T. McDonald - kept opponent bereft

O. McDonald - far from convincing 

Hunt - one exciting run

Tough on Mitchie - thought he was pretty good.  Wasn't as enthused as you in relation to ANB and Newton.  Thought Watts was OK in the Ruck, but still question marks over his hardness at the contest.

Interesting selection dilemma with Tyson, Jetta and potentilly Dawes to come in.

Dawes!

I do not see anyone who would keep Jetta out in that backline today.

Tyson no problem if he is well will be playing in AS.

Happy to keep Watts rucking Old, or bring Pedo back in?

Hogan - Best on ground

Stretch - best young improver

Kent - seemed very uninterested

Garland - Lucky to play

Michie - A filler in

Gawn - Third time missing

O. McDonald - not best 22

Agree about Hogan, best on ground followed by Stretch and Watts

Hell no.  He kept his man to 5 touches and a single point  while racking up 18 disposals himself at 77.8%.  You can't knock that effort from a young defender.

Michie is doing the role asked of him and will keep his place.

Roos gives new players 2 games minimum to cement place and find consistency.

We have good depth with B+ players next step 1or 2 Agraders and foundation is there

Billy Stretch was definitely best on for mine.  Ran all day and neat by foot especially. So 3 words for Billy are best on ground or runs all day!

I have a feeling you weren't at the game today.  

Jonathan Freeman kicked a goal on him by the way, after missing 2 easy ones.

Fumbled 3-4 times

Overran the footy twice.

Missed 3 crucial tackles.

Outbodied too easily.

He would be smashed in other games with this ...

I was indeed at the game.  Oscar had one job - to negate Schache.  He did that as well as you could possibly expect.  Meanwhile his brother was outbodied and outmarked repeatedly, yet nobody seems to be mentioning him at all.  Indeed, the comment from joeboy is "T. McDonald - kept opponent bereft" making me wonder if he doesn't have the two of them mixed up.

So you're complaining that a kid in his fourth game fumbled a couple of times and was overpowered by older, stronger athletes?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    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
