Joeboy your assessment of Melksham, Fritsch and Garlett makes me wonder if I saw the same game at all.

Melksham and Garlett were amazing at times while Fritta was ordinary for the second week in a row. Maybe carrying an injury.

Frost: very costly throw

Crows were throwing it quite a bit in Q4 (all I have seen so far) but only two were paid, against Jones who failed to control a slippery bar of soap, andFrost who I must say I thought handballed it.

I think this is pretty spot on. Melksham stiff though.

i'm not even gonna bite on the hogan thing. i hate his work ethic and he backed out of a lot of physical contests tonight when he needed to go hard.

Jones - missed captains goal

T.McDonald - accurate goal kicking

Melksham - costly banana miss 

Fritsch - love his versatility 

Lewis - handy early goals

Garlett - stop bloody fumbling

Kennedy-Harris - liked him back

Neal-Bullen - orgasm after goal

Hogan - almost embarassing presence 

Harmes - effort effort effort

Petracca - gradually getting better  

Tyson - didn't get pinged

Brayshaw - australia's fav dreamteamer

Frost - costly threw footy

Gawn - basically just hitouts

Jetta - smartly rushed behind

O.McDonald - anti-clutch set shot

Oliver - some crafty gathers

Salem - costly kicking decisions

Smith - just a game

Spargo - several missed tackles

Vince - smart sideways kick

Frost- deserves more love

Come on guys. Frosty isn't in many best 22 conversations, yet here he is getting the job done for us in our 22. Makes some mistakes, but overall has been a huge positive down back. His run and carry is a bonus given none of his direct opponents will ever catch him.

He is actually pretty exciting to watch when he is up.

All players make mistakes, earning his spot imo.

Jesse, was ill during the week, plus he copped a knee in the back last week.

no excuse. he was good enough to play and he was shocking before any knocks. a very polarising player, some love him but his work ethic is poor and he is soft for a big guy. needs to lift

Fritsch only had 8 disposals, which surprised me. I’d say every one of them was important, because I thought he was pretty good on the night.

Melksham was much better than joyboy gives credit for this week.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    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
