Actually agree - no one rates -you’ve possibly overstated how good ( bad ) they all were !! Perfect call they were terrible - can’t do the basics like mark. 

My three word summary 

Pathetic - Amateur -Sad !

Posted

Fritsch -  our cleanest player

His game wasn't world beating but he won some huge 1/1s and his skills in and around the contest and at ground level were excellent. 

Hunt - Handy up forward. 

Hunt played well up forward, and deserves his spot in the side. Credit where credit is due, he is trying hard to reinvent himself and signs are promising.

He's playing like a guy who's missed a heap of footy and has also missed the gym. Looked more effective forward than on a wing, and he sure as hell isn't playing down back with his lack of will for the contest.

Right now I'm thinking the best case scenario is getting some VFL in to him and maybe he has another few cracks at games later in the year, he's not lightening which I said when we got him but I think he has enough pace and skill to be something, but he looks entirely like a player who needs another preseason training at a high level before he'll play well.

I'm thinking its time we get back to the draft this year and get in some talent. because we are lacking much.

Posted (edited)

I agree with some of Joeboy's work, but others are a bit off to my mind. 

Jones - Playing dumb football

Viney - Starting to spark

T. McDonald - Not a #1 forward

O.McDonald - Kept losing man

Jetta - career worst game

Hibberd - just a shadow

Brayshaw - only shining light

Gawn - should have dominated

Harmes - Puts in effort

Oliver - Take the shot!  

Hunt - Brave and threatening

Fritsch - Must play forward

Petracca - Take The Shot!!!

Lockhart - Lively but limited

Salem - Only decent kick

Melksham - Terrible hands

Weideman - Can kick straight

Kolodjashnij - Brave.  Getting better. 

C.Wagner - Not the worst

J. Wagner - Hopeless. 

Frost - [censored] weak contests

Neal -Bullen - continued underwhelming season

I really like this three word summary, JB. Thanks. I'd add:

Backs:

1. Guard a man

2. One man up

Mids:

1. Run both ways

2. Kick to us

Forwards:

1. Make some space

2. Mark one, occasionally

Coaches:

1. Are you blind?

2. Earn your pay

Agree:

backs one man up just drives me crazy!

mids run both ways, in particular Jones just awful example as Captain, I’m above chasing!

forwards make some space, agree 100%, don’t all run to same space!

coaches: Backline disorganised, would love to hear from someone who attends training, they can’t possibly coach lets all fly together?

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
