Baker stood up, May is awesome and after all the negative publicity around him last year I hope the media give him the praise he deserves. A great season. 

Langdon, wow just awesome, his gut running is fantastic. 

A great win and well done melbourne

While he didn't hit the scoreboard, I thought Mitch Brown was good for us tonight.  13 touches and 7 marks and he got up the ground to give us a target as well.  His experience was on full display throughout this game.

Makes the decision to drop him last week for Preuss look even worse than it already did.

Great observation I thought the same.

Agreed. Looked good down back when he was there too. Cool head. Underrated player imho.

We won a tight contested game that mattered. That is a good result.

We play essendon next week.

Hope that gold coast can beat the filth.

Let’s hope that we don’t do the Melbournian thing next week.

Pity the little b got up though. Would have been Melksham’s best moment for weeks.

A great win indeed.

But job is not done. Glad the players didn't over celebrate. Job is not done, as we need a few things to go our way.

On a personal note, I'm very proud of Charlie Spargo. Kid (yes he is only 20 years of age) cops it more then any other player on our list, and to see him play a significant role in tonight's win kudos to his extreme hard work off field.

He's one of the few forwards we have with actual 'football sense'. A few good tap on, that kick he managed to hoik back to the goal sqaure. Happy with his performance.

No I'm with you here. 

His work rate was immense, and gave us a good target, especially in the 3rd quarter.

Only in hindsight.

Brown was poor against Swans, and has been mediocre all year. Still, hope he can back it up against his old club, hard to see him getting dropped on that performance.

Or a GCS win would be almost as good. Pies have Port in the last round. Both would be ideal!

This!! If we could sneak in at Collingwood’s expense...

Bizarre that we were playing a crippled TMac for so long ahead of him. Truly some odd team selections this year

It beggars belief that with a wet windy day in Cairns forecast, we dropped him for Preuss to play Preuss as a forward last week.

If you want to reduce the season down to one major mistake, that maybe is it.

Rubbish. Hindsight just confirmed how bad of a decision it was.

In what world is Preuss a forward? Particularly given the weather conditions we knew was coming (we picked the side 24 hours beforehand). Brown mightn't have been amazing against St Kilda, but he wasn't terrible either.

I really did not see that coming.

Lever made mistakes early but he and May in the final quarter were huge.

Rivers is a gem.

Spargo certainly did his job. Pickett much improved. Baker gave us a second wing.

Keeps hope alive for one more week at least. And was a great game to boot.

Have to say i was super critical of Lever  and i stand by it, but he had a terrific last qtr. Good on him.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns.

    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.
