Spot on Bailey Laurie, he's got that look of a High Schooler. Looks afraid and overwhelmed at AFL footy.

Viney must be injured..  ranked our 8th worst player in a horrible team performance.

This can't be the real Jack.

That's the thing...

Players like Bowey

Rivers

Viney

Salo

Langers

Are not impacting games like they used too.

Disposal has always been lacking.. just covered it up with effort, intensity etc. But with age.. comes a spotlight on the flaws.

Sparrow - a serial noncontributor

How he is still getting a game is mind blowing, fumbles, fumbles then when he does grab it either gets caught or turns it over. Get rid of him.

I think Windsor is going to be a real player, even on days where he’s below par, he still puts in and his presence is more than his slight frame should allow.

JVR and Windsor - our shining lights

Both were ok today. It was our experienced players (except Gawn and ANB) that farted and fumbled.

May...Definitely carrying injury

Windsor..Definitely not worst

Billings Definitey Casey Season

McVee .... Uncharacteristically hesitant game

Rider: I wont pot players, confidence is a major contributor, unfortunately older players aren't dragging them along

Sorry JoeBoy - go back and watch the replay and send us all an apology for missing their contribution today.

Other verdicts I can cope with although your May one seems to have forgotten Hoskin-Elliott - one of their best three - played on him for the entire first half before Goody realised May wasn't quick enough to man him.

    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.
