He was poor today plain and simple did not mater how tall he is. I said nothing about his height.

the simple fact is he did pull his wait.

First year player who is clearly showing the signs of having played too many games. Badly in need of a rest.

Fair call od ! I reckon he was running out of petrol tickets a couple of weeks ago. And yes, size does come into it. He's only 18 and has yet to muscle up or develop core strength. I would have doubts about his current ability to withstand the rigours of a final.

Give him time though.

I thought all 22 did well.

Tyson was good, so I'll put that down to the usual tiresome sledging he cops.

Spargo wasn't bad, but wasn't good either. His spot could be up for grabs going into finals if the likes of Garlett really get going again, but I'm beginning to lose faith that could happen.

Watching Jeffy yesterday he doesn’t look interested, wouldn’t surprise if he pulls pin or we trade

Bought this up before he got selected again, take a 2nd rounder and be done with it.

Where are all the Jones, Tyson and Handgun Hannan haters? Its taken 21 rounds to find our perfect formula.

Would have to be Viney for Spargo 1st week of finals.

A lot of us said he needed the rest and JKH should have played instead.

They ran the ball out of our forward line without any pressure and that was his role and ANB's.

Spargo as I said before will be a good player for us.

As for ANB he is a game killer for us. His turnovers and fumbles are so momentum shifting.

I don't know about his grunt work I hardly saw him lay a tackle, or get close to an opponent, except when he had the ball and then turned it over.

Anyway well done guys you deserve your finals chance after a very good year.

Win next week and we get the chance to pay back the Cats on the G.

I usually agree with your views, but you are really wrong about nibbler.

I thought Joeboy had most correct except i agree with most here Dom T was good and Spargo did more than enough and will learn get better and play plenty of great games in the future !

 

three words - Great Team Effort

Not bad Joeboy probably a little nice to OMac and Brayshaw on the day, the Eagles were playing through Oscars man when they got back into the game and Brayshaw is still a poor decision maker.

Harmes - MFCs most underrated 

Seriously, this guy is becoming a champion. He has been smashing top end opposition players and getting heaps of his own footy. I am a massive fan, he has taken the biggest leap of the players on our list this season.

I though spargo lost us the game last week against the Swans and almost this week through his inexperience. This can’t happen in finals. For me, Jesse Garret needs to come in for him.

There were 21 other players on the field against the swans with more experience who wasted the opportunity. Poor post to blame Spargo for that collective debacle.

Did you see him turn the ball over 7 times last week against the Swans and drop a crucial easy mark and have 14 possies at 50% effectiveness? Did you see him fumble a number of other possible possies? Did you see him get in the way of teammates? 

Did you watch him today turn over several possies? Did you watch him fumble several possible possies?

Look at the DL voting right alongside this post and despite playing every game, he is 19th in the voting, even behind Jeffy, who has only played a few games and been poor this year. Seems like most DL's agree about ANB. In that list of 25 players, IMO he is ahead of only Garlett. 

BTW he is a terrible set shot for goal.

IMO he is the worst player in the side. Yes someone has to be the worst and IMO he is the one. Sorry about that. Just stating an opinion.

I don't blame ANB for his play, I blame those that select him.

In the 3 years after crossing from Carlton he's kicked roughly 40, 30 and 40 goals for us

Then 2018 comes around & he's going like a busted arse - although has still kicked nearly 20 goals

He's just turned 29 and appears to still have his pace

It's be well worth doing some work to find out what the hell went wrong before firing him out of the cannon.

We're not exactly overcrowded with true small forwards

Disagree on Petracca. 0 tackles laid

Petracca is overrated around Mfc.

He gets a lot of latitude given, because of his touted talents.

 

Well I haven't seen him rip-open a game. yet.   Put up, or shut up, tracca.

 

He's more like a little quad bike, than some sort of truck.

He seemed to have checked out after requesting leave to go home late last year for a personal bereivement. When he came back it seemed his heart wasn't in it any more. His only good game was against Brisbane earlier this year.

He is a ANB hater - pay no heed

Hate is a pretty strong word to use  for a player of my club, who  I support,  but don’t rate as highly as you do.

He has had personal issues for a while, that might be the cause.

    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
