While I will always be a Demons supporter through and through, I have watched more non-MFC games this season than I ever have before. I've come to enjoy watching many non-Demon players and marvel at their skills. Who is your favourite non-MFC player to watch? Are there any names you can think of that should be added to the list? Why do you like watching these players?

It's hard not to be impressed by Gary Ablett. We knew he was good at Geelong, but after his move to the Suns, without the supporting cast he had at the Cats, I think he's shown how great he really is.

Luke Hudge is another I like to watch, although he hasn't been out on the park much this season.

Pendles and he is exactly what we need, shame he signed earlier this year... Don't know why but I had some hope we were going to throw massive cash at him and maybe snare him, both our on field and off field dramas think quashed this pretty quickly

Bartel & Hodge for mine. Love watching Ablett, Franklin & Rioli's freakish skills, but love the hardness of Bartel & Hodge and their abilties to just get the job done when it matters. I'm hoping Trengove is another player in their mould.

I'm with you, especially Luke Hodge - monstrous competitive spirit. No quarter asked, none given.

it's to depressing watching 2 sides play well at the moment...i prefer to watch movies inbetween Demons Thrashings at present.

I must admit wyl I am similar.

However I have signed on mentally as a Hawks follower.

I might even squeeze in a live game in the next few weeks

Not sure if they are playing on our bye weekend but that might be it

PS just checked they play the Lions on our week off that will be a slaughter so maybe not

In terms of skill when Buddy is on fire he is incredibly exciting. Reminds me of what Ablett Snr. and Carey used to do in terms of becoming the sole focus of a game.

For endeavor I love Ablett Jnr, Bartel, and this year Lenny Hayes.

I also love to see the mature aged recruits do well. It's good for the game and flies in the face of some of the over thinking that goes into player development. Some blokes just have the desire. Pods, Tory Dixon, our very own Mitsubishi.

Paul Chapman. Tough, uncompromising and brilliant. Love to have him in our side. Goal sense is fantastic. Ablett and Judd also great to watch.

P.S. Just read that Chapman played with Melbourne reserves before he was drafted in 1999. A big fish who got away. We had him and let him go.

    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
