Frost - think/act quicker

Gawn - never gave up

Tmac - much better effort

Stretch - earned another game

Garlett - worth a try

Smith - that, and better

Melksham - showed up mids

Salem - one with class

The rest - can't be bothered

Agree. No ability to judge the footy. Needs to go back to Casey. 

Probably needs delisting to tell the truth. His run and pace is exciting to watch,  until he butchers the disposal or fumbles when receiving the footy. Also goes missing during huge swathes of the game. [censored] it's depressing.

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

Jones has been a good servant, Finished now. Viney is not a Captain. Captain Chaos for mine.

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 idea.  

When a team is so slow, Frost stands out like a beacon.  His tackling has gone up a notch too.

 

My only criticism of him is to run and take them on more.

He has speed and strength but no idea really how to use it. He is consistently out maneuvered or pushed under the ball when in good positions. When he does run with it he'll either fluff the kick or send it to an out number then stand there watching as it comes back over his head. He's an athlete not a true footballer

He is not a defender.

Should be played on a wing with his height and 

speed. When Lever and May return Goodwin might actually work it out.

I thought they should have moved him forward last night onto Grimes or vlauston, told him to stay with them and only run forward if we can get it over the top. He will stick with a man, but his inability to read the play is a big issue, if he's taken to the ball he's then half a chance, but that's a much bigger issue in defence

He & Hunt on opposite wings. I hope when May/Lever r back Goodwin does it. I've thought they should be wingers 4 ages. Also Fritter must be a forward not a defender.

Love the idea of Hunt in principle but he is not a  natural footballer.

Fritta is a forward, once again re-iterated.

No...  I mean we've got to import some players at the draft this year,  and reboot for better play  in 2020.

Nothing to do with grand finals, if that's what you meant.

Wing or Half-forward...  I think Wing, and he can help our inside F50's.

Jones needs to be put either forward pocket or back pocket, or back in the middle, his pace and ball skills are being found out on wing. He’s been an absolute champion of the club and needs to be able to go out on his terms!

Did he play wing against Richmond? He certainly played large periods of the game in the backline and spent some time as the starting 4 at centre bounces, but I don't recall him being used on the wing. Thankfully. My preferred spot for him right now is as a small forward with occasional runs on the ball.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
