Gawn - surprisingly didn’t dominate 

McDonald - a consistent target

Oliver - prolific, sometimes wasteful 

Langdon - seemingly without passion

May - thank God 1

Lever - thank God 2

Petracca - skills slightly off

Harmes - plenty of grunt

Jordan - impressive first half

Brayshaw - needed the run

Spargo - some important touches

Tomlinson - steady and reliable 

Salem - excellent first half

Fritsch - only some cameos 

Sparrow - was rarely sighted

Jones - played his part

Neal-Bullen - just a game

Pickett - always looked dangerous 

Jackson - will be better

Rivers - was rarely noticed

Hunt - was rarely noticed

Jetta - some important interceptions

This confuses me. Langdon played well. Ran hard all day. Is a lone wingman out there but provided good linkage and tackled well. Not the most dazzling performance of his career, but certainly a good game.

Not bad. My thoughts:

Gawn - Couldn't impose self

McDonald - Sporadic yet reliable 

Oliver - Quantity not quality

Langdon - Had some presence

May - God among boys

Lever - Back to best

Petracca - Wasteful beyond first

Harmes - In and out

Jordan - Rising star nom

Brayshaw - did he play?

Spargo - Demonlands most underrated

Tomlinson - Club best game

Salem - Too easily beaten

Fritsch - Flash in pan

Sparrow - Not his day

Jones - Closer to milestone

Neal-Bullen - just a game

Pickett - Cyril Rioli like

Jackson - Present yet wasteful

Rivers - Has some flashes

Hunt - Not quite there

Jetta - Played solid role

I would say this..after a really promising debut season.

Rivers - 2nd year blues

I hope he can shake them

Ha, i was tempted to say that. But it’s just one game. Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out to be the dreaded second year blues.

I’d prefer if he played the team role rather than racking up the stats.

I'm comfortable with your analysis of every player apart from the above.

This guy is the Energiser bunny - runs hard all day.

Yeah, I was shocked that his disposal efficiency was 80%. I wouldn't have had him in my top 10 on the field.

I actually thought Brayshaw was ok. He laid some big tackles in the last qtr (including one on Fyfe) and did some nice composed kicks that led to scoring opportunities. He’ll be even better next week.

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
