Jeez it's hard to see through the red mist to do this one today. I'm still trying to snap out of it. Talk to me again in a few hours.

6 - Vince - was prolific and rarely failed to use the ball to advantage

5 - Toumpas - was outstanding and creative until the last quarter

4 - Jones - we suffered whenever he was blanketed

3 - Gawn - outstanding performance in the middle ,

2 - Cross - what can't he do?

1 - Hogan - frustrating but still a presence all day

6: Bernie

5: The Toump

4: Cross

Jones misses out because in my opinion he wasn't as switched on as he should have been at the end with the set up

6 - Vince - really dominant game

5 - Hogan - 5 for 5

4 - Watts - influential and is strarting to realise how good he can become

3 - Jones - broke the tag

2 - Toumpas - best game for the club

1 - Viney - killed Steven for the most part

Viney undid any good will with that dumb jumper punch and not picking up Jack Steven for the last 2 clearances that resulted in that goal

N Jones was up there but cancelled out any good work with lack of leadership when most needed. Needs to stop celebrating goals in regular time and get on with leading and getting the job done. Celebrate only WHEN/IF we win...preferably after the siren!!

Viney also with a number of brain fades and failing to man up Stevens in the dying seconds.

6 Jones - Almost every time we kicked a goal, it was through his excellent ball use

5 Toumpas - Beautiful outside midfielder game. Best game at the club.

4 Hogan - The first of many many many bags

3 Vince - Just keep running and creating opportunities

2 Cross - really want this man to stay on for another two years

1 Dunn - almost back to his best. Would have lost by a lot more if he wasn't on song.

6 - Jimmy Toump - yeah thats riight folks. The Toump has arrived, 26 touches, 8 tackles and 2 goals.

5 - Bernie VInce - a legend who never tires and racked them up again

4 - Jesse Hogan - best 20 year old Key forward ever. Wont be 21 til next year. Freak.

3 - Jack Watts - when hes switched on his kicking and decision making are elite. Hes going in harder too.

2 - Nate Jones - prolific and a truckload of inside 50's

1 - Jack Viney - that tackle, plus 24 touches and a goal

Apologies to Crossy

No votes for Jones today. Poor leadership again and he is really not having a great year. His numbers might look ok, but he is playing selfish football. He's not going in for the hard ball as much and is calling for cheap handball receives. Really hoping he starts breaking these tags and having more of an impact on games as we are missing him firing recently. Would also be great to get guys like Tyson and Dunn firing again!

NB: Many will give Jones votes but I thought whilst he got a lot of ball and cracked in he played a selfish one way game.

I thought there was one thing he did that was really bad...He covered the mark when he needed to take the harder option and cover a moving player. He manned the mark, the forward I think it was Hogan should have taken it as Jones was in a better position to take the other player.

Though this was very lazy footy from a leader and hope (pretty sure it will be) picked up in the review...

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
