Melksham and Hunt were very disappointing tonight. We desperately need a 2nd tall forward otherwise we cannot win the flag.

Out: Melksham, Hunt

In: JVR, Harmes 

Picket looked hampered by the knee with strapping. Rest him if needed. Chin can have a run if this is the case.

I dream a dream of not having a long distance runner as a half forward flanker

He has all the attributes of a Cattle dog.

ANB & Hibberd

How would you rate their games tonight ?

ANB gets 90% of his touches with immediate pressure incoming. He chooses to take the tackle and create a stoppage. I assume this is what the coaches drill into them, because he does it everytime and is always picked

In Harmes or JVR 

Out Melksham

We kick straight and win, don’t throw out all the toys yet.

Tackling in forward half needs to be more consistent week to week.

Genuinely still confused what Sparrow's role this year. Plays the bit role I'm guessing? For a midfielder, he barely has influence at all in games.

9 disposals tonight for 0 tackles.

Spot on. He was TERRIBLE.  Fumbled. Missed tackles. Handballs to no one. Terrible.

I've really got no idea who to bring in but surely the coaches need to look at the forwards. It is not working. In the past I blamed the entries but we had plenty of good forward entries only for the forwards to go missing and hang out the back. Think we may have a few front runners here who are not as tough as they think.

    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
