Daw did not look fit or like he was saving something for after the game. Bedford is knocking on the door for 1st selection. Weids is a sure thing against Richmond. Brown needs another week. Jetta needs to wait and see how our backline in the ones goes to regain selection.

Thanks for all the reports. Great to have so many players pushing for senior selection but I hope we are cautious bringing them through. There has always been a big difference VFL to AFL but given the non-season last year for VFL, that gulf is bigger than ever.

He was very ordinary all day I thought. On form weid a must with bedford next in line. Brown/chandler also staked their claim but not sure how we could fit them in at the moment.

He did not dominate in any way,

and if he gets a game in the ones it would surprise me. 
 

does Casey nominate the days best 

I thought bowey, rosman, Bedford, Weid and brown and number 68. Gray ? 
Bradke and VdB and chandler and I apologise for others all better

Lockhart and Deakyn Smith were fantastic. Bowey found a good amount of the ball but was a tad sloppy. He will be a player though.

We have some nice replacements options coming through for the aging Hibbo and Jetta.

Thanks for the reports guys.

 

For those that watched it what positions did Weid and BBB play.  Did Weid play full forward (out of the goal square) or did they change it up.

TMac seems to be playing further up the ground so it probably makes sense if Weid play close to goal if he comes in.

Mainly BB playing the deeper role.

Weid got most from heavily contested positions.

Great games but remember the opposition played their best but many not in the same league.

That being said you couldn't ask much more of either of them.

Majak may become my favourite VFL player

The ladder after Round 1. This is the nature of the VFL in 2021. There are 22 teams and 16 rounds played. This won’t last.

Best result apart from the Demons would have to be Carlton losing at home by 1 point to Southport after leading all day.

I watch some of the game and I was more impressed with Deakyn Smith than Bowey.

He may be the small defender like Neville Jetta was 3 years ago.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.
