Jones - was embarrassingly inept

Viney - rarely found teammates 

Gawn - dominated the centre

Oliver - many meaningless possessions 

Brayshaw - same as Oliver 

Melksham - showed some composure 

Stretch - a momentum killer

Salem - steady and skilled

Harmes - showed little sparkle 

Hore - still learning craft

Lewis - painful to watch

Neal-Bullen - not a forward 

McDonald - looked more comfortable 

Frost - 3 excellent quarters

Fritsch - no second efforts

Smith - just a plodder

Garlett - failed to impress 

Petracca - disappointing yet again

Hibberd - impressive new role

Lockhart - was rarely sighted

Weideman - inept and unsighted

Very generous, competed ok in the air but still gave away a stupid free kick to a wingman 10 meters out on a high ball. Fumbled everything.

Hunt is not a footballer. He’s an athlete but not a footballer.

Lewis - Keep your feet

Seriously, that's the first sign the game has passed you by.

It's time mate, get out now while you can...the only redemption is looking back on a great career.

You just don't have it to redeem yourself on the field any more...

Greatly undervalued Stretch & Hore and greatly overrated Tom MacDonald. 

Give it up you people. Any one of you played any decent footy?. That ball was coming into Tigers forward line at a million miles an hour and the backs had no hope however battled hard and it could have been a lot worse of a loss without the likes of TMac  who did well along with Frost,Salem and Hore . The forwards and Mids let them down AGAIN big time.

Viney - Learn team footy

Time & again Jack gets in the way of teammates &/or kicks blindly when he should have given off to a player in a better position.

He does my head in. Cost us both their goals in the 3rd...

Remember when we were really horrible (circa 2013) N.Jones was guilty of the same things?

 

They dont trust their their teammates to execute & try to take on too much.

WTF? He hasn't had 3 good quarters for the season, let alone this game. Frost had been the beneficiary of the omac hate on here, but seriously the guy has no football IQ, looks lost whenever the ball is not directly in front of him, and turns out over horribly at least a few times a game. All while just doing a specific job, not playing a zone like the rest of the defenders.

No they are both just average players with one attribute and that is agression/hardness.

Harsh on T.Mac kept Lynch to 1 goal. I thought he was good.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
