THROW HIM TO FF!

No chance.

White is a hopeless forward. Great kick, good mark, no idea where to lead.

He's better off floating across the forward line and taking marks.

It's been difficult for me to see many games this year (being in Sydney get to see Swans play on both free to air and Austar) but i've read a lot about Newton on this site. So far not impressed.

That's because he isn't playing up forward!

Was excellent last week, yet hasn't seen the goal square all night.

What has the forward line structure been? The radio isn't very informative in that regard.

Robbo and Davey key forwards, and we've taken something like 5 marks inside our forward 50.

Anyone shocked? :rolleyes:

McLean with 29 possessions. :D

You would have been if you saw him against Carlton and Essendon...Carlton in particular.

Newton was good last week and goon in his first game, this is his 3rd and the delivery into F50 is worse than terrible, and i dont even know what position he has been played in but has not been FF and that is where he should be played.

Nice handball from Garland.

Godfrey was excellent too, punched the ball down back, and ran down to kick the goal.

Oh, and look, Newton finally in the forward line and he creates a contest from which we score.

Where has Newton been playing then? Wing? I heard that Garland was on the wing.

I saw him in the midfield, and a few forward flank cameos.

Great goal from Jonesy. What a champ!

P.S.- Pathetic umpiring tonight!

I have seen nothing in this game to make me think we are any chance of rebounding next year.

I expect to see soft, inept performances from some of those older we have on our list.

But what i really thought i would see, was the likes of Sylvia, Bate and Jones stepping up and taking their game to a new level. And with McLean, take leadership of the club.

Yeah a tall forward who made a contest, who would have thought!

Jones with a nice long goal, great work by davey, has really lifted and put his head down after a terrible start.

McLean and Jones have been very good.

McLean is the leading possession getter on the ground, which is a fair effort after 3 poor weeks.

Oh, and nice work from Bate and Sylvia to combine for the goal ;)

How good is CJ's disposal today? Doesn't get a heap of the ball, but he makes the possessions count.

Our players have lost the plot tonight.

So many undisciplined frees given away, which is unacceptable, even from a young side.

Brock- 31 touches, 13 contested possessions, 1 goal. The champ is back! :D

Chris Johnson perhaps done enough to earn a spot next round?

Why would you drop him?

Why is he always the first one in the gun?

Has done very well with his limited ground time and possession count.

No youngster deserves to get dropped while our injury list is so long. We have nothing to gain by dropping them.

The home-game experiment earnt us a lot of money, but not a lot of points. Good riddance Brisbane!

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    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
