Interesting using Frost as a forward! How good would it be if he became our Mitch Clark replacement! Then we would need to fast track young O. McDonald to take over Chip's role.

I feel Dunn took Frewlys spot last season as key Backman.

What i dont understand is why did we pick up Frost to play in the forward when he is a Backmen? Why didnt we just get forward instead then?

So our top 5 draft picks from the 2014 draft won't play a single Nab Challenge game between them.

This is a very different list.

Agree, but dammit if I didn't want to at least get a glimpse of Billy the kid.

If you have nothing to do Saturday arvo, you should be able to see him and Brayshaw at Casey from 12.45 onwards

Not an easy trip from Canberra old fella. Hopefully KC will be reporting.

Didn't realise you were in our wonderful Nations Capital, lived there for 20 years, have a daughter at Wright and one at Yass, is a bit of a hike to Casey, considering whether to go myself, if I do may do a report, depends on what other half is doing, want to see Brayshaw in action myself

What's Frost's set-shot kicking like?

Fair to say i have never seen him take a set shot. Melbourne and GWS.

WOW! Fabulous news!

Looks like our best 22 will be available for rnd 1!

Careful.....

To a point. Realistically it was only Stretch that was a chance with Petracca gone, Brayshaw copping a few head knocks, ANB kneecap issues and Ocar McD not really ready....

Still it takes a bit of pressure of the young guys which can only be good....

It looks average at training. He kicks it too up and under and not overly accurate

TDI just wanted to say a quick thanks for your continued contributions here.

One of the rare few that present information we would not otherwise get from our desk jockey lives. Much appreciated.

Don't be discouraged by the comments of those with nothing better to do. Many of us open this thread simply to read your reviews.

It wasn't funny the first time

That's your opinion, I made myself lol when i thought that one up, and that is all that matters.

That's a fair call but I'm pretty confident that Brayshaw and Stretch would have been included in NAB Cup/Challenge action at some point in any of the past 8 pre-seasons.

No doubt at all...

He struggles with accuracy and timing when kicking outside 40 metres. As Earl mentioned before, he gets plenty of 'air time' when trying to really slipper it.

which makes me want to see him down the back half particularly given his height, run and carry (and his relative inexperience). Still team balance is the issue and the coaches will make that call.

    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
