Very good win although it was disappointing we didn't give them an absolute hiding after that dominant 1st term.

Couple of observations -

Ward - his disposal is crap and I think its a travesty that he gets a game in front of CJ. To his credit though, in the 2nd half he played some good man-on-man footy and didn't turn it over quite so much

Frawley - doesn't offer the team really aything at all at this stage and should be developed at Sandy. He's not up to AFL standard by a long shot. Lost count of the number of times he was run down from behind. He appears slow both in pace and his decision making.

Bruce - Where do I start, the guy is a Flake of the highest order and despite his BOG antics of last week, turns in such a shocking effort today that it boggles the mind. If this guy is made captain in front of McLean I'll be livid.

McLean - a gun pure and simple and so important to the team.

Jones - a future superstar

McDonald - the cosumate pro, very valuable to the team.

Robbo - a star and a showman

Petterd - doesn't have enough penetration in his kicking yet, but looks the goods at AFL level (unlike Frawley at this stage)

Davey - becoming a close runner-up to Bruce in flakiness. Had a down day.

PJ - good luck trying to win your spot back in the team Jamar.

and finally

Wheatley - more of that for the rest of your career please. Played fantastically.

A great win. I reckon we've got a chance at winning the next 2 at least and setting up for a tilt at 8th spot by season's end.

Holland- made rocca look like a clown

That he did....awesome job but lucky not to give away about 4 frees.

The Melbourne Football Club- Proud owners of Collingwood since 2004! :D

There is nothing better than beating those filthy, whingy Pies.

McLean, Bell, Jones, Sylvia, Ricky and Bate. They are the future of this club, and they leave me very very confident of the future.

Brock McLean is just.... words cannot describe his awesomeness!!!

I actually thought Frawley was quite good today, I'm happy for him to stay in the team

Bruce's disposal was absolutely shocking, embarassing. Why the hell would play him forward? I'd trust my grandmother more in front of goal

Bate was terrific, can't see Miller getting that CHF position back any time

Of course Robbo was a star and I love him. :wub:

Godfrey's right foot goal was the highlight, can someone please put it on youtube?

I thought Frawley did well and we must persist with him.

It's a shame that Petterd's kicking today was poor, because he does everything else so well.

Jonesy and Brock are the perfect midfield duo. Nothing better than seeing Jonesy dive onto a pack and feed it out to McLean.

But my favourite goal of the day was when Sylvia took them on and kicked it to Bater who kicked the long goal. That was awesome.

people should understand....

Frawley will not be good next season unless he plays this season. tall defenders need experience!

we know he is tall and quick...he will get stronger and make better decisions by playing games!

keep him in the side.

first right foot goal for him according to walls

:lol: I'm sure he just made that up.

It's probably true though, if Matthew Lloyd can kick one on his right anything is possible...

Nup! Wrong again Walls, second right footer by Godders this year. Just like the Bozo was wrong when analysing frees against Rocca after the delayed replay. It was obvious in two of the 'contentious' frees against Rocca that he had a fist full of Holland's jumper trying to hold him off when in front, but Walls is blind to the bleeding obvious!

you read my mind waynewussell. maybe its time wallsy hangs up his boots as a commentator cause he is crap a tateer as he was a coach. Why don't you have a crack at it next year. It would be great to have some sensible comments during a match

mclean = Melbourne Football Club

bate was awesome

robbo a star (but it should have been 8 :P )

neitz was influencial

so many good points

we won when we butchered the ball quite a bit

bruce's kicking was poor, green was quietish today but stood up in the last quarter when it was required

ward is still terrible with his kicking

davey had a shocking day with his kicking

but we beat the filth and we can do it again come round 21!

who was on thomas, it was bell wasnt it ?

cos thomas was barely seen

I think Bell was on Didak most of the day and did pretty well on him to. Don't know who was on Thomas. I don't want to sound pedantic, but to the guy who said we need to play Frawley the rest of the season so he's primed for next year, by the same logic do you believe we should play Newton as well?

I think its grossly unfair on Newton that Frawley can get a run in the team when he clearly isn't ready and Newton has been in good form at Sandy and done plenty of development.

Danners baffles me at times.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
