I liked that he kicked that centre clearance low and hard into our fwd 50 instead of another big up and under high ball. that's something we don't do enough of imo.

    Struggled to find his way however a couple of nice things as previously mentioned and I would certainly play him again this week now that one is under his belt.

    Got to love this....nice work.

    It looks like McEnvoy? came from the side a bit mindful that Kielty was running straight at him. Great work for a first gamer.

    Snap.

    Just saw the giph and thought exactly the same thing.

    The forwards didn't mark it but were able to bring it ground, which is a harder task when bombed high and/or to the defender's advantage

    Kielty's debut is an interesting experience in social media.  Drunkn is a fantastic contributor to Demonland and gives us a unique insight into how a player's family ride all the bumps with their son, brother, partner.  I have big hopes for Kielty and hope he has a fantastic career with us, but the site in general has been much more accommodating of him as a player than we have with most others.

    We would do well to remember that every player in our team has a family and afford them the same respect that we have for the number 45.

    He's played one game which we won. Wait a few weeks...

    He would want to do more to keep his spot in the team, especially when Weid finds form. But what a dream come true to play your first game off the rookie list in a win at the G.

    I'm more referring to people over the last few weeks calling for 'spuds' to be delisted whilst in their first year on a list.

    Calling for a player to be dropped is fine, it's the manner with which many deride young players trying their best that seems to have been missing in this particular case.

    TPF 39. Couldn’t agree more.

    I have had my say numerous times regarding disrespect being shown to players who despite trying their darndest, and having been successful in being selected for AFL lists turn out not to be stars (or even making the grade at all) being referred to as spuds or worse. 

    They obviously don’t understand that there is in all populations a normal distribution in which a large percentage are in the middle and small numbers at each end. There always has to be someone at the left end of the bell curve. That doesn’t make them spuds or duds.  They have at least achieved what most of us could only dream of. 

    Perhaps it is they who are at the left end of the bell curve when it comes to normal human empathy.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
