Gawn - an amazing return

Viney - 4 solid quarters 

Grundy - was almost important 

May - better second half

Lever - not always convincing 

Bowey - has been better

Rivers - a  solid game

McVee - was seemingly overawed 

Hibberd- some vital tackles

Langdon - better second half

Brayshaw - often careless disposals 

Hunter - some important touches

Oliver - eventually got going

Petracca - not as explosive 

van Rooyen - incredible last quarter

Sparrow - impressive tagging game

 Neal-Bullen - played his role

Pickett - another disappointing game

Chandler - took his chances

Jordon - a workmanlike performance 

Petty - needed in defense 

Fritsch - had little involvement

Heck, the match I watched I thought McVee had a better than average game and certainly held his own.

joeboy must’ve been a jam at the ‘G after the final siren glad you’ve successfully negotiated the traffic /public transport imbroglio to get home.

Mostly in concordance with your player analysis except you’re too kind to Steven May and too harsh on Angus Brayshaw*. And Judd McVee looks to be fairly cool under pressure.

Some crucial touches when the game was in the balance.

Lever - multiple brain farts

Chandler - what a beauty

Viney - full beast mode

That’s all I’ve got. Lucky the family were home last night otherwise I’d be buying a new TV today 🤣

I think the anti May analysis of this game is a bit tough. From watching the replay, I noticed that Riewoldt was a long way away from May in some of his goals...I thought May was solid.

That is the problem Mon Our No 1 was AWAY from Jack. His job too scrap/ scrap and spoil and punch away and put body on body. Ie No pressure from Steve on Jack.

Thought Steve's last quarter was positive and Jake also improved.

Seen May play much better footy. Set a very high standard in recent seasons with two All-Australian blazers. Agree his last quarter was more solid but Riewoldt and Co had physically dropped off. 

At this stage of the season there is plenty of room for improvement, amongst the individuals who make up the team including Steven May.

Angus Brayshaw is the type of footballer most coaches and players love to have in their sides. Courageous, combative and committed to the team success. Over his career he has provided that in spades. From overcoming earlier serious concussion issues, to running a close third to a surprise Brownlow medal. To the pure grit and determination of his Grand Final performance in Perth in '21. Where he was flying the flag deep into the Doggies' second into third quarter momentum swing.

His recent performances continue to to show that determination and resolve by accounting for Jake Stringer against Essendon despite the loss. I thought his performance against Richmond was similarly praiseworthy, absorbing considerable physical pressure, but continuing to repulse Tiger forward forays as the game tightened up. Whilst still being able to deliver quality ball by hand or foot to a team mate.

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
