"Bugg - was rarely noticed"...he was certainly noticed by a number of Tiges players and that's all that matters...he unsettled them and put them off their game. I loved the way he went about his game today!

Tmac - great intercept marks

And horrible kicks to follow.

Really love Jayden Hunt's attack, dash and creativity. I think we have a fantastic player on our hands with Hunt.

Shanked a couple but did some nice things as well.

Definitely did some nice things, but there was a patch of a couple of minutes where he kicked three straight to the opposition and one out of bounds. Just refrain from kicking - I have to close my eyes when he has the ball now.

Otherwise, he's fantastic.

I like Hunt but absolutely love Josh Wagner. I feel at peace when has the ball, he doesn't panic and makes good decisions.

Wagner is going to be a good player, whenever he has the ball I feel at ease.

Wagner has absolutely shocked me the last fortnight. So composed.

... especially considering his early games. He's easily best 22. Big tick to the recruiters.

Yeah I must apologise, he has been a revelation. Sheeit I was wrong abut this Kid, but happy to admit a mistake I see a Lot of Anthony Ingerson in him and he's a better Kick!

Loved Bugg's game. Good in the clinches.

Disappointed with Dunn's game. Continues to do more stupid things than beneficial things.

It is no coincidence that the team plays better with Lynden Dunn in it! Should never ever have been out of the side! A fixture methinks!

Bugg?? Best game yet.

He was in their face.. Pointed to the stands whilst running into goal after taking a speccy..

yeah didn't notice him at all..

maybe watch the game next time..

Bugg wasnt bad for mine. He certainly put a few richmond players off their game. Dunn a few errors but still worth his spot in the team. He has missed a few this year. Will get better. Still wouldnt mind him having a go up forward and moving Pederson back. While Pedo is only averging half a goal a game, his marking and effort has lifted.

Petracca may come in for Brayshaw next week.

What I like about Bugg is he's a throw back to Zantuck and when we had a couple of players who were [censored] but they were our [censored]

Ha. Bugg was massively noticed. Bigfooty right up in his Grill.

Love your Dunn respect. Demonlanders should take note.

    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.
