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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
