I read it all champion - don't let the fact I read above the level of a 16 year old get under your skin

The analysis is average at best, and given this is a public forum, people have the right to criticise posts like this (especially when the post itself is so widely critical of the team).

Jog on mate, I'm sure Joe's a big boy and can handle himself without you.

Hmm I am very confident that I did not say you could not criticise. I suggested  that if upsets you so much don't read the thread.

Hogan - was understandably quiet

Petracca - played in bursts

Lewis - important but slow

Gawn - had limited influence 

Oliver - great first half

Hibberd - continued to inspire

Stretch - little to enthuse

Kent - was mostly unsighted

Frost - outstanding all game

Melksham - regularly poor disposal

Hannan - had little involvement 

Pedersen - didn't offer much

Vince - experience often showed

T.McDonald - only winning forward

O.McDonald - safe and effective

Hunt - loose, rebounded well

Neal-Bullen - some vital touches

Garlett - had limited influence 

Jetta - one memorable interception 

Wagner - played his part

Harmes - was rarely sighted

Smith - nervous and limited

Tyson - overrated and unsighted

 

Hey Joeboy did you watch the Richmond game? Just wondering if you could do your 3 word analysis on a team that actually got thumped.

Jetta - star, star, star.

Hogan - one effort player.

Smith - Deer in Headlights

 

Agree, I know he was coming back from a long layoff but did he get anything from playing . I have said it  before, Hogan needs a few quarters if not a full game in the VFL "rag dolling" a few defenders like he did in his first year with us. help him get his confidence up and right for the finals.

Not sure this is worth discussing. Moving right along.

Hunt- broke Cripps' leg

wonder if it counted as an effective kick in his stats. certainly should have as a pressure act

I feel very sorry for Cripps (yes, truly). But having watched the vision of it, I'm extremely thankful that Hunt didn't get injured. It could so easily have been the other way round with Hunt seriously injuring his lower leg by kicking into the back of Cripps' leg.

Both players should be commended for their courage and their willingness to play hard. Both have the potential to have outstanding careers.

Hannan - out of nowhere

 

On my second watch of the replay I noticed 6 more crucial impacts he had on the game. It was far from his best match but his pressure, clean pick up and use of the footy is top 5 in the team I believe. Loves a tackle to boot. His fairly unique kicking style allows him to get ball to foot unbelievably quickly as we have seen in some of his pack snaps for goal in previous weeks but this week it was more in assists. His left is a cannon as well. 

 

Petracca - on the verge

 

Consistency is improving and his ability to win his own ball, spin and weave out of trouble and then with poise deliver to a good option is going to be what makes him a star. Not his contested marking, burst speed and love of a goal although they will help. One passage of play in the third sadly didn't result in a goal but was a sign of future. As everyone else around him fumbled we won 3 hard ball gets in a row in traffic with shear will and ability in the forward 50. Will be a match winner on a regular basis ala Dangerfield or Gray in the future

Centre bounces - too inexperienced sometimes (Why were Clarrie, Hannan & Trac at centre bounces together?)

The experience was sitting in the Grandstand, thought you would be aware of that. I didn't expect to win, so i am very proud of what those young kids did. 

We are still in the hunt...

Petracca was one of our best.. 25 posessions and nine contested ball. drop Kent

I can see the potential of Smith though.  Good size and skills. Just needs 5-6 games to be settled at AFL level.

yep, this guy has heaps of potential...

Watched 2nd quarter again - Kent actually more prominent that I realised at least 6 times

    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.
