Some people still have problems praising OMac !!! As Roos said he urged Frost and Omac when they were competing against LeBron and Shaq to bring the ball to ground. Not bad for an inexperienced pair !!!

Struggled to find a bad game amongst all of MFC. Some were not perfect, but a lot were terrific.

I agree TRengrove is a great versatile link in our side. We still have not seen the best of him .  And there is young Angus to come . Woopy dooo!!

If only they were playing on comparative players of the calibre of LeBron and Shaq. It was more like Hasheem Thabeet and Anthony Bennett. 

Weird how you only highlighted one "R" in Jack's surname.

I thought Chris Dawes was very good today, He did what he had to do and there is no doubt in  my mind that we look a better side with Dawsy in it!

Surprised Hunt only had 13 touches. He seemed to be involved a lot, particularly in the first half.

Hunt has a lot of involvements that don't show up in the stats the AFL give us.  I'm pretty sure the club does have them and are taking note of the number of defensive acts he commits each game.

A fan, but jetta's worst game. I believe he was sick. Regularly beaten today but picked up when game won. I don't think he should have played when we have other good players missing. 

VDB was pretty good. Possessions may not have been what some were but he is a good all round talent and does valuable stuff. A vital part of our depth in best 22

Premiership players all have weapons to contribute. Hunt has weapons good kick, can mark, good courage for a light body, but his weapon is his speed for both attack and defence. A couple of years and he will be burning.

I was waiting for that Old Dee. Glad I was so wrong. I bow to your better judgment.  Great win. Beating Collingwood TWICE in a season is a wonderful feeling. Cheers mate.

I thought Varcoe had the better of Jetta tbh. Jetta played okay but in most one-on-ones, he was beaten.

If he was sick then that makes sense...I would have expected him to struggle with Varcoe's pace at times but not to be beaten and out positioned in the air which is usually one of Nev's real strengths.

He got the ball about another 13 times but ran himself into trouble and was tackled each and every time.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
