Dean Kent and Byrnes standouts so far.

1 - Hogan (pre Draft)

5 - Toumpas (Pick #4)

6 - Dawes (Collingwood) - Not Playing

7 - Viney (Pick #26)

10 - Byrnes (Geelong)

15 - Rodan (Port A)

21 - Pederson (North)

27 - Gillies (Geelong)

33 - Barry (pre Draft)

34 - Kent (Pick #48)

45 - M.Jones (Pick #52)

46 - Terlich (Pick #68)

49 - Stark (rookie Draft)

50 - Clisby (rookie Draft)

 

To make it harder some guys changed teams/numbers at qtr time.

toumpas went from Blue 5 to white 2.

Sylvia and Davey also swapped. Sylvia has been impressive Davey I don't think has had a touch.

Kent has done quite a few nice things to fwd for Blue.

gillies in white was very lively. reads the play very well.

Both Geelong recruits have been standouts in their respective positons.

Defenders among the best (according to DemonsHQ) are: Frawley, Gillies, TMac and Strauss

Sounds like a chess game DD

Blease is easily the best player on the ground, Rodan and Byrnes doing really well, Jamar looks like hes in for abig season, Vineys a gun.

SOunds to me like Byrnes has dominated according to DemonsHQ MFC site..

 

I do like the sound of Kent. I mean who doesn't love Kent.

I have a feeling Kent would perform much better in wet weather rather then on a dry day however.

If someone could kindly direct me to the bookie who has available betting on most improved player this year, I'd appreciate it. :)

Why do MFC's new recruits always perform well every year for the Dees

Seems to be a trend...

Carefully H_T the ACC is monitoring this site


Good to see Hogan getting involved. Shows the kids got confidence from the word go

And may i add... After an off season of divisiveness were all back on the same team.

Thank Christ the footy's back :)

Looks like weve got a cpl of likely lads and a surprise packet or three.

Funny q i know but how clean are the hands and do skills looked to have improved ?

Only so much you can derive from training , match practice shows them better .

Cheers

Because they haven't had a chance to be "Melbourneised" yet.

My exact thoughts. Last year it was Magner and Clark who dominated early.

Maybe a good tactic will be to just turn over a massive chunk of the list every year.

Confidence is such a vital part of being a gun forward. Carey, Brown, Franklin, Fevola... Practically any of the elite tall forwards all possess that swagger and confidence. They go out and demand the footy because they believe they can win games.

Good to hear Hogan is having an impact and I'm really looking forward to seeing him in the NAB cup.

lyden dunn has been great in the blue defense as has watts, very composed.

Not playing today dawes, macdonald, gawn, howe, trengove, bail, clark, sellar

Any reason these fellas are not playing?

 

Toumpas and Mckenzie going head to head.

Good chance for Jimmy T to learn how to handle a bit of a tag. Priceless experience

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
