I was at the ground but a long way from the Richmond end.   So only saw close half the action.

both Grundy and Oliver got better as the day went on.

So 6 Grundy

5 Oliver

I thought Lever was very good Rivers, Bowey, McVee  and Pig  all composed

4 Lever

3 Chandler had a great day

2 Fritz  got better

1  Van Rooyen      took marks like the Ox did when he started   fantastic

Apologies

Rivers, McVee, Hibbo, Spargo, AnB, Tracca, Hunter, Langdon Sparrow, Bowey and others

I thought that Oliver's third quarter, when the game was on the line, was something special. 

6 Oliver

4 Grundy

3 Hunter

1 May

 

yep thats what I was looking for. 10 min to go 3rd quarter Sydney was coming and we couldn't stop it (and they kicked points). Who stood up ? Oliver and with great defensive efforts all day. most tackles with 7 as well (interestingly JVR next with 6).

Petracca good but very sloppy, tried to do to much and disposal average 

Not quite as polished as we'd like but had some big time clearances in the 2nd half.

He needs to think less and kick more inside 50. He often misses the chance to have a quick snap and ends up stuffing the ball or hand balling to trouble.

That's right, sometimes you just need to have the 'throw it on the boot' mentality.

“The whole team”

Opposition Hyperpole watch;

T Papley; beyond the usual cameos, wider audience mercifully spared the full bantam rooster routine back to feather dusters.

L Franklin; it appears now only deigns to participate when the spotlight is at its brightest, centre stage. After the now too brief high octane moments fades like yesterday’s star into the wings.

From the director’s chair;

Congratulations to Simon Goodwin and the off celluloid support crew. Another brilliant production with fresh ideas, innovation and new faces. But with no hint of throwing out the baby with the bath water. 

Adjudication;

Remained anonymous as they should, although a hint of over-zealousness has crept in with the fourth. Overall much more good than harm.

Broadcasters;

BT managed to keep the amateurish bombast largely in check. Cameron Ling has actually improved, with the addition of some intelligent insights. An enjoyable listen overall, guess it goes with being on the winning side.

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
