I know we have had bugger all to fell good about for a very long time.

But can we all take a breath and hold back a little.

The guy has played one quarter.

Can we please give him a few weeks before we all orgasm and pronounce him the next saviour.

Salem and Tyson will both be elite IMO.

Kelly wil also be elite.

2 elites vs 1 elite?

we did very well out of this trade

Yes, but it's worth remembering that 85% of players on AFL lists are elite...

Nobody has called him the saviour

We are just excited by his debut and rightly so

Let's temper our enthusiasm.....he's played for 5 minutes.

We're so desperate for a shining knight that anyone who kicks straight and looks the goods is the messiah.

PS. I loved the way he moved.

lol.. In that 5 minutes, he out played Watts and Howe...

But i do get your point... Hopefully there isn't to much hope/pressure placed on his shoulders... He looks the part, but its early days...

This is the slight worry. Those are the only three young midfielders that we can put in the bank. Very early to say that about Salem after one game but unless we completely bugger it up, he looks the real deal. Can probably add JKH to the list if he is to be modelled into a midfielder. That's four bankables, along with Jones obviously but he's not as young as he once was.

The rest are currently looking like questions marks, if we're being honest - Toumpas, Trengove, Watts, Michie, Kent, Blease, Tapscott etc etc.

We still need to bring some quality youngsters into this group.

Yeah, it's a worry but it's less of a worry when it was just Viney as your blue chippers to help Jones.

It is looking like Salem and Tyson will be around playing good footy for a while.

Bloody early though.

So much ti like about this

So much balance, great marking action even though he didnt take it, great recovery, great poise

But my fave part was the strength to flick his opponent out of the way on to the ground

then the balance

then the kick

Love this kid. And look at the chest on him!! Some people thought he wasnt physically ready LOL. Hes stronger through the body than any other debutant Ive seen this season

Obviously you haven't seen Luke Dunstan play.

Tyson has played all of 20 games, Salem a qtr and a bit. Some great kids who will develop together. Dunn's been brilliant. When Garland comes back Pedo might be dropped. Yes he's improved his game but he is depth for the list.

id drop Watts over Pedersen... At least pedo is showing desire...

Except, they're playing entirely different positions.

surely the position you play has nothing to do with desire? Im confident that Garland could play where Watts is playing...
Posted

You're right, T. It doesn't. But Watts is playing on a wing, with occasional rotations across half back and half forward. Garland is solely a defender and Pederson is a KPF/B and 2nd ruck. They're very different, IMO.

When we are discussing the MFC neither can I jr.

Out side of the MFC well that is another story.

There are however A large number on here who have the problem every time someone gets 15 possessions in a practise match.

I've heard about the female organism, but I think it's a myth...

Bloody iPad spell check.

Never happens on Microsoft.

I suppose Microsoft has to have something good.

lol lets give them each 10 year contracts and announce them our saviours.

Might even be able to get grange wallis to paint a lovely picture of the pair dragging the club from the depths up a ladder?

of course I'm kidding!

tyson looks like he has some class, has trouble handling a tag at this stage.

salem played for like 15 minutes? that 15 minutes looked good, but ill save judgement till he's a played a fair bit more id imagine.

One of the best things about Salems goal was the fact every single player in the team got around him after he kicked it. It used to make me sick that when we were losing by 100 points our new boys would kick a goal and noone would even high 5 him. It's a great sign of the change in culture at the club. Players are playing for one and other again.

You mean like JKH's first career goal vs West Coast?

Clearly the players had a stern talking to by the coaching group after that disgusting oversight. Remnants of the shithouse culture we've had for years.

Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.

    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
