I was again rapt with some of the performances today..

Simon Buckley was excellent, showed some really good signs!

Martin was sensational, looked the part, this kid is a real BIG talent! with composure!

Morton played a good second half, and again looks 2-3cm taller!!

Valenti is getting better all the time!

Garland is Garland...

Dunn took another scalp!

CJ is really coming into his own, wow, was great!

Bell was Bell, thanks 4 coming!

Newton, well, hard to say, had a bit of a crack, needs alot more games..

But overall, alot of positives!! Especially Martin and Buckley..

Ive never EVER seen us have so many quality kids, its genuinely exciting!

Its not far away guys, not at all!

morton and valenti were crap.

morton was hesitant, fumbly and couldn't hit a target by foot.

valenti was bad by foot as well and tried to do too much when he had the ball.

stef martin was a plus, as was garland. thats about it.

Bell was excellent on Brad Johnson in the midfield, and provided some good bursts from the backline. But don't let your hatred get in the way of facts now :rolleyes:

Morton gets to all the right positions, then he is ignored by his teammates who suffer from tunnel vision.

Martin was great, and was extremely unlucky with the free paid against him. His composure really impressed me.

Is that a complement or an insult?

It was neither, just saying he should never play again, mr awkward he is!

Morton was good IMO, im not worried about the fumbles...yet..

Cale moves really well! youngest player out there, has alot of upside! be patient!please!

We kept the Dogs to their lowest score of the year. Very happy with the backline today, for such a young group they held their own against one of the best forward lines in the comp.

Only the second defence in the league to keep the Dogs to under 100 points... with all our injuries... AND on their home turf no less....

Finding one KP defender is one thing (Garland).... finding two is another (Warnock) and finding 3 is unbelieveable (Martin)...

I liked him today. Saw him chase on many occasions, took some great marks.

We would all be going crazy if he kicked straight, would have had 3 or 4 goals.

Bulldogs supporter asked me about him, said he looked liked he could be a superstar with his marking ability. Just got to work on his kicking.

Freak by name, Freak by observation.

Your credibility just went down big time.

This is a growing team. They're meant to be Hawthorn right now?

Time for a reality check.

And while we're at it, is that Big Col you've got as your avatar?

Start throwing stones where they're deserved rather than at our youngsters.

It was just the other day 'Freak' was criticising Col.

:lol:

yes...i rather think a certain #12 has cemented his position high on the "EOY revision list "

Never a more honest word spoken....

Col was terrible today!! Valenti and Morton were awesome compared to him!! Col's decisions were pathetic and his disposal was horrible!

That would suggest he had some to start off with.

Kept the Dogs to their lowest score this year, so that's a plus!!

Very well said mate, its very promising indeed!!

Add in Rivers (if he ever gets his body right) plus a developing Frawley, and wow!!

there is a reason that valenti wasnt named in the best.

i'm just a few steps ahead of you guys. i have also said on numerous occassions that jones' kicking is [email protected] get shot down, yet you guys are so surprised when he turns it over by foot.

not to mention me wanting to keep wheatley on the list when half the people on this site wanted him delisted.

petterd is our best youngster coming through and by a fair margin. unlike most of our youngsters he doesnt have a coronary every time he gets the ball

Loved Stefan Martins game today.

Hes gonna be a gem.

Not to mention your endless crusades against Miller, and the pathetic way in which you attacked him at every opportunity last year.

Get over yourself, everyone else has.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
