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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
