The boys abover are still boys. Whixh is what makes them so exciting

Thanks DC, but really it should have been "1 voters" (sic)

Getting lazy in my old age.

I don't see much of Pendelbury in Brayshaw at all to be honest. I think he is going to be a great player but I can't see the similarities at all

Yeah, I love Brayshaw, but I see Tyson as more a Pendlebury clone.

Met him briefly at the Casey Community Camp when I was getting autographs for my daughter - got that touch of Brayshaw smartar$e about him which I like!

Much taller in person than I thought too he's not that much shorter than Hogan, should be in for a great year.

 

I really hope not.

I'm a big fan of confidence but despise arrogant smartar$es - like his uncle.

Although from I've seen he seems like a nice young man and I guess if he plays great football for us it doesn't matter too much.

He's seemed a great kid and certainly doesn't lack confidence put it that way! Jesse on the other hand is really shy and quiet...of course I am basing all this on 2 minute conversations and I'm sure they are well versed on being on their best behavior in front of fans.

I like his bravery, i like his smile and i like his humility

And how about his decision making, positioning and kicking to advantage?  I like them even more.

Yes, and his evasion, measured celebration and onfield thought processes, sick

I'm a doubter...

Good player but until he can hit a short kick target under 30m he'll never be a great.

The amount of times he over / under kicks short passes for a player who is clearly so skilled is infuriating.

Eliminate those basic mistakes and he'll become a great as he knows where to run and how to get it.

He only averages around 14 disposals a game, will need to increase this significantly in 2017.

Again, I don't know what type of player he is because he isn't a inside player and his skills aren't good enough to be an outside player.

Gus, first two years (one with concussion) I thinks his trajectory will be far steeper than it has been for 2017-2019  -and  for me,  he reminds me of Darren Jarman with inside/outside game -positioning and penetration  - Post script - DJ's stats wise (K 13.5, HB 5.5 and G 1.6 per game)

I heart both his 2 sidedness and pumpkin headedness.

He has a strong frame which is fortunate as it needs to support a bulbous cranium.

He will be a serious player

Yeah, he has played a lot on the flank under Roos though...

He doesn't play a huge amount of midfield minutes and in the games where he has his possession counter rises quite a bit, I think that stuff will come in time but I doubt the coaches would be worried about possession numbers for him at this stage

As we've seen with Bontempelli, you don't need to get it even 25 times to be best on ground or exert great influence.

The thing that's always excited me about Gus is his ability to hurt the opposition with almost every touch. Almost all of his long kicks set up goals and his ability to kick on either side of his body is an absolute weapon.

20 Brayshaw disposals are the equivalent of 35 Viney disposals and that's nothing against Jack. He's just not as dangerous with the ball in hand. Not many players are. But Gus seems to have an acute game sense and importantly an ability to execute. 

Having said all this, I'd agree he needs to up his possession count. Given his interrupted second year, I'd be happy if he averaged around 20 disposals for 2017. That'll position him nicely for 2018 and the Melbourne explosion, when these guys have played 50+ games together.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
