Sorry cannot accpet Pickett (even though I like him). He must start getting game sense (lack of awareness has cost us the last two weeks)

So sad and farewell 2022 

6-Trac - battled through pain. Clearly our best. On one leg and he’s still a star. 

5-Clarry - scragged and gouged all night. Battled and tackled (12 tackles) and showed he’s a warrior 

4-Petty - battled all night and saved 3 certain goals. Great effort. Great year. 

3-Harmes 👍🏻- better. Clean disposal. One grab footy. 

2-Langdon 👍🏻- ran and ran and ran and kicked and was again in the best 

1- ANB. Ok. Just gets a vote due to his 1st half. But generally disappeared after 1/2 time. Runs into trouble. At least got two good goals. 

 

Kozzzy ok - good 1st half but his miss in the 4th (in the goalsquare… No lions ) was unforgivable 

Hibbo Ok - battled and generally beat Cameron 

May - ok. Beaten but battling on. Hipwood showed his athletic ability and perhaps batter without competing with Daniher. 

Brayshaw ok - tagged Neale(why?) but generally looked tired. Good goal in 4th. 

Hunt - ok. Nothing terrible but nothing enlightening. Did his job. 

Fritsch - ok had a great year but had two costly turnovers. Two goals but was a little off tonight.

💩Salem -just looked slow. Was he even fit. Disposal not sharp at all. Kicks to the clouds not direct. Disappointed. 

🤯Viney - ouch - had to say, heart of a lion and tackles all night but too often took wrong decision. Missed goal chance in 3rd quarter was costly. 

🤯Gawn - start of ‘22, mentioned at best in the comp. But he looked tired. Hitouts to no one. Better with a big punch. Tapped it mostly to Neale and Zorko in 2nd half. 

🤯Lever - good discipline in defence so then why???? A goal down and gives up an obvious 50. Why?? Arrogance ?? 

The spuds 

-1🥶Melksham- one good play then disappears. Wtf. Very disappointing. 

-2🥔Ben Brown - unable to mark and lead. Is he fit or strong enough. Dropped countless marks. 

-3🥔Jackson - omg. Fumbles all the time. So many dropped marks. Handballing to other players under pressure. Shines in 2-3 passages then nothing. Ummm. So disappointing.  

-4🥔Spargo - smart but essentially physically too weak. Tackled too easily. 

-5🥔Rivers - ran into trouble and panicked and fumbled. Costly mistakes. 

-6🥔 Sparrow - terrible all night. Missed goals. Missed opportunities. Cost us. Dumb tackles. Career worst game by far.

Referring to our players as 'spuds' says more about you than it does the players.

Excellent and accurate summary.

As bad as Sparrow was last night, his career worst games was the Queens Bday game in Sydney last year.

Posted whilst angry, disappointed, frustrated etc etc. Feel like for all the years we’ve been downtrodden, our team is really good and could’ve won it again. Really disappointed in the decisions made by several repeat offenders. I know they’re not spuds.  
 

Btw there was some positives in the star ️ ratings.

Learn from it and don’t do it, seriously it’s absolutely cringeworthy (not just directed at you) to read posts clearly made solely based on emotion and frustration

It is sort of funny how one food is offensive but another is endearing!

6 - Tracc - hampered but tough and skilled, goal kicking has fallen away

5 - Harmes - provided the link option and one of few who can mark one on one

4 - Petty - saved us time and time again what an asset he is

3 - Langdon - tried his heart out but disposal a bit off tonight

2 - Clayton - Umpires enemy got no protection is a tough champion

1 - ANB for a good 1st half - needs to back himself more

After half time we couldn’t buy a mark or kick a clean goal, they were slotting them from 50, perfect playing conditions in front of 62,000 mainly MFC and couldn’t get it done. Vey sad second half at the G last night.

    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.
