Though he faded out in the second half, I thought Davey looked much better. He looked threatening when he claimed possession and kicked some goals reminiscent of his olden days.

Thoughts on Davey?

Gave his all ,looked fitter than he ever has.

Can actually play football.

I'll give him a pass mark. Just. And to be honest, he's about the only one. At the end of the day, it does't matter how well he started, they all ended up not trying.

Really surprised me, looked pretty good and has that deadly disposal still.

I think he's a bit leaner than the last couple of years too.

Being over in the US at the moment reading a small positive, no matter how small, is a nice change.

We should give him the ball as much as possible. The best kick in our team by so far it's not funny. Far from our worst.

He made me pine wistfully for those halcyon days of 2004...until I remembered how we collapsed into an abominable heap that year and lost to none other than Essendon in that gut-wrenching Elimination Final.

FLASH made a comeback tonight, not Aaron Davey as he's been for 2-3 years but FLASH that bloke that excites you when he gets the ball. The bloke who runs hard and tackels harder. I've missed him, I don't know where he's been but I'm sure glad he's back.

Was ok in patches and a nice fluke goal. Still on the soft and unfit side, but not much different to his brother.

Was the best in our impossible forward line as in its impossible to get a kick in. If he was a true footballer and leader he'd be on a half back flank in the trenches.

But for what he can deliver he was ok

Fittest i've seen in 3 years. I was over him after the squib but he seems to be back to some sort of form which is encouraging and was a small glimmer of light this evening. Not sure why he wasn't played at beginning of season. We lack toe and skills by foot, and he at least has that in spades versus most of our other boys.

On the half-back line? You mean like Jack Watts?

Yeah, Aaron had a dip. Though he didn't play four quarters. Worth a game next week.

From what I've seen of the first half, he was one of our best. I'm sure the entire 22 was pathetic for most of the second half, but Davey showed more than most in the first, so ease off him this week at least.

Best I've seen him play in a long time. Tried a lot harder than many of the others wearing the same jumper. They're not a team so I won't refer to them as such.

Was probably in our top few tonight. Two exciting goals was a huge bonus, our only 2 exciting goals to be honest. Pity is, over the last couple of years he's been very quick to discard after showing good signs and then a bad performance. Unless he goes completely off the rails, he's an important player to have out there.

I am an AD critic but he attacked the ball early on. Took some heat and did OK. Haven't seen that from him for a long time.

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.

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
