This week Tom McDonald, Jack Watts, Mark Jamar and Jack Viney made the AFL team of the week. I cannot remember the last time we had one entry let alone 4 of them. Great that Viney was recognised for the work on Ablett.

Wines and Trelor also made it - it is worth looking at their photos. Seems like they were taken in the under 12's....

Here is to many more!

That's no mean feat considering the quality of the Freo v Port game and the frighteningly good performances of the Hawks and the Crows.

Picture of Jack Watts gracing the article as well.

Maybe it's just the cynic in me, but if we had have got smashed on the weekend, Jack Viney would be getting chastised left, right and centre for playing a rough tag on Ablett.

It's amazing what a win means other than just the 4 points.

Not sure about Jamar and Viney in the team of the week. Both were good, but not amazing. Happy for Watts to get recognition and McDonald is very well deserved.

Excellent effort and well deserved by the lads (although I suspect that it will get up the nose of some Demonlanders seeing Watts there)!

Watts over Jack Riewoldt? Stiff.

But 4 Demons, 3 Hawks, give us the premiership now.

Re Jamar, you don't need to touch the ball in the second half to get in the team of the week? The other three were very good.

When was the last time this would have happened? In previous years we wouldn't get 4 in the team of the week with a decent win in a split round!

Riewoldt was playing against a rabble

Watts game was much better

I suspect that you always garner more points in a winning team as indicated by the leaders in the Brownlow voting. Nice to see how we go this week against the same rabble? Another four MFC players will be nice!

p.s. Also nice to see that the coaches rated Watts, Viney and McDonald in their 'Players of the Round'!

    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
