Other than May and obviously Salem our defenders should be told they are never ever allowed to do anything than kick the ball as far as they absolutely [censored] can. We should have been ahead all day, dumb turnovers cost us and let the stagers cry to the umpires and keep them in the game.

Apart from a few grubbers his decision making was the best it’s been I reckon.

Very enjoyable game. As I said during the game thread because of our season it had no stress for me but when we hit the front by eight odd points i I must confess to some nervousness.

Pleasant day at the mcg.

Thought May had a good game.

And boy those great overhead marks in the last few minutes.

Looking forward to seeing a lot of smiling faces at Casey game tomorrow at Coburg

Nah, come on dude, just let us all enjoy a rare win.

We are in this together as Dees fans.

Didn't mean to put a downer on it for you guys who watch for the wins in pointless games in failed seasons. Enjoy it.

Just my opinion that we were fortunate with their injuries. Obviously a win is a good outcome.

My wife banished me to the front lawn until after the match for apparently yelling too much. Now I have to catch the replay. 

Well done Demons!

Not a failed game at all if it can get some confidence back into Tom. 

WINS are always important

No game is pointless - I don't think there has ever been a scoreless game. Boom tish.

But seriously every game they play is important. Every game.

Was interesting to see May barking at the players in the back 50 and setting them up from all standing bunched together.

Just need to focus on the younger players and hope like hell they learn to settle and calmly hit their target.

I still have concerns. Our lack of pace was on display, and Freo still scored mostly from turnovers across our half forward and easy transition. Would we have won had Freo not been two down? Maybe not but Hill and co. played out the game and had the pace and fitness to make up that lack of rotations.

One thing I really liked was Frost and Hore reading off one another. Frost can be a massive liability but he plays with confidence. Hore is Febey 2.0. Salem is all class. I thought our defensive 50 did very well today.

Overall it was a solid albeit frustrating performance. We can match it with top teams no doubt but we still have a lot of bad habits and structural issues that need ironing out.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
