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. ???

Waiting still.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
