Well! Well! Well!

And I thought he was just a list filler! Silly me!

Slippery little blighter isn't he!

Great (effectively) second game from the young man.

There's a few players when they get the ball, you're pretty confident they'll use it well. Bail is looking like one of these. Grimes is definitely one. Davey too of course.

Loved the multitude of occasions when he crumbed off the back of the pack after the kickout. I can't decide if this is a set play or not, to pelt it out to Jamar and have him force it over the back to the runner, or if he was just reading it off hands really well. Either way it was impressive and set up a lot of attacks for us. Also came very close to getting the opening goal of the match again.

Not to be a smart arse but heard befor he was drafted that he was a really good footballer with all the attributes and athleticism to make it, as well as a good head on his shoulders and some physical resilience.

He did finish 4th in the QAFL three years ago, above Dayne Beams. Really like this kid and he hits it hard.

Well said, i thought he was great today and unlike some others we have on our list that try there heart out i really want the ball in his hands as he makes excellent decisions, has time and is a good user very very impressive if he can keep it up we have picked up another impressive young man to go with the others we have seen and hopefully some we are yet too see gee its bloody exciting isnt it

He looks the goods!

A couple of slightly indecisive posessions (as you would expect from a third (second) game) but geez he's going to be a ripper!

Takes the game on, is quick of the mark, has a good tank and kick is awesome.

I was really impressed with his game today, he continues to run and get into space which is really effective. Also his seconds efforts were impressive. Good on him finally showing why he should stay on the list

Showed today he belongs at this level. For me he can now develop at his own pace and I'll be happy knowing this.

Also has a penetrating kick, as shown by that out on the full beside the behind post. Against the wind and about 55m. Did anyone see if Newton actually got a hand on it as he claimed?

He definitely did. I reckon if Jamar hasn't fought that contest Newton would've scored something because he bumped Newton going for the ball. I was just undercover directly behind where it happened an I was like 'hang on, why isn't the ball being thrown in?'

I actually counted ten whole free kicks Melbourne should/could have been paid. None in the second half of the third quarter or the last funnily enough.

-------------------------------------------------

I'll fuss up as well.

Havent seen much of him before the season began.

Thought for sure he would have been cut,along with about 4 others.

But I'm impressed so far, lots to like about him.

I thought he was about to do what he did last week, that was kick the 1st goal of the match,but just couldnt get a handle on it,the chance was lost.

He is a massive bonus for us this season, for me anyway, because I knew nothing of him before this year, except that I was there to see his debut last year (ha!). Looks like he belongs at AFL level already, a real positive to come out of some of the spots opened up by the injuries.

His aerobic power is something. I think it was Bate's goal in the 3rd when he ran from half back was something special.

If that was the one where he kicked it down to the HFF and was in the forward pocket to receive a second later then yes. That was good. Go Ro.

his dating sam bleases ex missus too. intresting. played a top game bails!

Dazzler where have you been with these little kernels? I haven't seen one in ages!

What I can't understand is, if you look at his modest beginnings in the game... why is it that pretty much NO player on our list plays like that within their first 3 games? Is it just that he's a little older?

I have a pretty different view.

While I quite like Bail, I think he needs to use the footy better and that seems to be the biggest issue with him as we build towards a flag.

Nice size and motor though, and I'm sure he'll get plenty of opportunities.

Like others here, I thought Bail was excellent again yesterday. I have been a big rap for him as an MFC player since I saw him play a Sratch match against Sydney at OO last preseason. He showed a heap that day and then missed a bit due to injury. I had the pleasure of playing against Rohan in JNR footy and he is not only a good bloke but a great player. Let's hope the GC don't eye him off as well as he is from the Coast

Use the footy better? He's not Robinson Crusoe there tiger....

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
