    Billings will not want to watch that game again.Ā  Snatching at chances is one thing, but that attempt at a tackle on Rankin was not our brand.

    As an encore for the last Saturdayā€™s heroics not an easy watch. Bayley Fritschā€™s cameo almost worth the cost of admission.

    Back to regular away game service from the adjudicators. The team within the local team. Ā Holding the ball, incorrect disposal simply erased from the rule book. Either serial non- decisions, a crow ā€˜rewardedā€™ with a free kick or balls it up.

    I can't remember doing the double against the Crows and Powa in the same home and away season, this seems to be a first for mine.

    Stand to be corrected.

    In 2022 we beat Port in round 4 and then Adelaide in round 16. Both in Adelaide.

    Fritta only needs to play about ten mins a game to change it's trajectory.

    Definitely an issue. Many would have seen him grimace (at a training session?) when a fan went to shake his injured hand.

    I'd like to know the exact problem. A broken bone? Does the club expect it to heal over the bye?

    He started as a backman, but his disposal was diabolical.

    Moved to the forward line where he just had to kick at goal! His disposal has improved 100%.Ā 

    He has got slower, so getting the ball and turning towards goal is no longer feasible. Much better defending/attacking the ball without have to turn. Good on him!!

    Re BT. Total fool. "Wowee" and "no trouble at all" seem to be his favourites.

    Re King. He flip flops so much. Someone referred to his "inane overanalysis". That description was spot on!Ā 

    The one commentator who loves the Dees is Montagna.

    Those pesky umpires caused Billings to miss 3 goals why didn't they just let him have them again I say....

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven MayĀ 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
