My 12 year old son and I just love watching the work of Angus Brayshaw. His attack on the player and the ball is amazing. We've begun to just call him "The Bull". A wonderful mix of skill and aggression, and he is so no fuss about it. Mature beyond his years.

Hopefully we have 10-15 awesome years of watching this star.

Watching the replay. Who'd have thought I couldn't wait for it to come on :)

I feel like some players are being coached really well to play to their strengths. Wattsy has been given permission to get caught with the ball, because they know he's hard to bring down because he's tall, he can get his hands clear, and because his disposal is genuinely clean. As a result our players are learning to know he'll stand up in a tackle and to run off him. Created goals today because of it. Consistency and playing together will always make a better team, and we are only at the start.

So happy for the boys.

well

ANB =. The other small forward we needed.

well tyson was named in the best list at AFL .com so could have played alright then, nothing wrong with him.

I think 186 is dead and buried, it should never be said again.

Can't help but look back at the saints loss and as even bigger missed opportunity. Could have been a game outside the 8 going into the bye.

Still, feels good.

A very happy day. The Dees beat the [censored] and my daughter is about to give birth to a grandson. Not sure which I'm more excited about. Don't tell my wife I said that.

The whisky tastes good! A fresh bottle bought yesterday to wet the baby's head - not sure there's going to be much left. Ah well, there's always beer or champers.

It's a clear and balmy 4 degrees on the golden plains, cigar in hand, stars shinning in the sky.

I don't even give a [censored] about work tomorrow other than I'll be on the Geelong line Melbourne scarf and hat for all to see!

Could someone let me know how Watts was today?

Watts was really good again today. Makes the right decisions and rarely misses targets. And his physicality is improving.

If I say [censored] cats, does that get censored?

Gold. Had no alternative script or banner ready!

Watched in the Daylesford pub sitting at the same table as an Adelaide supporter who quipped....Gee Vince never played like this for us..........

It IS hard to believe. A very very rare talent. He is a one touch handler with no preferred foot. I particularly love that he lopes like he's stuffed, then BANG!, he's gone and the ball's suddenly in the forward line in a teammates hands. As pure a footballer as I think I've ever seen.

Good call.

Was talking to my Dees mad nephew after the game, and was trying to explain to him that I see Robert Harvey in Brayshaw. He had no idea, but was [censored] anyay, so all good.

I like the fact that Watts seems to have taken the next step with his game.

I liked the fact that in the last qtr when he slipped off a tackle he put in a second effort which affected the kick of Motlop (I think) at goal.

Was good to c and I am really encourage by his last 3 weeks.

Keep it going.

This is the point - they're beginning to trust each other & play to each other's strengths.

And Gawn has made a massive difference in giving us first use of the ball at clearances. Has a huge upside when he can run out a full game.

Going to have a big clash with NicNat.

Thank god Dunn step u today.

I predicted carnage. And put $100 on Geelong.

Delighted to be wrong!!

Happy to lose the $100. (Won more than that betting against them the past few years anyway.)

Go Dees!!!!

    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

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
