Just about nailed it.

Thing is... sometimes the description is seen as unnecessarily patronising or remonstrative....

But this is actually just very...matter of fact.

This is what they were. 

Have no doubt they played their guts out...

But...   no chocolates...

We admittedly had more than 3 good players. We lost the game through conversion, plain and simple. We controlled that game and had far more better players then them.

My 5 word or under analysis 

Gawn - outplayed but tried

Viney - no real impact

Petracca - couldn't get involved

Oliver - wasteful with ball

Kozzie - more cold than hot

May - well played mate

Lever - did his job

Bowey - barely seen

McDonald - did he even play?

Chandler - Bedford is much better

McVie - damn good year

Salem - still off his best

Spargo - one of his best

Smith - tried 

Hunter - ok, nothing special

Langdon - slipped too often

Jordan - move him on

Tomlinson - good luck next year

Neal-Bullen - little impact really

Rivers - quiet game, but big future

Fritsch - underdone but still classy

Sparrow - one tough unit

Schacke - did as much as TMac

Not according the win to the maggots.... but maggots they were...well 2 especially. 

Some decisions were unwarranted and game affective.

We lost that game like we have lost every game over the last few years. Close. Maybe a few calls that went against us.. but ultimately it comes down to missed opportunity.

This was the last hurrah with this game plan. We should have won last week if we picked correctly. We didn't. Laurie and Schache as sub were the oddest choices all season.

Laurie wasn't he had done well in Rounds 23 and 24. Trouble was he had all day instead of about a quarter to play last week. Should have been back as sub again snd in last quarter  he might quite easily have won It for us with some skill and conversion.

    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.

    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

    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.
