Pretty hard to get a game with a calf injury that's kept him out all season.

He was a decent player who filled a need at the time. I don’t know why people feel the need to whack club and player for no reason over ancient history.

Jesus comes from a basketball background, he'll never have the hardness to be a top line AFL player.

I don't think he has registered entirely with me...

What is he? 20?

He just got 11 clearances, kicked two goals and had 27 disposals against a very good midfield.

WTF?

Same. I was expecting a developing midfielder, not an instant gun.

It's hard to stave off the Syndrome though - I keep thinking: "what's the catch? At what point will this blow up in my face?"

Interesting that in the article on the MFC website, Roos again reiterated that we would not have taken Kelly had we held on to pick 2. I suspect they wanted Salem and took the view that he'd still be there at 9. If that's the case, we got Tyson basically for nothing.

Sounds pretty rosy. Since we'll never know the truth, I choose to believe it :)

Can't remember the name of the function, but soon after the draft was complete, Jason Taylor apparently told a small group of diehards at said function that they rated Salem at 3. My guess is they had Boyd at 1 and Scharenberg at 2.

Hopefully the start of many more masterstroke decisions for drafts to come.

He also did something on Saturday night a few times that showed me he is growing in confidence.

Most of our midfielders who grab the ball in the centre throw it on their boot immediately. A couple of times at least Dom opted to run with the ball and drove it deeper to a contest. A much better outcome than a blind kick in hope ( a blind kick in hope is still better than no clearance at all !)

Anyone else sort of feel like everyone else is in slow motion when Dom has the ball in traffic, he seems to have enough time to sit down and read the paper while he ponders where to send the ball

Hearing reports he will get the rising star nomination.

I didn't think he was eligible. Can anyone confirm?

If he is eligible he would have got it before this surely, he has had some ripper games.

You have to remind yourself he has played just 21 games of footy... Will be an elite player of the comp within 12 months!

The beauty is, he has a great foil in Nathan Jones. Who do you tag? Jones or Tyson? You can't tag both. Very excited by our young brigade, but Tyson just oozes class.

Plus Viney.

When was the last time we had three mids as the first-tagged option??

I love Jack but he is not someone that teams would bother tagging just yet.

He gets the footy from stoppages and off the floor in contests and does a few highlight reel escapes from those situations but if he wants to become the player I know he desperately wants to become - his game is going to have to evolve in a similar way to his Captain.

Jones hurts teams with his link up play and had running to help under pressure defenders and fellow mids.

The start of Viney's career has been promising but he would not be worried about by other teams just yet.

I think there is a lot of Jones in Viney.

Jonesy used to (and still does) win a lot of ball close in and neutralise contests without getting the footy out.

When Viney does get through he often chooses the most attacking option, as Jones did.

As Viney's games sense improves he will start to get the footy going our way and learn to back out of traffic as Jonesy did.

And Dom Tyson is just what the doctor ordered.

I'm really impressed with Dom's sheer workrate.

He was also one of the few blocking for the tagged Jones that also made his game all the better.

One particular block (MCC members wing in the second quarter I think) allowed N.Jones to receive the tap down and clearance from Jamar which was delivered inside 50.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
