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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
