can't agree on Hogan. Played well all game and made lots of opportunities for others.

Brendon Bolton - won't sleep tonight

His team got picked apart at the seams. Great performance from the Dee's, insipid performance by Carlton players.

Oliver gets 26 touches and 6 score involvements and we’re like “meh” 

I said that at half time in the game day thread. I thought he was average and only had 8-9 possessions, had a look and he was leading all with 14.

A broken finger and surgery earlier in the week will do that...!

Most are spot on, although the comments on Spargo are way off the mark.  Unless they want to rest him there is no chance he is getting dropped for Garlett.  His footy smarts, toughness and pressure acts are invaluable at the moment.

Jono Brown talked it up during the game, he ended up with 4 direct goal assists and a hand in multiple others. Great sign of maturity that he doesn't have to kick a bag to have a big impact on the game. Suggest joeboy has another look at the game.

Tough on Vince. He had one bad kick out and everyone acts like he's a massive liability. Been solid all season.

Yup he'll have one bad kick and at the same time be the player willing to take the risks successfully kicking down the corridor when our backs are against the wall. Really important player at the moment. Was more worried about him trying to take players out again rather then the one errant kick.

    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.

    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.
