6 - Jones - Once again, gave his all all day. Quickly realising his potential: obviously loving Neeld's new world order.

5 - Green - Alluding to his best form. Although I do have reservations about his next year, since it'd only be a rookie spot, I'd have no qualms about keeping him on, especially given the dearth of senior players on our list.

4 - McDonald - One of the few highlights in the continuing lowlight that is 2012.

3 - Grimes - Slowly gaining confidence and form. Will definitely grow to be a massive figure of this club.

2 - Sylvia - Couldn't deny him votes, but would love to see Col have this kind of form against a decent team.

1 - Howe - Doing some good things, and is slowly lifting his work rate.

6. Jones - another great four quarter effort. Work ethic has always been outstanding, but now plays within his limitations (which are becoming fewer, btw).

5. Green - shades of Brad in his younger days. Fantastic attitude, despite the set-backs over the last couple of years.

4. Sylvia - Good game Col, including plenty of run and hard work. More of the same next week please.

3. Tapscott - best game for the year.

2. Grimes - Slowly working back to the Jack Grimes we all want to see.

1. Dunn - Much maligned, but was good today imo. We need more in the back half with his kicking skills

6. Sylvia (as others said, would be good to see this against best teams)

5. Jones (most consistent and glad we have another three years at least of this)

4. Grimes ( gives his all)

3. Green ( great delivery to him and whilst picky did not like his celebration after 4th goal but good to see some enjoyment)

2. Howe ( worth going just to see him)

1. T.McDonald. ( looks a defender and even his disposal is improving)

Apologies to Trengove, Joel MacDonald and Spencer

you are kidding regarding his disposal aren't you?

it was dead set shocking today

just as many crosses as there were ticks next to t.McDonald's name for me today

Agree with that assessment. Tom has loads of potential, but needs a fair bit of work on his disposal. Couldn't get him into my top 6 in an even team performance.

6- Green- Brilliant game, could be back into his 2010 form. Easily our most able forward target

5- Jones- Continued to dominate, also held Ablett out of the game in the second half at least partially

4- Tapscott- Best game of his career, really made an impact in all areas

3- Howe- Flew around as usual and got plenty of the ball, 6 contested marks!

2- Dunn- Best game he's played in defence, great disposal, long kicking and speed

1- MacDonald- Really improved after being dropped regularly, he's starting to be that great medium defender we need

Grimes, Sylvia, Moloney and Garland were also worth mentioning, as was Spencer who I think is improving and is looking less clumsy

This is definitely a first for us. Nathan Jones has passed the double century before anyone else has scored a ton. That's Don Bradmanlike!

On Jack Grimes- first quarter - how ohh how can backing back into a player with eyes firmly on the ball and copping knees in the back in an unrealistic attempt to mark be deemed a push against Grimes by Schmidt. Sooooo clueless.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
