    Trengove would have got most of his disposals by HT.  Looked good.

    Mod's,  can we have the Casey thread pinned at the top, at least while Trenners & Petracca are making a come back?  we can maintain all the updated goss',  & also gamedays.

    I think the front half of season in AFL will be up & down after today,  till we  settle our side with some more experienced talent.  Dunn, Trenners;  & then Petracca,

    Some positive news in this thread at least. I know Trenners, Petracca and even Weideman will come in time, but I am really happy ANB had a good game (by the look of it). He is one of the fittest guys at the club, and I think there is a spot for him in the seniors, as early as next week after today's debacle.

    I arrived about 10 minutes into the first quarter and as I walked in Trengove took a strong mark and kicked a great goal from about 40m.  It was a great sign.

    It took me quite a while to work out who was who so I might have missed some of the good work by the MFC listed players in the 1st quarter by half time I had them pretty much pegged.  Having said that it took me till the last quarter to pick out Jayden Hunt.

    Alex Neal-Bullen was the best demon player over 4 quarters, played in the centre and was constantly in the game, kicked a couple of goals following the ball forward.

    Dunn played well at full back, looked short of a gallop but seemed to get better as the game went on.  Half way through the 3rd quarter he came off for a spell and i heard him say to someone on the interchange that he was fuched but he played a good last term.  I think he'd be right to come in next week.

    Trengove was in everything early, moved very smoothly was clean and made good decisions.  Looked to be doing it pretty easily at this level to be honest.  He was rested for almost all of the 4th quarter.

    Petracca was very good in patches, he was off and on the bench a lot and came off about half way through the 3rd quarter.  He has great hands in traffic, very soft.  I was surprised to see he had 20 touches.  

    Hunt - As I said I didn't realise it was him until the last quarter and he was good.  He used his speed a few time and broke the lines but tends to blaze away and not kick it to the advantage of the forwards.

    Weidemen was good, took some good marks, positioned himself well in the forward line and kicked straight from what I saw.  Still very raw, but isn't afraid to throw himself into the contest.  

    Hulett - another i didn't realise who he was until late.  Will need time but did some nice things leading up to the wings.

    I'll think of more later, any questions just ask.

    Cheers,

    HB

    Based on what you saw, who would be in the frame for elevation next week?

    ANB was Best On Ground and I expect him to come in.  Dunn was solid, didn't do much wrong.  He probably comes in too.  Trengove was probably next best but I think he'll need more game time before coming into the Melbourne side.  I thought Stretch was pretty poor to be honest.

    What did Trengoves kicking and pace look like?

    Kicking was outstanding, can't think of a miss or at least a complete clanger. 

    Pace wise, he had plenty of time and space around him whenever he had the ball.  He looked to be getting around for the most part at about 3/4 pace.  I don't recall him sprinting or needing to sprint at any stage.  He never looked rushed but didn't look quick like Hunt, Stretch and Frost

    I feel like one of Stretch or Grimes have to come in. We just need the run. I'd go Stretch unless he was poor.

    Similarly I think we need to consider how well White, Wagner and Hunt played because we might need of those guys in at half back. 

    We can't keep going with the same guys in those spots.

    Just on Frost he does some absolutely spectacular things, like bursting out of packs and sprinting through the middle but his kicking is terrible.

    I'm not sure what his role is or will be in the future.  Not a forward and he is not a reliable kick for goal and is kicking from Defence would be a liability. Not tall enough to be a decent ruckman.

    Tall wingman?

    I thought White was disappointing, tbh he looked a little overweight and slow. 

    Wagner was good but his first movement and action is to look sideways.  He probably had a dozen kicks at CHB that went sideways.  They hit a target, but didn't advantage the team all that much.

    Grimes was solid but he was far from dominant for someone who should be a level above VFL.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
