You would have thought we won with such a glowing write up ?

Thanks Joeboy you are my go to thread.

Goodwin... change the gameplan

Perhaps he did slightly but it's still no good

Very generous assessment of Trac's game

Trac was huge.  My only issue with him is that he keeps looking to dish rather than taking the instinctive shot.  His goal-scoring instincts have been trained out of him.

His yips will get sorted out, but his contested work is as good as anyone in our team.  As I said last week, he makes scores happen (for us, not them).

Frost - made an impact

I know Frost is far from popular on here but you can't deny the impact he had on this game. He was valuable and was there when we needed someone to step up and do something.

Salem - a f-ing gun

We might be seeing his best footy this season. Very good by foot and hard as nails.

Good call.  I'd rather him ping from 50 than lower the eyes.  He doesn't have touch.

Melbourne won't let him go with this instinct until Hocking brings super-goals in @ 2021.

Stretch - play tabletennis twitchy

Petracca - Stretch with muscles

Lewis - wig or dye?

Weren't many better

Clarry, Salem, Jones, Melk, McDonald were all better. I'd love it if he delivered on his potential but he doesn't do enough. He's never struck me as a deep thinker but It looks like he's over-thinking his footy, almost trying too hard.

Frost - Reliable in defence

Petracca - Practice goal kicking!

Marty - Watch me Trac

TMac - Beat the clock

Game - Magic 18 seconds

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
