Bit harsh on Braysahw and Hore. We looked a lot more purposeful with Max, Clarrie, Gus and Harmesy around the ball.

It was a better blend this week against a tough side. Viney disappoints - limited options in his game now.

Hard on Wiedeman.    can be excused until we learn to kick accurately or to space. In the mean time he continues to learn his craft the hard way.Mc Donald on the other hand needs a rest or spell at Casey.

Another disgraceful effort by you JoeBoy - makes me wonder if you actually ever go to the game.

Fritsch - best game 2019

Brayshaw - shades of 2018

Harmes - our prime mover

Petracca - another step forward

Weid - finally showing something

Salem : Got sore head

Petracca : Strong at ground level

Garlett, Spargo : Too many fumbles

Harmes : Strong Competitive midfielder

Brayshaw : Attacking Inside Mid

Brayshaw : Tighten disposal

Team : Only kick to space /Make them run into kick

Hannan : Learn right foot

Gawn : Great Great Great

Hore : Find of Season

Lever : Settled and survived

May : Showed good promise

Frost : Missed him (did not think I would ever say this)

Oscar Mc : Cannot be blamed this week

Clarrie : Three more blinks per disposal = massive improvement to side

Tom Mc : Too many roles

I thought Harmes was good, and tried hard!

Weid was much better, and looked more confident. He'll get better, especially once he starts getting some better delivery

Trac was much better in the midfield.

Fritter was decent. I think he provides much better value up at half forward.

Weid was our best forward.

Tmac should go back to Casey against Freo - he’s not going to find the form at this level. He’s had 12 weeks.

I’m not 100% convinced he’s injured. Has not once alluded to it in interviews and has continuously talked about his form issues and ways to try and get out of his slump.

Both he and the Weid DO NOT lead to ball carriers. Both drop back and oppo just cut us off to often.

Petracca was good today...the only one who didn't fumble & looked poised with ball in hand.

Looking at our forward line today and most of the season,  l reckon there are a lot in the queue ahead of him. Probably all the forwards actually.

In a decent side with a properly functioning forward line l think he would go ok.

I actually agree with you,  apart from Hunt.  Isn't he our leading goal kicker this year?

Problem is, he should be taking leaps and bounds, not steps. He started well, but I felt went missing for long periods in the game.

He is. What an indictment!

Hunt for me is a back flanker every day of the week and twice on Sundays. We miss his run and carry greatly.

Do we? For the most part our midfield and backline performed admirably yesterday. There was some skill errors coming out of the back 50 but that was attributable to collingwoods pressure and besides God knows Hunt isn't going to help with skill.

If we are going to have a pure defencive forward like ANB was last year I think Hunt is a good choice. At least he has genuine pace.

    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
