I'm surprised at the love for Langdon.  His man got away from him in their 50 repeatedly and in return he missed his chances in attack for us. 

He worked his a... off all night covering for his teammates who didn't show.

The 3rd Q it looked like the Swans v Langdon, the kid tried to get us back in the game but had to carry way too many.

He worked hard, he got lots of ball and lots of ground, but in terms of the scoreboard, his contribution is basically the winning margin for the Swans.  His man kicked two goals (from uncontested marks) and set up two others.  Langdon missed two set shots, one of which resulted in a goal to the swans, and had no assists.  He's not alone in that by any means.  Jones cost us two goals and plenty of other people missed easy shots, but I do factor it into my assessment of his game.

I’m still too angry to vote. Weakest bunch of ?

May I join you in your anger. I also feel too angry to vote! What a shame it’s come to this!

I should add I feel dirty giving Langdon and Gawn votes of the same value as given to May and Petracca last week.

I'm sure it's been discussed before, but maybe the Demonland POTY could adopt a different voting methodology next year? My suggestion would be to keep the concept of top 6 players, but instead of an automatic, unweighted 6/5/4/3/2/1, change to a score out of 10 for each of those players. For example, last week I might have given May 10 and Petracca 9 (and the other four players probably scores between 5 and 7). For last night's game, I would have given Langdon 6, Gawn 4, May 4, Neal-Bullen 3, Oliver 3, and Tomlinson 2.

And the coaches agree with Demonland.  Only Langdon and Gawn polled in the AFLCA votes.  3 to Ed and 1 to Max.  6 Swans players scored votes which is no surprise at all.

Christian Petracca has a good lead.

    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
