To casey players mostly. He was an enormous presence in this game and as I said actually gets involved in the play and runs hard.

Is it wrong to get excited about a player a year in advance?

Can't think of anything more exciting happening at this club to be honest.

Also good to see Strauss and Gawn in the best. Bring them in.

No Pedestals........

I want gawn in.

Did you see the stats for Jamar today?

38 hit outs (to who I would like to know) he had zero input. Gawn must come in.

I totally agree that Jamar's worth around the ground is zilch. I also agree that he is ripe to be replaced as soon as the other guys are fit & ready. However, I am a very analytical eye when it comes to the centre bounce/ball up. Jamar was excellent today in the centre re-starts. He was much more effective than last week in giving our midfield first touch. He mixed it up more (which was a major criticism from Bombers game) and he cleared a path. So those critical of his ability to time the jump, thwart opposition and get the tap aren't watching closely. But we all agree there is more to being a gun ruckman than that in the modern game. That is why so many applaud Cox.

Maybe you didn't notice who he was rucking against. Were you at the game.

Cox has the tank and smarts of a midfielder. He works bloody hard and is a smart footballer. Jamar is none of these things.

I cannot wait for r1 next year when Hogan lines up. Im shattered he isnt available this season as he would be great right now.

I think its great for Hogan that he can spend the year in the VFL. He will benefit more than getting the best AFL defenders and playing in a losing side.

Yes I noticed that he kicked a goal. I was going by the named teams; when he was listed as a starter in the Development League; I didn't notice that he had been upgraded before the match.

Shame that Watts did not play yesterday and that the MFC held back all three emergencies (Watss, Rodan and Spencer), at the "G" instead of allowing one or two of them to travel to Ballarat for some match practice!

Sorry if this has been mentioned in this thread already. But last night on the TV they were talking bout watts not playing any football this week, Apparently he had to hang around the MCG because one of our forwards was under a cloud (mitch).

Yep Because our last 8 Round 1 games have been f***** brilliant. We carry so much momentum from the pre season into the regular season. I love round 1.

Kent was in the best players - maybe time for a punt on the kid.

Yer it was - on the post above yours

It is annoying for us supporters but Neeld has given his reason. It was VFL or AFL emergency. He said it was a tough decision and he said he put the team first. He also said one of the talls was in doubt to play.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.
