Gawn - probably broke even

Petracca - was rarely clean

Oliver - disposals were iffy

Rivers - good and evil

Petty - not a forward!

van Rooyen - tried but failed

Fritsch - career worst game

Bowie - loose but improved 

Turner - was rarely convincing 

McVee - needs a break

May - was generally effective 

Lever - often found out

Grundy - had little influence 

Langdon - couldn’t get involved

Pickett - some occasional cameos

Sparrow - some important touches

Viney - four quarter endeavour

Chandler - was well held

Harmes - had some impact

Brayshaw - spirit and conviction 

Jordon - another bland game

Hunter - some costly options 

Neil-Bullen - couldn’t get involved

Gawn - There when needed

Petracca - Some important touches

Oliver - Tough but tagged

Rivers - Our best driver

Petty - Better down back

van Rooyen - Great aerial presence 

Fritsch - Record is over

Turner - Not quite ready

McVee - Clean and reliable

May - Improved with time

Lever - Some late relevance

Grundy - No real impact

Langdon - Can't get involved

Pickett - Hits when needed

Sparrow - Career best game

Viney - Lifted in last

Chandler - Smooth but ineffective

Hunter - In slow motion

Yeah I thought McVee had one of his better games.

Generally not a fan of Brayshaw and his NQR moments but he has lifted in the last 2 weeks and been important.

May floundered again.

so we only had about 5 good players, yet still won? It was a hard fierce game from both teams and fortunately we came out on top.

JJ - every possession effective

AFL stats says on for 65% of game with 17 possies at 88% efficiency.

I still say he was 100% effective.

Also now the 'most winningest' current player with >50 games, so he can't be all bad!

joeboy your 3 word player analysis is most anticipated up here in the far flung regions of the realm. A little like the old Sporting Globe at the local newsagents when you got home from the 'G on Saturday evening. Especially after a closely fought win.

May we urge you to continue the good work! So pleased you stuck a few little gems in to heighten interest and awareness.

Rivers - good and evil

Had to work very hard after that smothered kick resulted in a late Suns goal.

Brayshaw - spirit and conviction

Doesn't get better than that, a truly on the road to Damascus moment.

Would love to add this one...

Gawn - At Witts end

Hopelessly negative! I only read it to see how far you are from reality. This one takes the cake! Those that think BBB is a certainty may not have watched Casey. JVR may miss due to collision, not poor form! He makes contests and hits the pack hard.

Fair point. I think we had about  7 good players and 5 average performances by another 5. Gcs are a good side.  They way outmarked us and we looked exposed down back quite often. I really wish Petty could return there. I think our tackling pressure was very good and forced Gcs to make some poor choices at times. Its hard to say if we played poor or they played well. I hope its a little from each column. Both our back and fwd lines have been a work in progress this year and last night reflected this. I know I looked at Gcs form and expected a 7 goal win. I mean that's what a flag contender should do to a nascent club like gcs. But the competition is much tighter this season and we are a team that is still experimenting with their structure. I also think the fact that we have been to SA, WA and Qld twice out of our 8 games takes somewhat of a toll on the players.

Their Midfield in Rowell, Anderson & Swallow are definitely not the weakest in the AFL. Anderson is an absolute gun (A potential Tracc) , Rowell is another Viney . And Wiks is a genuinely good ruckman (and team man) !!!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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

Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
