Pity that some of the cream from both states are going to be missing including SA’s number one draft candidate Jason Horne-Francis and Arlo Draper and WA’s Neil Erasmus, JVR and a few others.

Just realised the game is in SA, I might head down for a look.

Anyone else having panic attacks as a tall forward kicks goals, called Lucas Cooke

It's Lukas but yes, had a little shudder.

 

Taj a little quieter that quarter but has had 9 possesions so far - equal 3rd highest in the game. Looks OK without starring.

Even second quarter with WA 4.7.31 heading SA 4.1.25. 

Taj had a quiet quarter and was beaten to a few contests. I think he was on Burgoyne at times who is a pretty slippery character.

It’s a bit windy out there and the standard is a bit ordinary. I like young Sheldrick who is a tough competitor and Williams of WA is looking solid as a forward/ruckman.

Yes. Sheldrick is very hard at the contest. Reminds me of another player who wears the number  7.

He looked gassed with a couple of chase down efforts in the 2nd half of that 2nd qtr. Just keep in mind that these guys on the wing haven’t got a big tank yet. I still would like to see more though

If the commentator says 'through the agency of' one more time I might have to put my laptop in the washing machine.

Especially when you’re chasing a Burgoyne!

3 quarter time and WA lost the lead but a late surge has them 9 points in front.

Taj got a few touches but the WA midfield is on top. Sheldrick continues to do well there for WA while Burgoyne for SA looks a definite player to me.

Lucas Cooke for SA has 3 goals - should have been 4.

Taj reasonably quiet for the statistician. He’s had plenty of game time. Scoreboard platters SA, WA should be a few goals at least in front. Very inaccurate. SA has a sniff.

WA win an exciting game by 10 points - 9.14.68 to 9.4.58.

Agree that Sheldrick was BOG. - he ran through and kicked the winning goal. For WA, Jack Williams in ruck and up forward looks a real prospect. SA fought hard but lacked the midfield grunt. Lucas Cooke kicked four.

Taj gathered the odd possession and took a nice mark late but most likely stamped himself as a late pick in the draft at best.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
