Sparrow - Twenty Pressure Acts

The highest were ANB and Chandler with 22 (not exactly “limited involvement”), but Sparrow is consistently high in this stat. I think Goodwin has him playing a pretty unglamorous role this year, and I’m sure the coaches aren’t as down on him as a few posters have been lately. 

Oh and also worth mentioning, the other player in the top four for pressure acts was Harrison Petty, also with 20.

Salem - contest work underrated

Put his body on the line repeatedly tonight.

Yes he didn’t star but did what was needed.  Improvement still to be seen and he has a key role over the next 6 games.

They should give him a game next week, maybe rest Moniz-Wakefled.

Why in the world would AMW need a “rest”?  He ain’t Joe Biden 😴

Thanks Mel.  These pressure acts are mostly unseen by the fans at the ground - many of whom still want “kick it long” - but are incredibly important in the structure of the team.

Looking forward to binman’s stats analysis tonight.

Surprised when he was ‘rested’ during the final qt Saturday night. Certainly was fully invested in the team performance prior to that. May not have the finesse of Salem or Bowey but his combative, take no prisoners attitude has been noticed. Mentioned in dispatches by the Channel 7 commentary and didn’t take a backward step in the contretemps V Jake Stringer.

It seems like sacrifice acts &  pressure acts are back the last 2 weeks.  Very enjoyable

Good assessment JB.

I thought Oliver was very quiet in the first half and on the bench longer than he should have been.

But he can alive as Oliver of old in the second and it was heart warming tuff.

He Langers, Melksham and Nibbler were back to their sublime best.

Rivers and kozzie in the guts too were fantastic.

I've argued all year our midfield has been down on impact this year but it seems to have turned the corner.

Despite having no ruck we won the clearances in the wet when we have lost a lot of games on these conditions.

As mentioned numerous times Melksham in or fwd line makes it go from average to dynamic.

He is a super hard matchup for others and we now have an easy 100 point kicking  fwd line.

Apart from his sliding smart goal to a vacant goal square, his kick to Turner was pinpoint accurate such that Disco didn't have to break stride.

Can't wait until Max is back and Jvr gets to play fwd with the others and not so much ruck work.

As good as Kozzie is in the middle I'd like him fwd as much as we can spare him.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    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
