Just watched replay.

So did I (finally!).

And I stand by my rating of Bell's game. Did a great job on Didak (one of his two shots on goal came from a free kick given away by Dutchy), then went onto Lockyer in the last (at least the first part of the last quarter from what I could see), and kept him to just 5 disposals.

He is fast becoming our best defender (with apologies to our injured CHB).

McLean was awesome as usual and that free kick paid against him was a disgrace. His awareness of where to run, and how to deliver the ball is well beyond his years.

Sylvia was just fantastic in the first half. Also loved his 'get the hell out of my way' shove and run. He has got to have one of the best strength-to-size ratio in the AFL. Looked a little uncomfortable before the start of the last quarter while stretching his groin. Hopefully they don't push him too fast too soon, although we'd all love to see him play more in the middle of the ground.

Neita inspirational to come back on, and have a really big impact in the last. His work directly resulted in our last two goals to Davey and Robbo.

PJ was good, but dear god Chris Bryan is average. I could beat him in the ruck and I'm about as tall as Milne. Just awful! :lol:

Anyways, great game, lovely shots of Joffa with what could only be described as a dish rag on his head cracking the shits.

Joy all around! :D

It's in the rules to avoid players wasting time.

Brock did NOT waste time. He slammed the ball into the chair, not over the fence. The umpire was stupid to give it a free in a crucial time in the game, and worse still he gave him the 50m penalty when earlier in the game Rocca told the umpire to 'go away you...' and no 50m was paid.

mmm im not sure wat the rule states i think it supposed to returned in an appropriate manner or somthin... but who cares...

and i dont think there is anythin wrong in telling the umpire to go away, unless

it is F%%% of WHITE MAGGOT

Holland > Bell on Monday, and by a big margin

They were both very good.

Holland was a little lucky as he did hit Rocca in the head once, and pulled his arm more than a few times... not that there's anything wrong with that ;)

But then Didak > Rocca.

    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.
