How long until we see Davey, Jetta, Bennell, Woneamirri and Jurrah all in the same Demon lineup?

I dont think it will be too far off to be honest.

Exciting times ahead for all fans of the MFC.

    interesting you didnt mention Wheels in that group of players. without enciting a riot considering where we are at as a side and the kids doing well is there a need for his return . turning 30 this year he will not be part of the next push . have we seen the last of him?

    Good point Al, maybe when the season is all but over & all the bro's are playing a good brand of footy, the club may give Wheels a send off to remember with all the Bro's together. Hopefully at the 'G'.

    Comrade YM.

    I don't know off the top of my head who 39 is - blame it on the young kids - but he gunned it all day.

    Jetta and Bennell look absolutely fantastic. Both are quickly becoming favourite players. Bennell runs like a junior Wirrpunda. And Lynden Dunn looks like Andy Bichel.

    Have you seen Jurrah play?

    Jurrah is still a way off playing AFL.

    That would be Jetta.

    When I said not too far off, I didnt mean the next fortnight, or even month.

    But it will happen around mid season, or just after.

    Bennell and Jetta, yum.

  • Quote

    I have been singing Jetta's praises since before the season started and I can now sit back and say 'told you so'........I spoke to them at the Intraclub and walked away totally impressed..............they are both going to be very good players for MFC.

    Any grovelling apologies from anybody who wanted him dropped after the first game will be gratefully accepted

  • Quote

    I also spoke to Wheels at the post match function...........he is itching to get back, the last two weeks he has got a corky, told him to avoid opposition knees and elbows...........he is itching to get back.........and is cursing his luck............he loved Bennell's game...........he will be back.........and also once back he wants to play another year.........so will be fighting to get it...........great........

    Jetta was super today! He looks so much like Leon Davis.

    The thought of just Jetta, Davey and Wonnaemirri in the same team is quite good! :)

  • Quote

    both boys were great today... my only concern over Jetta is his kicking, he does shank quite a few, shanked one massively today... but he has all the other tools to make it... work on his kicking and he'll be an effective target... once Aussie is back it will be a real test for him to hold his spot in the side...

    I'm a massive Wheels fan, and hope he plays this season out well, but with Bennell showing us a lot so far, Grimes hopefully to show us a lot throughout the season, I think this will be Matty's last...

    I really hope he can get fit, back in the Red and Blue and finish out the season strong... he deserves nothing less... and a farewell against the Saints at the G in Round 22 playing alongside our other aboriginal players would be a fitting send off...

    Had a brief chat to Whelan when he was sitting with the rest of the Melbourne boys in the ponsford stand during todays game. He's ready to go and seems quietly confident he can re-discover some of his form. I think you're all forgetting that injuries aside, Whelan is possibly the best tackler in the team. And unless you guys were watching a different game to me, these young Melbourne bodies can't seem to make a tackle stick. Not for the time being anyhow. Id imagine with more weights and more pre-seasons they will become a better tackling side, but at the moment we need hard bodies like whelan.

    how long do you think it will be until we see an all-caucasian MFC team line up?

    who cares

    Ideally never

    its time to learn to tackle, the role of back pocket specialist is a dying breed,

    Moloney was ferocious in the tackle today.

    Bennell is the most exciting of the new players for mine, he looks like he could be anything. Reminding me of Bruce.

    :D

    Whelan is a long way from done. Apart from the obvious ones, like Neitz, Whelan is one of our most important players of the 2000s. Not only that but he's one of the only mature-age leaders in the club who I rate highly. I want him in the side this year and next as soon as possible. Let him make his exit gracefully and while playing, then turn to the kids. While the defence has done well so far, they're not a finished product. Wrecker is, and always has been, the complete small defender, and just about our only one in the last 10 years.

    This is why I'm not giving up hope. Aside from Green, and possibly Mcdonald, we lack leadership from older, more mature, heads. Whelan brings this to the team in spades with his intensity, work ethic and attitude.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
