Slowest player I've ever seen. When running he looks like he's wading through Port Phillip Bay with seaweed caught around his legs. Being slow in itself, while not desirable, would be OK if he compensated with deft tap work or strong contested marks. But he doesn't seem to have those skills, either.

Yeah all true - i wonder how long he will draw defenders because he doesnt look like he can do anything other than stand at this stage. He did do a few decent taps.

He seems to have some hunger - I've seen a few optimistic chases and uses his body well but as has been said, just way to slow. Crashes the packs well, wouldn't mind a mark now and then though!

If he could mark he'd be a good player. As it is he's a less athletic Stefan Martin that wins less of the ball.

Was pretty good tonight, loved that Neeld had the balls to do what we've all wanted for 3 years, put Garland forward, and credit to Sellar for doing his job to make it work.

Sellar was very good, and tonight he showed he can kick and run. I have to admit being very surprised but he definitely earned his place tonight.

Needs another good one next week.

Perspective says he's had one good match for the season so far.

Here's hoping he gains confidence and cements a spot in the side. Big body and has some talent.

And wasn't it great to see the joy and passion on Clarks face when the siren went! Only been in the club for a short time but wants us to win desperately. Copped a heavy knock in lower back early in the match.

Clark looked like we had just won a flag, he seems rapt to be at Melbourne.

Certainly will need another one like tonight next week with the gorilla Cloke. Fitted into the defence very well.

Poor Blease can't take a trick - did anyone see if it was a kick?

If Frawley is back it will allow Garland Another hit up forward vs the Filth.

Good coaching and selection.

Said it before, but he spent all pre-season playing back and looked ok and then as soon as the real stuff starts he goes forward, looked completely lost and was just generally not up to it. Goes back tonight and plays a pearler.

Actually has a lot of good traits as a defender who can play on the resting ruckmen or gorilla forwards. Will watch with interest over the next few weeks, and hopefully he stays back.

Why wasn't Sellar in the middle of the song with Clark and Magner? New boys first win I would have thought?

Yep hes a back, not a forward and gives us options with Garland

Would still like to see Tom Mac get the job on Cloke though

He was far better as a defender than i've seen as a forward/ruck. He could hardly get a touch in that role and he got 18 possessions tonight and kept Ryder out of the game completely

Gotta say he wasn't bad, not great but certainly not bad. Fingers crossed Frawley in for old Macdonald then next week.

Nevertheless, Old MacDonald wasn't bad tonight was he?

    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.
