Judging from the comments I have read today it appears that Turner should get a go in front of Tommo

the up and coming on ball brigade are struggling but our obsession with boundary line play makes it tough when it comes to forward delivery.

Should have won but it wouldn't mean much

Yep, I think that will be the case from now on.

One thing I would agree with the commentary on today.

Tommy looks like he's running in treacle.

It was a bad day for most. No need to stick the boots in, and write anyone off. We will need 3-4 of those guys to gain confidence and play a roll if we are going to go deep in 2023.

You are insufferably negative today.

So you think it was a good game then, and there was no negatives or do only look at the good points?

We really missed those hard bodied and experienced VFL players, Munro, Buntine, and Baldi.

Wow, BBB not taking his opportunity from straight out infront, though not the only one.

We have a few AFL listed players who will have to lift/develop their game, if they want to be AFL standard. Jefferson, Adams, AMW, D.Smith, Farris-White. 

Some terrible field kicking and missed opportunities killed us.

Nearly stole it.

Why were Buntine & Baldi left out?

The Araldite (White + Munro) back will make a big diff next week.

He was somewhere between solid & good - nowhere near outstanding.

I thought D.Turner turned the game and momentum, by those intercepts in the third. Played a good game in a dysfunctional backline. They couldn't zone well as they let the opponents get to the ball first and very few attacking moves that came off, (couldn't find a corridor).

Tomlinson needs some confidence, his leadership and structural set up down back appeared to suffer, as well as his poor decision making, slipping over and switching off. He usually dominates and supports D.Turner very well at this level.

I always look at the bright side. It’s one of the reasons everybody loves me (the other 2 reasons are that I’m drop dead gorgeous, and that I’m very humble).

Should we recruit Bell as a back up ruckman ?

Played a good 1st half, and I thought the same thing, but left in the second. Consistency is needed, especially at the level he is playing.

Give it a [censored] rest, will you. If there’s more than one way to say something, without exception you’ll choose the most belligerent, abrasive way of saying it. It’s unpleasant and unnecessary.

So I gather, seeing you did not answer the question you're not sure either? also I tell it the way I see it if you don't like that block me it's simple not going to bother me.

I love you for that first reason, which is good since I think you’re full of [censored] re the other reasons. 😁

Yeah true. But in my defence it’s very hard to be humble when you look this good.

Agree, and it also showed why we can't play both in the same team at senior level.

How many marks did brown take and his other stats inc T Mac … I brown kicked 4?behinds do you would say he got his hands on the footy

    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

    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.
