Disappointing game overall - very little run and not the pressure we have seen them apply over the last month. Nevertheless, here are my votes:

6: Bruce (He was one of the few who attacked the ball and attempted to run out of defence)

5: Bartram (would have been the best but I was annoyed by him letting Harvey run around him and kick a goal)

4: Dunn (just needs to be more consistent within a game)

3: Grimes (for his 2nd half)

2: Scully (great dash and commitment)

1: Green (was a target but needed to be moved on the ball)

Very disappointed in Joel MacDonald, Stefan Martin, Jared Rivers, Colin Sylvia

6. Grimes (only player to give them run out of an overly tall backline)

5. Green (presented well and helped get them back in the game up forward)

4. Jamar (battled well against one of the 3 best ruckmen in the comp and probably took the points, just!)

3. Scully (after the richmond game his best for the red and blue)

2. Davey (very good in patches, didn't do enough however)

1. Bennell (gave them a lot of run, impressive outing)

Please explain.

I thought he was just OK. Nothing very special, and needs to overcome his habit of doing nothing in the first half.

He was very good in the third quarter when Melbourne got a run on.

I didn't think he was that good. And playing one quarter out of four isn't good enough.

Needs to lift to keep his spot over Wonaeamirri, Jetta and Maric. As well as Cheney, Strauss, McNamara, Bail, McKenzie, and the upcoming return of Morton and Jurrah.

There's no reason to think Jetta is ahead of Bennell, Maric doesn't seem too likely to come in and Aussie will need to build a lot of fitness up before he'll be promoted.

Cheney, Strauss, Bail, Mckenzie and Jurrah all play different positions to Bennell.

Jetta played better last year as a forward than Bennell has over the last few weeks (on average).

Aussie will take Bennell's spot in a canter if Bennell doesn't improve.

I think it will be hard to justify keeping Bennell in the side when those other players return from injury (the later ones, not McKenzie and Bail) or get in decent form. Unless Bennell improves. Which is the point of my first post I guess. He's not giving enough over 4 quarters atm.

Please tell me you're joking

    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.
