Will post my run down a bit later on once home.

Show a bit more commitment mate - surely you can write it up on your phone with one hand while driving with the other!  Priorities!

144 point margin, with 3 players down... maybe we've got some depth coming through.. :)

The pleasing thing is we really could see a number of players come through in the second half of the season and, for a couple, earlier still.

One thing seems to be pretty clear and that is that Brayshaw and Petracca are going to be insanely good AFL players, that's our Boak and Gray

Nice antidote for the Essendrug debacle

Half of tonights Scorps team will be in the MFC team in the 2nd half of the year and a bunch of them have the potential to be AFL stars

He's not a team player Wiseblood. First report should be in by now. I don't give a shite if he's in a booze bus. Make it your one phone call. As you said, priorities.

Great for confidence. Good work boys!

Absolutely, and while it's against poor opposition, it does put pressure on the boys playing tomorrow. Plenty waiting in the wings to take their spot if they don't perform.

Exactly. They did exactly what the seniors were too complacent to achieve last week, so this is a great result.

Bloody awesome. Look forward to some of them coming on

Petracca played at half forward flank,in the middle and in the forward line.He looked comfortable in each position but liked him most in the middle.He oozes confidence and has the skills to back it up.

Neal-Bullen, Hunt and maybe Oscar McDonald the best placed to come in. Pedersen to put pressure on Frost to perform. I'd be surprised if Jeffy isn't right for next week.

Not buying that much has changed with Brayshaw and definitely not Petracca on the back of one game against ordinary opponents. Same for the Weed.

Petracca presumably played decent minutes, which makes it his first full game back. Surely he needs at least 1 more hit out. Weed got the end of a few up forward, but who wouldn't in a 150 point win? McCartin kicked 7 for Sandy, didn't touch it for the Saints last week, knocked himself out this week. Brayshaw looked a mile off it last week, really short of a run and not nearly as clean as we expect for him, 1 week wouldn't have fixed that entirely.

I'm genuinely excited about what those 3 can do in the red and blue, but one night out doesn't change much for me.

Maybe we should swap teams and give the seniors a break. Might freshen em up ?

    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

    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
