Balic had a bright start to the season and while he has played okay for the last few weeks his game seems to have plateaued. He needs to move it up a notch to give himself real chance.

Looking forward to dominant second half of the season from him.

I like the look of Petty. Baker has a crack, as does Balic.

Tyson, Frost and Bugg wont be returning anytime soon.

They are really missing the presence of Garlett and Tim.Smith. Weideman doing nothing.

Surely the absence of both Stretch and Garlett means that one of them, presumably Jeffy, is playing on Monday instead of Hannan?

2 last quarter goals from Balic papers over the cracks that he's had a stinker today.

Also just the 13 possessions for Hunt. His career really treading water right now

Gee, Rawlings is impressive- wouldn’t mind betting he gets a senior gig one day. Great to see Casey play the same high pressure contested footy as our firsts. Everyone is singing from the same songbook at last.

Yeah Chook. Been thinking the same thing over the last 6 weeks. It's starting to click into place

Hannan has a fitness test on Sunday IIRC

PS... sorry as Beetle points out below it's Melksham

Melksham has to pass a fitness test for his ankle, hence stretch not playing.

If Weed had a bad first half, this last quarter he's been the opposite.

Balic was signed to a one year contract.

For those who’ve seen him at VFL level this year, do we extend?

Watched about 50%. Answer is yes for me.

Not for mine. He's one of those Viv Michie/Ben Newton/Shane Valenti type of players who will display quite a few tricks at VFL level but inevitably won't bridge that gap to AFL standard

Weid could have had a few. Had two lace out passes that he was cut in front of by JKH and Balic. Quiet first half but worked his way into the game nicely. 

Was Hunt tagged? Just really felt he couldn’t get into the game at all. 

And on the balic debate. He’ll be extended. Looks too good to just let him leave.

Baker, Petty, Spargo and Fritsch...  Jason Taylor has cleaned up at the draft once again.

Tyson played like he really wants back in the senior team.

Casey will win the flag.

    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.
