One thing I did like from the video is once he went to ground he was getting straight back up again, too many players take far to long getting back on their feet.

Shows a desire to compete

Remind anyone else of Frawley's chase on Jetta?

2010! Yes! Great chase.

Wouldn't say it's a master-stroke based on two pre-season games, but the early signs are very good.

I noticed McDonald himself was more assured of himself with ball in hand today too.

I actually think it was, and will prove to be, a masterstroke.

Pick 23 (or whatever it was) for this guy, especially in the context of the club losing our most experienced/best defender as a free agent to the Hawks, is an absolute bargain.

And we got Brayshaw for that defender we lost, whose absence I don't think will particularly hurt us given the recruitment of Frost.

Salem and Tyson for pick 2 was also a masterstroke.

The club finally seems to have worked out how to draft and trade players.

Y'know what's annoying? When you read a thread and find an entire page of a thread is filled with lame puns/jokes. I have no doubt it's hilarious when you're part of it...

%100 agree nasher. However I'm wondering if you meant to post this in another thread. Can't see many puns in this one

I really didn't think it was worth such stern PUNishment.

What I find annoying - primary administrators who take it on themselves to decide what other people should find funny. There was nothing offensive in what was posted. You had no right to be so heavy handed.

Gawd, we've gone early here! Don't want to wait until he actually plays a game?

Dont need to. Showed great signs at GWS and has already shown in 2 games with the MFC that hes an athletic freak that takes game on.

People will soon be asking why GWS let him go,

Mate, I'm sorry, but most people open threads because they want to discuss the topic in the title. I have deleted posts I have personally found funny many a time, when they don't have a place on the site.

I'm not being the humour police, I'm being the needlessly and intentionally off-topic police.

I'm sure if WJ and Demonland think I'm too heavy handed, they'll bring it up with me.

Fair enough. Put it down to pre- Monday grouchiness

Will become a key to our defence for the next 10 years. He's an athletic freak and loves a contest. He'll play both shut down roles and rebounding roles. Another great recent piece of trading!

Cant think of any tall forwards with pace like that. Will be good to see him play on Bud though!!

Talk about a frosty reception (I'm hoping this wasn't one of the puns that was deleted).

Remind me - was that a few years back when he wanted to play for the Demons?

It's Lumumba by the way. However, you are not the only one putting an A instead of an O. Cheers mate.

O'Brien was a lot easier to spell (I think it was, not O'Brian)?

I think he was in the middle of contract negotiations

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
