Beautiful night. The smoke from the BBQ where they do the bacon and egg rolls (and now hamburgers as well - very filling) was just hanging above the ground for at least the whole first qtr.

Several players have made good contributions but none has dominated for the whole time they've been on. Maybe Trac has been the most in the play so far. Others who have done very well are ANB and Gus, and probably O Mac. Those with reasonable cameos include Pedo, Mitch White, Hunt, Viv. Saw very little from JKH before his injury. Garland hasn't done anything special.

I guess ill be the one to ask, anyone think Trascca could debut vs the Pies next week?  Or if not next week vs the Tigers the week after?

Is Trac playing midfield or high half forward?

Yeah forgot to mention Weeds. Been alright. Getting around and is good at chasing up when they try to run out of defence. Has had a few attempts at pack marks but he's not quite big and strong enough yet to dominate those and has had a few bounce off his hands when jostled. He has time to grow and will be much better for a bit more beef to help him stand his ground. Showing pretty good endeavour though.

I'd highly doubt this week and be very doubtful for the Tigers game. At most 50/50 for the saints game imo

Lots of love from the boys for Trac when he kicked a goal from 45. Big embrace from Gus in particular.

Plenty of lip, super confident, smarts around goal - that much reminds me of Jason Akermanis.

I would like him against the pies.

He could then rag doll 3 pies, to make up for the 3 hat rag dolled Watts.

But I think the Anzac Eve game looks likely.

I wouldn't put him in yet. Think they are still managing his time on the field so he would not be able to contribute a full game.

But then we've seen the selections this year already so I've got no idea what they'll do.

Brayshaw in space on the wing fluffs the kick, barely off the ground over 5 metres. Turnover, goal Frankston.

Speaking of the dolphins they arent great, casey will need to ensure they run this game out with no bench.

Loss of mitch king not a huge impact as the frankston ruckman is a total goose. Not even sure he knows where he is at the mo. 

Weideman wont debut next week. Shows good signs but when the balls on the deck up the ground he seems to make poor decisions and has a few turnovers as a result.

For those wondering petracca is predominantly at half forward, few stints through the middle. Hes exciting but not dominant. His brother looks exactly like him, assuming he is who i saw. 

Brayshaw the dominant player on the ground and anb is working into it the longer it goes as expected with his endurance.

Michie does not have enough tricks and wont make it.

From the twitter seems like they are snapping points at well. Any chance they want to put it through the hands a bit and take better shots??!

Garland's a mouse,  how is he part of the leadership group lol. 

Unleash the truck!!!

Weeds - nice mark on the wide flank and wobbler of a set shot that went through for a goal.

The radio callers are getting every 3rd or 4th name wrong on the far side of the ground. Don't believe all you hear.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
