only watched the first half and then went home

i didn't think gawn did much in the first half; did he do enough to claim a 7th all oztrayan or will it go to xerri, a clearly inferior ruckman?

i thought pickett was great - only player who looked lively forward of centre

salem the best of a bad lot and i guess mcdonald was decent in the air defensively

3: pickett
2: salem
1: mcdonald

Was a hard watch at the ground.  Defensively really poor. Votes are difficult to give in this one but there were three standouts for us who everyone has identified.

6. Gawn - beat Cameron convincingly on a night that didn't favour the big men. 20 disposals at 75%, 13 contested, 5 clearances, 5 marks and 3 of those contested as well as 25 hit outs.  

5. McDonald - a heap of intercept marks.  Did a decent job on Hoskin-Elliott who wasn't a major influence.  A good end to a decent season and worthy of another 12 month contract.

4. Pickett - Koz looked our most dangerous and destructive forward all night. When he's on he plays with real spirit and last night he had it.

3. Salem - a massive second quarter, where he amassed half his total stats for the game.  He is creative but also costly.  Hopefully a full preseason might see him back to 2021 standard.  But he was ok last night.

2. Chandler - covered ground but not great in the contest.  At least provided options. Not enough tackles for a small forward but wasn't horrible.

1. Billings - much like Chandler but slower.  Still he worked hard.

Tholstrup did a couple of nice things.  As for the rest, very little to report. Congratulations to Gawn on his outstanding season.  He is a true warrior and a deserved winner of the Demonland POTY.

6 - Max a much better 2nd half

5 - Salem stay fit and healthy

4 - TMac should go around again 

3 - Chandler worked hard all night

2 - Kozzie best forward 

1 - Trent Rivers reasonable 100th

Jack Billings eased out for Riv’s 100th.

A lot of sick or injured players tonight or just run out of puff after a disappointing year. Pies had the best 4 players on the ground last night and by some margin.

On a night when there were very few shining lights wearing red and blue:

6.  TMac  -  very reliable in an undermanned defence.  Capped off a very solid year, after many of us thought that injury and Father Time had caught up with him.    

5.   Gawn  -  leadership by example is what we’ve come to expect from Max, and that’s what we got, from the start to the final siren (I loved the passion / determination in his eyes when he addressed the players immediately after the lightening break).  Another AA coming up, together with prestigious Demonland Player of the Year.

4.  Chandler -  often maligned, but I thought this was one of his best games for the club.  Has made good progress this year imo.

3.   Salem -  solid game, but spoiled a bit of his good work with uncharacteristically ‘iffy’ disposal.  Having said that, he probably chose some more difficult options with a view opening up the field for our boys, and, in the circumstances of the game, you can’t blame him for that.

2.  Pickett  -  a typical Kozzi ‘live wire’ game.  Our only forward who always looked dangerous when the ball was in his area.  Unfortunately, it didn’t get in there often enough.

1.  Rivers  -  got a fair bit of the ball, but ‘butchered’ it too often.  Still a solid game from a player who is still learning the trade

6 GAWN. huge heart. Tried all night. Beat Cameron convincingly. 
 

daylight 

 

5 Tmcd. Yes had a good night. Beat Daicos 1-1. Two brain fades. Deliberate out of bounds.  Bad decision to mark instead of punch v HoskinElloitt cost us a goal. Otherwise tried and tried and kicked well 

4 Chandler.  Nice goal.  Good tackles and put his head over the footy 

3 Salem.  Again strong contribution.  Intercepted several Pies attacks. Generally good disposal except for 2 howler turnovers that cost goals 

 

struggling now 

2 Langdon.  Ed kept running and got better with more involvement 

1 Turner.  He shows spirit.  Lovely goal 

apologies to Kozzzzy ( good goals but it was a nearly night … nearly got away from quaynor, hit the post from 7 metres out, nearly got through congestion, nearly nearly ) 

Riv in 100th was serviceable as was Billings.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    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.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.
