Michie? 4th best on stats/possession. Game High Tackles for both teams. Only 72% game time.

Everyone flukes one occasionally.

Dude, you're always ready to take a shot at the guy for making mistakes. How about giving him a little credit when he deserves it? On a night when most of the team went with the "hit and hope" method of passing, he's nailed a pinpoint kick over the top of the defenders and on to Garlett's chest. We all want him to work on his disposal, but when he gets it right you want to call it luck?

Harsh on garland, he was playing on an athletic 198cm forward.

Jack Grimes - not good enough!

Seriously, this bloke won't get a game.

Where did you get the game stats Samael?

I reckon Vandenberg will be an inspired pick. Potentially an absolutely sensational bit of recruiting here.

Of the new recruits (ie, not those established players from other AFL clubs: Lumumba, Frost and Gartlett), I reckon he could very well play the most senior games this year.

He looks ready to go.

    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

    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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.
