I hate these fluff pieces.  I almost mark that player down for a shocker.  Who gives a stuff if he went to Luna park?

 I like that he got a rocket from Grimes and McCartney and turned himself around, though.

Same here - a double page spread with pics usually guarantees the subject will stink up the joint that day

Unless he is a genuine superstar. These fluff pieces always expose the pretenders. I'm more worried that it may be an injury causing curse

Almost as bad as winning the Brownlow before you play a stinker in the GF following Saturday. That's a lay down misere.

Its so easy to forget that Hunt, CP and Oliver (our three most likely elite in my view) have played just over a combined 50 games. The sky is the limit for all three of them.

Ummmm Hogan..!? 

Did you see the stats comparing best forwards after 29 games in HS?

He should be on one of the back flanks in the AA team.

Carlon fans are pushing for that Docherty guy to get in. Give me Hunt any day.

On this basis Salem's in for a shocker too

I think the wider footy community is starting to twig onto the fact we've got a good number of kids that can seriously play. 

Will be a good day when they're all firing together. ???

Liked him forward today. He's strong overhead,  and a decent size.  Could he play centre half forward more regularly?

What was the actual headline please, so I can google the article?

Stopped the Dorks kicking it to Hodge. BTW did you see Hodge punch him twice in the shoulder he hurt? That was just before Hodge slammed him to the ground after he took the mark....

Someone should take Hodge out. He's an animal. Will never forget crunching Wingard's (I think it was) head into the goalpost with his hip...

Great potential, wheels and certain skills but kicking remains a problem. 

Along with so many.

He wastes many kicks going inside 50 that should at the very least be to the advantage of a forward target.

The part about the owls was a bit cringe worthy

It's happened to me before.

I'm much wiser for the experience.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
