Oh @Big Demon - I hope that’s your handle and your real name is Luke Beveridge or Nathan Buckley

Will be an easy one to fact check next week Danelska, if he gets a tag you’re right and I’m wrong - if he doesn’t you’re wrong and I’m right.

Deal?

I actually thought his value the last few weeks has been his ability to spread from the contest and pick up those outside disposals.  He has been doing it (the inside to out role) much better than Tyson was, and it frees Oliver to be damaging inside without needing to be the first to spread. 

Fair call, Tyson has struggled for form this year sadly.

Jack Viney is out of touch....

Will be a lot better for it after the bye

I thought he got better in the second half. Got caught a few times in the first trying to just tackles

Totally agree with this. And the friggin ‘yews’ in every gap of the verse. Goes for all teams. There ought to be a singing/chanting coach brought in.

i really hate to say it, but the blues the other week nailed their song- proper tempo and no ‘yews’. 

Our boys have to lift 

I thought i noticed that too......didnt mind the indigenous version as well, sung before the game.

Viney had 35 disposals. If he is out of touch, god help the rest of the comp once he finds his touch.

In 72% gametime.     Hes back.

15 mins into watching the game. 

Wow. Ball movement, spread, marking...all of it! So good. 

Then I saw Hunt and Pedo running laps while the game is on. THAT says it all to me...

Have you not seen it yet DG? Get ready for a perpetual smile over the next few days.

Viney's 35 possessions when he spent least time on the ground (out of both teams) wasn't too shabby.

Not to mention that the 'expert' commentators expected him to have a downer in his second game back - they're talking about The Beast!

What an awesome day and well done MFC. How well have this club embraced the N.T and did anyone notice (sorry if alreadu mentioned) that the club went to the trouble of getting the song recorded in the local dialect. They played it as we came on the ground. Channel 7's coverage of the pre game and story on translating "Grand old flag" intoArrernte language were first class. Go dees

Viney getting that involved in his 2nd game back is [censored] frightening. 

The midfield we’ve assembled after years of rolling (with all due respect) garbage through there is an absolute joy to watch. Skill, heart, hardness, consistency... just a group of beasts. 

The back line is perfect for modern footy. 

The forward line is [censored] off good. 

And the greatest ruckman on earth. 

Haven’t had this much fun watching footy since 98 and 2000. And I appreciate it so much more these days. And at a time when 14 other teams are dishing up crud spectacles. Keep it going. 

[censored] yes Dees.

Anyone questioning Viney is clueless. Even if his 'touch' isn't quite there yet.

He was monumental at the coal face today and his pressure and tackling is out of this world. He wins scraps on the ground when he should have absolutely no right to win them. Two against ones, you name it.

I have nothing negative to say about today's game. It was by far one of the best four quarter efforts I've seen from this club.

The confidence we now play with is what is most exciting and I can't believe we're still injury free. 

Dees.

My boss is a mad Crow, he even sqwaks after goals, so much so that even though he lives in Melb he will tune into 5AA radio when the Power loses...

I really enjoyed going to Adelaide with him last year for the Dees game and had a $50 bottle of wine on today’s result... I’ll be putting witches hats around his desk before he gets in tomorrow.

That was one of the best games I’ve ever seen us play in my 40 years. Bring on the next 2 weeks and hopefully some great footy to boost member numbers and get a few people who may have left back on board.

And a big poster of Josh Jenkins on his wall!

Is it just me or has Viney bulked up a bit? Looks like a real beast as well as playing like one ...

What an amazing performance. We are in a serious run of form at the moment.

I thought our game plan was unsustainable and too taxing, but we seem to have struck a sweet spot recently, especially since TMac has been back.

Amongst a solid backline, Lord Nev kept Eddie in his back pocket. 

Pure defensive magic.

I remember in either the third or last quarter in defence and viney was one on two or three cow players and he had the ball/lost the ball got the ball back and cleared it out. 

His determination, strength and will to win the ball and contest was magnificent. 

Couldnt fault him he is an awesome player and thanks Todd for producing such a specimen.

I had no idea that Tim Smith was capable of playing this sort of football.  Having seen very little of him in the past, what I had seen was, what I believed to be, one dimensional.  Good VFL key position player, but non-impactful at senior level.

He has been outstanding and his versatility and aggression is a real weapon.

Hasn't had the chance to prove himself at senior level after getting a punctured lung in his debut last year. Thought this was his best. He rarely gets beaten in the air bringing the ball to ground and loves the contested ball.

Apparently been doing it for quite a while down at Casey so forced Dees to pick him up. Nice stuff. Our tall forward depth is pretty great at the moment.

    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
