Just now, whatwhat say what said:

he doesn't provide the defensive pressure

laurie will either make it as a mid at afl level or he'll have a long vfl career a la mitch white

Have to disagree re defensive pressure.

He's had 7 tackles in a half so far and had a good 1minute late in that quarter where he had 5 or 6 repeat efforts scrapping at the lose ball to cause an opposition turnover. His game against the pies he had the most pressure acts of anyone on the ground despite only playing 65% game time.

McAdam kicks his second! 

Casey up by 6 points at the start of the third.

Really hard to read what might be AFL-relative footy in this wet slog.

Jefferson a standout for the way he is presenting and looks a dominant point in the forward line.

I feel sorry for Laurie - far too good for VFL but can't quite produce it at AFL level (going in and out of the team isn't helping).

Sestan and McAdam playing like average VFL players.

I wish Mitch White was 22-23 yo. I would roomie list him in a heart bit.

Casey defensive and effort is outstanding.

Composure inside F50 an issue (sounds familiar).

Playing well but not capitalising.

Yep, and he was similar for the past two weeks at Casey

Howes is dominating this 3rd quarter. Very steady influence. Unlucky to have that beautiful goal cancelled by a free against McAdam. Laurie our next best.

McAdam has played his role well but we can’t afford that ill-discipline at AFL level. Wouldn’t mind seeing him as sub soon.

Impressed with Jefferson getting in the right spots and using the ball well.

Brown has had some really impressive moments and also some really bad.

Hunter and Billing’s have been deplorable and so hard to watch. Almost as bad as the umpiring.

We should be way further in front but very wasteful in front of goal.

I know it's wet, but to be 10 points up with 10 more scoring shots is criminal. Surely Choco moves on at the end of the year

Time and time again we have free targets inside 50 but players electing to have a ping from difficult angles. Frustrating

We are slaughtering the Bullants, only to play country style footy inside F50. Very frustrating.

he has a lot of tackles as he's second man in at contests

chandler's frontal pressure is much better

    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.
