I have always believed that the superstars of the game have that something extra that lets them rise to the next level when the game is on the line.

I felt exactly the same way seeing Dom Tysons match winning goal on the weekend, since then I am very much of the belief that he will be a genuine superstar

the future is in good hands lads.

I like to use my own player comparisons to see what I think these players could be

Grimes- Enright

Hogan - Pavlich

Viney - Selwood

Tyson - Judd

JKH - Pendelbury ( I know this one is strange but I see the poise and smarts here )

Salem - Jordan lewis

I don't think I have seen enough of Tyson - never seem to spot the kid when he gets the ball.

Viney I think will be a star (wish he was 2-4cms taller).

Think of it this way...his body shape gives him a low centre of gravity which makes it really difficult to knock him over. Leigh Matthews, Peter Daicos, Dane Swan and both Gary Abletts all had or have this attribute. It's a wonderful advantage in a hard, body contact sport.

But I guess the question is, is it a hard, body contact sport? I guess we will know in a little over an hour.

Tyson oozes Pendles, not JKH.

Tyson has all the time in the world, and even when tackled will hold onto the footy and wait to dish it off to another team mate.

Love this kid.

Fully agree. Tyson is Pendlebury like & going to be worth every cent.

Cant say JKH is anything like Pendlebury mould IMO.

Then watch him... Tyson is quality.

Viney's height makes no difference. Jack is low to the ground, in and under, crash and bash.

Crying over cms is ridiculous.

JKH to Pendlebury comparison is crazy. I like the look of JKH but i cant see any comparisons worthy of noting.

Watching Kennedy tonight, I can see why Roos got Tyson. Both not overly quick but very strong in close and good hands.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
