Howe was ok, but not composed. Double hand spoil on the boundary line, missed spoil in the last quarter that led to a Kelly goal but worst of all multiple running torpedos from the back half, I mean what the heck is that all about.

You could have summed it up in three words for the hole list.

They are [censored]!

Watts seemed to be showing some urgency in the contest.

Byrnes - small and slow. Not a good mix.

Kent - he looks OK to me. Has pace and has a go.

Terlich - got caught twice at key times. Didn't look good.

Spencer - like his endeavour but, when your opponent gets 60 hit outs, that's a disaster.

Fitzpatrick - was he playing?

from today

AFL standard: Jones, Tyson, Cross, Howe, Frawley, Grimes, Vince, Watts

Tryers who are in 22nd-30 player depth status: Terlich, M Jones, McDonald, Dunn, Pedersen

Delist: Spencer, bail, byrnes, evans, Fitzpatrick

Developing: Viney, JKH, Gerogiou, kent

You cannot have too many Tryers and Delistees and Developing in your best 22

True we have very few up to the standard. This is our main problem.

Grimes; admire his courage and commitment but not up to AFL standard. Let Frawley go has been no good since his all Australian year. Watts? sick of waiting, perhaps he will have an impact back at local level.

He's one of the few who might have decent currency on the trade table. Not only that, it would send a huge message to those who remain on the list after our much needed end of year cull, that no-one is safe, not even the captain.

Way to build the culture and purge the memory of rooting Jnrmac, Bruce and Green before their time. Idiotic.

Howe and Vince were dreadful today (though are AFL standard normally).

Dunn is close to our best and most reliable at the moment. He's not 'depth'.

I agree Dunn is playing well and is definitely in the best 22.

N.Jones - trying too hard
Grimes - robotic and jittery
Watts - sporadic, nice skills
Viney- better for run
Frawley - he's a backman
Byrnes - tried but struggled
Tyson - clever but overwhelmed
Dunn - has finally matured
Kent - shows a bit
Cross - battled hard again
Pederson - better down back
Vince - needs dry track
Kennedy- Harris - shows some promise
McDonald - disciplined and effective
Evans - dropped chest marks
Howe - showed his adaptability
Bail - back to Casey
M.Jones - fringe/depth player
Terlich - copped a spray
Fitzpatrick - just too inconsistent
Georgiou - hard to beat

Spencer - tried but beaten

Howe and Trengove are the two i'd be floating as trade bait

Howe maybe though Trengove is one I think it would be more advantageous to keep and hope that he improves radically because we'll get next to nothing for him.

That's a good point, if we got a second round pick we'd be pretty happy i reckon

That's an issue though, I wouldn't want to give him away for anything less than an end of first rounder. He's obviously not worth that but there's something inside me that knows that if Trengove goes to another team, he'll become a great player again.

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
