I reckon they want to play both.

Garlett won’t be around forever, so I think you’re on to something here!

One of the things I like about Hannam is that he accelerates into contact and uses his body to impact the opposition.

For some reason his movement, snaps and leap reminds me of Gary Ablett Snr... which can only be good. 

That’s actually not too far of a comparison to make, you and the ‘taller player’ comment by @faultydet are great observations!

Dead set freakiest of freaks. I’ve always maintained that Ablett and Carey are the only two players I would pay to go and see if Melbourne weren’t playing

And to think that Yablett Junior is as good or even better.

I saw Mitch this arvo at my local supermarket. I nearly knocked into him in the fruit and veg. Every isle i turned into he was there. Honesty, I wasn't following him. 

Libba jnr was there as well. Fortunately they didn't go into the chemist's across the road together

Well done to Mitch. Took his opportunity with both hands and was a key factor in the win that got us to the finals for the first time in 12 years.   13 touches, 6 marks, 3 goals, great pressure and almost a couple of huge grabs.

Wouldn't be surprised if he gets votes from the coaches.   A dangerous player who will only get better.   ?

Did not think he had it in him, but he was absolutely instrumental in that win.

Him, Melksham and Hibbo as Ins absolutely won us the game.

Weids also more than held his own.

So glad we have this bloke locked up.....  he is such an X factor and he has shown he can deliver in big moments and big games.  Love watching him play.

I wonder IF we should term it Locked ON... rather than locked In, or Locked Up?

Very tidy, Handgun Hannan, very tidy indeed. Keeps his feet in a contest, quick along the ground, can take hangers, tackles and harrasses, kicks all types of goals.

What more could you ask for from Handgun, both he and Fritta are prime examples of the schrude trade business we have completed around our close range picks.

Hannan a poor man G.Ablett snr,perhaps Petracca is the poor man's A.Jakovich, T.Mac the poor man's W.Carey. We have lots of poor man's whatevers but overall who cares as long as we keep winning.

Has been a great addition since coming to the Dees, to average a goal per game is not bad considering how many other forward options we have ATM.

A canny VFL pick up.  Mitch, Bayley and I wonder if we have one in mind this year....

It would be great if it could be C. Wagner.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    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
