6. Hunt- He tried all game, and keeps getting better. Being the house that the wolves can easily blow down didn't deter him

5. Petracca- One of few who read the ball forward of centre. So chunky but knows how to move with it.

4. Vince- Was the usual kicking machine. Not sure if he actually played well or the no.23 made him look like it

3. Gawn- Was always gonna always dominate the ruck, wasn't an amazing game but made few errors. Disappointingly little umpire banter.  

2. Jones- I dunno why he's in the votes. Habit maybe? His brother won this family battle however.

1.Watts- Was shown in frame a lot. If this were a movie he'd be a main actor. That said the stream was kind of blurry so at least I think I saw him near the ball a lot. He won't be getting an Oscar though, that goes to repeat offenders on the ducking front and the only Oscar on our team isn't held in as high stead. But without a doubt it is Jack's best season to date, although we were left wanting a couple through the sticks from the man a Collingwood fan coined "Mrs Watts" from standing room last Monday.

I certainly only saw bits of the game but I find it interesting to observe that in a game against a very mature battle hardened side in awfully challenging  conditions Hunt and Wagner appear frequently in the posters' assessment of better players on this site. 

Would anyone in their wildest dreams have thought that this could happen prior to the season?

Good recruiting, great development.  Hats off to those departments.  Now on to a reformation of the selection panel.

I didn't watch the game so only going off the demonland votes but Hunt seems have polled exceptionally well. In such a wet slog I would have expected bigger bodied players with more experience and much longer time in the system (gym) to do well.

6 Vince (hard and prolific as usual but almost all of the side didn't create much, but didn't stop trying).

5 Gawn (Clearly one of our few winners on the day, although understandably didn't mark well)

4 Hunt (Loved his chase down on Heeney on the boundary. Made a few errors, but didn't they all. But broke lines when he got it.)

3 T-Mac (Why is it that so many here, judge him so poorly each week. He played mainly on Franklin, who got on the end of a few as you'd expect when he's plonked in the goal square for much of it).

2 Watts (Classy second half and showed that it was possible to kick the ball 45m accurately like the Sydney players often did).

1 Jones (Toss up here with Petracca, but he did lift after half time with Vanders).

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
