Gawn - deserved the honour

Oliver - sealed the Brownlow

Salem - was surprisingly fumbly

Viney - tried but lacking 

Petracca - not as dominant 

May - met his match

Harmes - prolific and aggressive 

Brayshaw - important last quarter

Pickett - had mercurial moments 

Lever - outstanding last quarter

Sparrow - some important touches

Langdon - impressive first half

Neal-Bullen - couldn’t get involved 

Spargo - played his part

Brown - always provided target

Fritsch - noticed by absence 

Rivers - was rarely sighted

Bowey - performance defied inexperience 

Smith - hard to define

Petty - was rarely sighted

Jackson - season worst performance 

McDonald - was embarrassingly ineffective

Obviously that’s ridiculous.

9 Tackles 

35 Pressure Acts 

17 Touches

1 Goal

 

Agree. I had Viney as our 5th best. Joeboy must be joking. Many many missed tackles v cats. Let’s not sugarcoat it … that 2nd qtr was pathetic.  Viney knows how to tackle and lock it in. Others were poor and enabled too many cats players to free up the footy.  Jack was back and deserved his place.

Yup, viney played a great bulls game. 
 
Best on ground for pressure acts, perhaps the 2 weeks off helped him get his body right for finals. Can’t wait for Viney to rip it apart next week. Heart and Soul player

Unbelievable summary Joeboy

 

Find some joy. 

Bob I am sure Joeboy is as happy as the rest of us, with a brilliant win, while still tinged with sadness, knowing we can’t attend  finals to support the boys.

However, this is an evaluation of individual performance thread regularly done by Joeboy over the years. To do that properly you don’t just say everyone played well when then they didn’t.

You can still enjoy a win, while noting who didn’t perform. I am certain the match committee will do exactly that. Do you disagree with any evaluation? That is probably a more relevant post than a swipe at Joeboy who is posting a clearly difficult type of thread that will have many critics.

On another note, I gave them absolutely no hope at half time and I am still stunned. I am starting to believe, maybe this year. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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.

    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
