6 - Viney as good as he has been. Tried to do too much in the end. 

5 - Frost - so important and just took the game on. 

4 - Jones - really strong at the stoppages. 

3 - Oliver - Hodge loves him. So do I. 

2 - Lewis - such an important player for us. 

1 - Watts - we look so much better when he is in the ruck.

Jayden Hunt busted his absolute gut all day to put on some defensive pressure when we were flat early. No love?

He played a great game.

I just felt those I named were more influential overall.

I felt Jones played well but his inaccuracy early hurt him. Hibberd also played very well early on but went quiet at times. Tyson and Vince did some good things but were not damaging (for mine).

6.  Viney:  looks like a leader to me

5.  Frost:  going from strength to strength, and becoming a 'springboard' in the back half

4.  Oliver:  Clarrie did what Clarrie does.

3.  Lewis:  right place at right time and leadership

2.  Hunt:  his move forward was inspirational.  One to remember for the future!

1.  Jones: very strong around the contest, but some (unusual for him) wasteful disposal let him down at times.

6 Frost - Third quarter was immense. Took the game on with courage and meant Hunt's absence down back wasn't noticed.

5 Viney - Wow. I reckon a few of their players went sideways when they saw him coming. Getting back to his best and almost took a nice hanger along with a super goal.

4 Lewis - Started slowly (probably a bit nervous). But huge after half time.

3 Hunt - Switch to the forward line also made Goody look a master. Please don't play him there every week - we have others who can do that role - ie: Kent.

2 Jones - As with Jack Viney, in everything and part of the reason why even with McEvoy dominating, we won the clearances.

1 Vince - I struggled with my final vote, but Bernie did stick to the game plan and tried to switch it a lot. And I don't blame him for not knowing we only had 15 second left.

You thought Jonesy played very well Earl?

Whoops, edit made.

Other than Viney very difficult to give votes.  Our "catastrophic" first quarter was as poor as I've seen us play and that includes some of our pathetic performances immediately post Daniher and during the Neeld years.  That we righted the ship somewhat in the second and then dominated the third only made it even worse. So, for what was largely a 3 quarter effort:

6. Viney

5. Frost

4.Lewis

3.Tyson - he is very harshly judged here

2. Oliver - far too much handball but at least he wins his own ball

1. Vince - we are a far better midfield unit when he is in the guts because his first instinct is to kick, unlike the rest of them who want to throw around 1 metre handballs

Jones was horrid in the first quarter - at least three kicks straight to Hawthorn and two critical fumbles at clearance where he had first hands, lost the handle and Hawthorn cleared for two goals.  He improved during the game as a player of his experience and stature should, but when we needed his leadership early it was sadly lacking.

    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.
