Question mark on May’s assessment. He wasn’t great and looks very stiff and sore. Very lucky to be playing on a player who was clearly injured (Waterman) who still ran him around and kicked a couple.

Sparrow offers nothing.

I want him to start running assertively with the ball when he gets it and put the defence on its heels.  I understand he is playing to instruction however too often he gets it and stops.  Its hard to offer damage when doing that constantly.

Lever :Needs to contest marks, rather then talking about it.

TMac : Thank heavens !!!

I agree; May was often a metre or two behind.

 You are harsh on Oliver. He combined with the others to keep Reid to minor impact.

Yes  (May) he was then he jumps up and takes a couple of impressive marks. With a pass to milkshake for a goal ( I think)

thought Clayton played within himself and his ability. But we won by 54 points. Round 10 they beat us by 35 points.
 

pretty good turnaround.  Go Dee’s

joeboy - brevis  Sporting Globe

Ed Langdon - mojo magic working 

Caleb Windsor - get dictionary out?

Steven May - keep Petty campaign 

Tom McDonald - best tall defender

Kade Chandler - underrated defensive forward 

Taj Woewodin - 🎼 start me up

Looking forward to next Saturday night at the ‘G. Opening quarter was exemplary. Last quarter an incremental improvement.

Think we need Petty at Casey to find some form, Disco down back and JEFFO to debut!

Chandler, to Sub, Jeffo to debut. Chandler has not hit the scoreboard anywhere near enough for a small forward!

Mat is a metre or two behind every week these days.

If he wasn't so good he'd be finished. 

Old father time has brought a kit bag full of niggles

I have to agree, I think Mat was more than a meter behind his man. He must of been in the stands. I did not see Mat all game. 
 

Hands up all Demonlander’s named Mat who attended today. Get in front FFS 😳😳🤩🤩😆😆

 

Oh, you need a referral to the Physio too 😬😬

With respect mate, you’ve been a tad obsessed with this Jeffo talk of late Picket. The kids finally finding his feet & starting to play some nice consistent footy. Why the rush? & especially how the forward line seems to be functioning the past couple weeks.

The only time is see Jeffo debuting is if & when we’re out of the finals race. & the longer he’s not in the one’s the better it would seem we’re going.

All things going well, he gets to build his case over a strong pre-season with a chance to impress for an early debut in 25’

I thought Lever was pretty poor. He struggles big time when he’s one-on-one against a genuine tall.

Lever was absolutely terrible. I'm guessing he was directly responsible for about 8 shots on goal, mostly to Allen. He is tall, but he's not a genuine tall defender.

Funk and Wagnall was I believe made popular by frequent references in Rowan and Martin's Laugh In

Fair point but if Sparrow's career ends up being 50% that Melksham's I'll be rapt. I have my doubts.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
