Gawn - dominated when required 

Oliver - top Brownlow votes

Petracca - good not great

Brayshaw - a liability early

Sparrow - assumed Viney’s role

Fritsch - quiet but classy

Jackson - successfully performed role

McDonald - our best forward 

Lever - back to impenetrable 

Dunstan - excellent first half

May - showed who’s boss

Jordon - a reliable connector 

Neal-Bullen - was rarely sighted

Pickett - did just enough 

Spargo - ultimate team man

Bedford - speed was impressive 

Bowey - uncharacteristically quiet game

Rivers - tough and reliable 

Melksham - had little involvement 

Petty - very quiet game

Brown - couldn’t assert himself 

Langdon - please return quickly

Hunt - was rarely required

Generous assessment of Gawn, today was not his best. 
 

McKay had the strength to negate Brown’s height advantage.

I thought Brown and Gawn had their poorest game for the season. Dunstan was a butcher in the first half can't see that he was excellent in the first half.

It was Josh Walker. Corr was on Tmac.

Brayshaw better second half

Dunstan  connected better later

Gawn eventually clunked some

Melksham strictly cameo goal

Brown - was very poor

74 inside fifties and kicked 2 behinds

Plays from behind far too often for mine.  Needs to work harder (Earlier!!) to get front position and keep it.

Plugga Mac, while no super star forward, works his [censored] off in this regard and sometimes gets rewarded for it.  A few examples of this during the game tonight.

Agree he should have kicked somewhere between two to four goals (minimum) tonight given the amount of entries.

Lever was Best on Ground for mine. Went quiet when the game was done but otherwise he killed every contest he couldn’t mark.

Did you notice a player in number 13 for us?

He was so far BOG, that he may have got all 6 votes from the umpires and I for one would say that wasn’t even enough.

I have never seen anyone do some of the things he does.

We had Robbie the most skilled player I have ever seen.

We now have Clarrie, the best contested possession player I have ever seen, who I am simply in awe of and am so grateful he is one of ours.

Thank you Jason Taylor.

Brayshaw - had a stinker

Brown - had a stinker

Gawn - had a stinker

All three had worst games for 2022 so glad that's behind them.

Yeah, nah.  Brayshaw started terribly but worked his way into the game.  Gawn was asked to play a different role - He and Jackson had a near 50/50 split of centre square attendance.  We actually won clearance well and Gawn was two straight kicks of having a great game (1.2 v 3.0).  Brown didn't play well but it'd be the first time in a while.

Of course I saw Clarrie, Petty was down, May was quiet, lever killed contest after contest.

Ive said here that I think Clarrie will more than likely be our best ever player by careers end. But Lever to me was impassable, when north surged, there was Lever.

And I don’t care what the umps do with their midfield award, I value more than possessions (that’s a dig at umps, not Clarrie)

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
