Hibberd....over use of handball when a quick kick i50 will do just as much damage a high percentage of time

2. Hibberd 4.08 / 2nd

3. Watts 2.93 / 11th - no hit out stats included but a 2.93 score around the ground was only bettered by Big Maxy in Rnd 2 vs the Blues where he scored 3.28!

4. Garlett 3.73 / 8th - our only effective forward who also played a fantastic 2nd half much of it up the field, admittedly most of the good work after half time.

5. Hunt 4.03 / 3rd - ran out of steam with about 10 to go in the 3rd but was brilliant up till then.

6. T-Mac 3.95 / 4th - undid some of his solid early work in the 2nd half with some costly one on one losses but he was taking their best forward.

Michael Hibberd's terrific debut was rewarded with plenty of points but Clayton Oliver was very good too and he increases his lead on the progressive points table.

57. Clayton Oliver
42. Jack Watts
41. Nathan Jones
28. Jayden Hunt
23. Jeff Garlett

The first four were easy (although ordering them was hard). The last two were near impossible to identify.

6. Hibberd

5. Oliver

4. Hunt

3. Watts

2. Melksham (yes, truly)

1. Vince (yes, truly)

Viney was great in the first quarter, Petracca struggled manfully and creatively in patches, and Tom McDonald was good when he wasn't actually anywhere near Jack Reiwoldt.

Incredible to see that Viney does not have a single vote, what a strange year he is having so far.

Watched the game AGAIN on replay. Oliver was a bull but ineffective in disposals. 30 plus possessions but should use handballs more wisely

 10 turnovers... ouch.

He can be a Star but needs to run and deliver. The kid must be taught how to use his power. His extract to GARLETT  showed his ability.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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
