I've got no idea about Balic. Where is he playing? Whose role in the senior side would it compare to?

Melksham, ANB, Harmes

    Believe it or not, the Casey FM van is bogged at the Coburg ground. That's why I'm listening to Bob Dylan instead of a call of the game at the moment.

    Sounds like a great day for Weideman and Balic. Two players who are a different type to who we have in the 1sts ar the moment and could develop into handy AFL players. They would add a lot to our team if they keep developing.

    Its way too soon for Weide, but this is exactly what the doctor ordered to get some of those monkeys off his back.

    Now lets see him grow his game from here.

    Just remember, Balic was rated a top 10 prospect in his draft year if it wasn't for his wrist injury..

    A huge talent indeed! Could be a surprise wildcard if given the opportunity..

    Balic took a great mmark but a lot of easy goals. Promising but not yet.

    You've still got to kick them.

    Really hard to judge the effort today as the Demons were on another level by comparison to Coburg.

    To me Coburg lacked key defenders and a few talls. It is for this reason that I marked the Weid down from a goal kicking aspect. He did however lays some good tackles and was constantly involved in the game. If he can do it again next week against Werribee (another unaligned club unfortunately) then he will be knocking on the door.

    Loved Spargo and the group that I call the over 50's (because of their numbers) were not disgraced... Balic, Petty and Baker.

    I saw Gus in tight a few times but cannot say I really noticed his game. JKH and Pederson put on some one quarter clinics (Pedersen in the second and JKH in the third) and were at least serviceable in the others.

    All in all a very pleasant day at Coburg Oval ... and a very nice salad roll for $6.

    I don't think anyone said he wasn't a good VFL level player...but he's not an AFL level forward.

    I don't think they were bogged... rather the truck went down the back of the mound on the wing :)

    yep and did some good stuff

    seems to have a bit of nip in him.

    Hunt did not set the world alight from my observation.

    Had a few chances to run and carry and went the chip kick ... would like to just see him run anyway... even if caught today we would have still won by a  lot.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
