Not saying much but ANB was clearly our best player today

Lewis and Jetta are probably the 2 slowest players on our list, other than our ruckmen It would be suicide to bring them both in against one of the quickest sides in the competition

Not sure why there’s so much vindictiveness here towards roaming Brian, I found it entertaining and informative

Jones - he’s not dead Viney - bullocking as usual Gawn - dominated the centre Hore - improved with confidence Frost - an important component O.McDonald - fortunately rarely required T.McDonald - provided a target C. Wagner - was rarely sighted Oliver - great second half Salem - calm and collected Petracca - reward for effort Hunt - pace was important Brayshaw - quieter than usual Harmes - better second half Fritsch - some important touches Preuss - had an impact Melksham - needs to improve Stretch - far from convincing J. Wagner - strong defensive effort Weideman - an intelligent footballer Hibberd - not as dynamic Spargo - did just enough

With the Sydney ground’s surface in a dangerously poor condition, would it be in the club’s interest to demand the game be abandoned and the 4 points shared ?

Jones - devoid of leadership Viney - devoid of confidence T. McDonald - making up numbers O.McDonald - never imbued confidence Jetta - career worst game Hibberd - just a shadow Brayshaw - only shining light Gawn - should have dominated Harmes - merely a tagger Oliver - couldn’t hurt opposition Hunt - an opportunist’s game Fritsch - reduced to mediocrity Petracca - tried but failed Lockhart - limited by size Salem - was shown up Melksham - had limited involvement Weideman - disappointing yet again Kolodjashnij - was rarely sighted C.Wagner - had few tricks J. Wagner - was he playing? Frost - a limited footballer Neal -Bullen - continued underwhelming season

He may not be in form currently, but Tom McDonald possesses the right attributes too

Poor under pressure

Gawn - hasn’t lost it

6 - Oliver 5 - Viney 4 - Brayshaw 3 - Frost 2 - Harmes 1- Melksham

Viney - came to play Jones - has become irrelevant Oliver - was all class Jetta - slow and inept O.McDonald - had little involvement T.McDonald - played amateurish football Salem - was found out Hibbert - ineffectual and disappointing Hunt - had no influence Sparrow - offered very little Neal-Bullen - devoid of relevance Frost - was actually impressive Lockhart - just a game Kolodjashni - Gold Coast reject Harmes - many irrelevant possessions May - little to enthuse Weideman - continued being underwhelming Melksham - had some presence Brayshaw - prolific not damaging Fritsch - has lost momentum Petracca - had no impact

Not according to the official Demons website

Frost( 192cm) is listed as only marginally shorter than Weidemann ( 193cm) and has a body and agility far better suited to pinch hitting in the ruck. May comes in for anyone, and plays in defense, whilst Frost relieves Max in the ruck and allows Weidemann to stay up forward and avoid heavy body collisions in the ruck.

Viney - obviously not ready Jones - embarrassing and costly Salem - our ONLY winner Jetta - loose and slow Hibberd - disposal was abysmal O. McDonald - no redeeming component Frost - a total liability Petracca - still looks overweight T. McDonald - no second efforts Weidemann - overrated and underwhelming Spargo - has a brain Oliver - rarely advantaged us Brayshaw - possessions without purpose Harmes - tried but limited Gawn - was easily overcome Hunt - far from convincing Neal-Bullen - laughably our fittest Sparrow - not the worst Fritsch - just some cameos Melksham - not as fluent Hoare - lacked game awareness Wagner - not the answer

Ridiculous act by May.. one week penalty is appropriate

Hunt’s performance so far looks very encouraging.. the Hunt of old perhaps.

JKH is one of our best IMO

Preuss looks impressive

This is not necessarily a spruik for business, but I happen to have a picture framing business in Fountain Gate shopping centre ( t/a Hang Up) which is next to Bunjil Place, so if anyone wants to drop off framing before attending the pre season launch, I’d be pleased to offer a 25% discount to anyone who mentions ‘Demonland’. ( mods feel free to remove this offer if you deem it inappropriate)

I’m not clever enough to be able to bring up the photos but David Neitz and former Victorian and Australian cricketer John Hastings ( pre hair removal )have an uncanny resemblance

Brayshaw - break out season Bugg - papers signed early Fritsch - rose from obscurity Frost - became a lynchpin Garlett - went nowhere quickly Gawn - heart and soul Hannan - some impressive cameos Harmes - our most improved Hibberd - injuries curtailed performance Hogan - was outstanding early Hunt - never got going Jetta - tough and committed Jones - slowing but vital Kennedy Harris - not enough tricks Kent - injuries cruelled season Lever - sadly rarely seen Lewis - love hate relationship O.McDonald - showed impressive development T.McDonald - versatility proved vital Melksham - important forward ingredient Neal-Bullen - a quiet achiever Oliver - dynamic and important Pedersen - thanks for coming Petracca - exciting yet disappointing Petty - only limited opportunity Salem - skills were sublime J.Smith - showed some signs T.Smith - failed to impose Spargo - clever but limited Stretch - injury ruined year Tyson - was rarely valuable vandenBerg - tough but limited Vince - limited by age Viney - the bull returned Wagner - displayed limited skills Weideman - far from convincing

And whom would you praise in 3 words for today’s performance?

Jones - career worst game Viney - couldn’t impose himself Melksham - the Essendon player Smith - showed some glimpses Hannan - played little part Oliver - always under pressure Weideman - looked a schoolboy Harmes - tried without effect Petracca - a major disappointment Brayshaw -fumbled and stumbled Gawn - had no impact Spargo - little to enthuse Frost - kept at task Hibberd - obviously played injured Jetta - loose and overwhelmed Lewis - nothing to commend O. McDonald - amateur 3 quarters T.McDoald - had no influence Neal- Bullen - was he playing? Salem - succumbed to pressure Tyson - last Demon game vandenBerg - tried but careless

Lewis showing all his finals experience ?‍♂️

In those days there was a massive banner affixed to the exterior edge of the ‘outer’ stand , now called the Southern Stand , and in the vivid colours of red and navy blue it read: FOREVER FORWARD DASHING DEMONS , THE GREATEST EVER EXPONENTS OF PERFECTION FOOTBALL. Then, from recollection ,there were some words about how the MCG was ours❤️ It was a huge and imposing banner that adorned OUR ground and we were proud and unforgiving landlords?
