Inside mid has great vision and loves kicking the ball low and flat to clear it out of packs. Decent size his body is probably ready, maybe only question would be leg speed at afl level bit hard to tell as all his balls are won in close. 21 second half posessions today easily his best game, he read both Ruckman really well when they took over in the second half. Will they give gone a game against the saints? He'd be more comfortable than billy was but perhaps patience and a couple more games of that standard would give selectors no choice. Very impressive game

    well given he has an hyphenated name i'd say his decision making is suspect, so he should fit in nicely :lol::lol:

    For the kid to get 34 disposals at this level is outstanding. I think Jimmy Magner got more than 50 touches in his final year but that was against the now defunct Bendigo Gold in a 100 point plus whipping *

    For those who don't know about him, he's one of those hard nosed midfield extractors who goes well at the clearances. He might come in handy when he's ready (which shouldn't be too far off).

    * yes, I know I'm setting myself up for a comeback from BBO :)

    Typical bloody lawyer.

    Quick, nobody say he 'will be elite' or will be a 'future star/captain''!

    We ain't ruining another one.

    I never said that Song so I won't on this occasion but you are right a certain kiss of death.

    Just ahead of rising star nominations

    dunno about elite, but a future bluey winner and 200 gamer for sure

    Great summary mate. Sums him up to a T. The kid loves to compete, has a great tank for his age and goes all day. He'll bleed for us out there.

    this kid seems to improve with each game

    can't be development, so maybe we are finally recruiting some self starters

    O mac was terrific down back. And although they didn't have a heap of it, stretch and Harmes looked very calm and composed when they did have the opportunity. A few questionable umpiring decisions but it was a great game.

    It's not only that but there's no pressure to squeeze these young up and comers into the senior team immediately which is a result of our recruiting more mature aged players who have had first dibs at team selection so far this year. I'm expecting ANB to get two or three games very soon in the same way that Stretch got a couple of runs a few weeks ago.

    Whatever the case, things are looking up for our midfield ... and then there's Petracca.

    Pretty good summation. Not super quick, but has excellent endurance, will get to plenty of contests and will extract more than his fair share. Value pick in the 40's, could have gone 20 spots higher.

    ANB, the bloke I know nothing about who seems to be getting better every game.

    Someone tell me about him please.

    He's good mates with Stretch and was thought to be a good selection by Melbourne, when we picked him #40.

    Yes! Yes you are always assumed to be wrong on Demonland.

    Looking forward to seeing ABN soon. Won't be long before he gets a senior game I reckon.

    Tyson in next week. Hallelujah!

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
