Gawn - dominated in centre

Viney - total workhorse again

Petracca - classy and important 

May - dominated opponent again

Salem - some terrible decisions 

Brayshaw - focused and impressive 

Oliver - some costly errors

Rivers - was classy again

Lever - one dimensional game

Chandler - was rarely sighted

Pickett - another blockbuster disappointment 

McVee - a smooth mover

Neal-Bullen - needed more involvement 

Grundy - no second efforts 

Smith - only a substitute 

Jordon - loose and limited

van Rooyen - absent when needed

Hunter - better second half

Hibberd - made no difference 

Langdon - has slowed down

Sparrow - the junior Viney

Bowey - too many fumbles 

Melksham - had little impact

Melksham. Again no impact.

Two on the trot. 

He's simply on or off and never the twain shall meet for some reason.

Bowey had a Barry Crocker.

Just about his worst game.

That said, that free that was paid against him in the marking contest was a howler. 

That sort of grappling happens a 100 times a match. And when they mark it they hardly ever pay it.

But sure, ok pay it.

Then how do you not pay maxy, Grundy and jvr frees for being mauled all game?

I am beyond angry with the umpiring last night. Forget tge result, but it was simply nuts hoe many cleat holding the ball frees were not paid - for both sides, but we copped it worse.

Umpires - absolute [censored] cheats

I thought Ray in particular had a howler in the last Q...

It's ok to let the game go in a finals type tight game (maybe).

...but to not pay the sling against Riv (luckily it was picked up by another ump) and JVR having his legs taken out.

Please.....

Salem - performance lacked urgency

Agree. He and Bowey were not good.  When I look at the runners from half back and run and carry , both Bowey and Salem need to do much better.

Sounds like we lost by 10 goals. 

And Carlton won the flag by the sounds of it!

People who criticise Melksham need to remember he's often playing on mutch taller opponents

    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.

    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.
