I'm genuinely surprised to see Petracca get votes. I had no difficulty identifying the top 4 in my votes but struggled with the last two, but at no time did I think Petracca's game was vote-worthy. In fact, I wondered after the game whether he might be close to a demotion to Casey. Amazed how we can see things so differently.

Maxy consolidates his lead as Clarrie and Salem move into second and third spots respectively. Harmes consolidates fifth spot putting daylight between him and sixth and making it a 5 horse race.

I thought he was great. He had a direct assist for our first goal and brought the ball down in Hunt's direction against two opponents to score our second. There was another assist that should have been a goal and a number of times where he either won the ball or crashed in and allowed others to do so. He's not getting huge disposal numbers and his set shot was horrible, but he had a big impact.

I didn't see this game..  I listened to it.

But I am concerned about how some of our players perceive of how they are going.  and how we judge them...  effecting their own perceptions of themselves.   Some players are too hard on themselves,  and some, maybe not hard enough,  in some ways

    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.

    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
