Petty ahead of Brown and Jefferson? Every day of the week.

Everyday...  EVERYDAY ?? 

Tbh honest atm Petty is all over the shop..  brilliant one game....did he even turn up....turned it up on other occasions.   Personally,  and cue the wolves/ jackals/ meerkats.... I think overall he's quite 'average'.   Some will roll out excuses but you wander over that white line you've called yourself as good to go...  and often he isn't.   I get we're bereft of that real KPF..   Roo is good...but he's young....in 3 to 4 ...could be really something.    He Roo  does offer  a chop out to Max... so hes not the real KPF... Goody seems compelled /stuck with Petty.   

Id give Jeffo a crack...   i dont see him as any worse... and might surprise  ( might not )

If Petty...its by reluctant default....and yeah....thats why you pick players eh

Go Dees

Freo have gotten the better of us the last two times, but I'd like to know why, aside from Freo being up and about for an MCG challenge,

In 2022 May went off with concussion at quarter time which threw our structure out the door as Rory Lobb of all people got the better of us.

In 2023 we went small and and forced Lever to play tall against the likes of Amiss, Tracey and Jackson and it backfired as per usual when we've gone in with a small defence.

Other than that, can anyone think what they've had over us from a tactical point of view.

Not tactics - just the ‘L’ word - or intensity of training volume and density. 👊🥩💥

That first one in 22 was a really out of character Freo performance where they came out in the second half and kept the ball moving like free flowing water. They got some good fortune with it and with May out the damage was tenfold. 

Not expecting this to happen for sure but the message from me would be don't be slow to react if it does.

There's always a Mystery Injury of the Week.

Felt some minor discomfort in his adductor at training today according to Richo. They expect JvR to be available next week.

May and Petty were both out in that game. We were very unlucky that night.

    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.
