Gawn - true Demon heart

Tholstrup - poor situational  awareness 

McDonald - continued late renaissance 

Viney - amazing leaders game

Turner - cause for optimism 

Petty - provided regular contests

Rivers  - useful, not outstanding 

vanRooyen - some impressive moments 

Neal-Bullen - great second efforts

Bowey - kicking skills diminished 

Langdon - indefatigable running prowess

Chandler - useful forward connector

Tomlinson - steady and reliable 

Lever - far from convincing

Fritsch - a leisurely frolic

Howes - showing some promise 

Hore - looked at home

Salem - defender of old

Pickett - unsighted until last

Melksham - some impressive touches 

Billings - just a plodder

Sparrow - little before injury

McVee - surprisingly rarely involved

Tholstrup - his best game

Very tough on Billings - 21 disposals going at 90% is a very good game.

Good to see him back.

Tough readjustment last week but turned up today.

Well done.

Tholstrup - not there yet (his decision making and reaction time isn't fast enough yet)

Disco - no obvious weakness

Kozzie - shouldn't have played

Billings - experienced shouldn't fumble

Viney - legend of club

kozy puts in some average ones   hopefully a big one next week  How good to beat the filth

By now Goodwin should now that if Kozzy is quiet in the first half he must start in the midfield ASAP, touching the leather invigorates Kozzy.

Tholstrup - robbed of goal.

Can we get rid of that pathetic arc?

Once again it robs us of a certain goal.

For once it didn't cost us a game though.      I am sure there are stats somewhere that show how many calls have gone for and against certain teams.   Cost us the final v Carlton and other games I cannot specify.

Equivalent to telling the time with a two bob watch.

That bloody arc has cost us games. I hate it. Don’t care if an umpire makes a bad decision, part of the game.

On this occasion though I think it was the goal umpire that stole it from him.

Exactly what he was scouted for.

Goal umpire called it a point, so without the arc it would still have been a point.

If Kolt can fix up his kicking, he’ll become our best young player very quickly. Runs to the right spots, has pace and loves the contest.

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
