Absolute crap, how he’s not in the starting 18 is an absolute joke

Has had a better year than Martin, Dangerfield & Gray!!!!

Gray shouldn't even be in the team, let alone starting on a HFF.

Agree Jacko, both girls are lucky to have Gawn and Clarry as their partners!

Clarrie has played in the middle more than Martin should be a starting mid.

you take your pick of 2 HFF from Danger Higgins Gray and Martin you don't just accomodate the big names in the starting 18.

Devon Smith missing out is a joke, Jackson Mcrae and Yeo are also stiff but you're always going to have some tough stories

Could have sworn Yeo would be in here.

According to one biased MFC supporter.

The experts thought otherwise.

Shaun Higgins? Really?

 

Higgins had a brilliant year, he deserved to be rewarded. 

Great to see Clarry in, 1 of very many I’d say.

I'm happy with Clarrie on the bench.

Just as happy that media darlings Crotchin, and De Goey aren't in the team. 

Yeo and Macrae unlucky to miss.

Really putting it on the line picket... haha :)

Buddy as captain is bizarre. On what basis did they arrive at that decision?

Elliot Yeo was the BIG ONE too miss out for me along with Jack McRae! ?

Yeo missing out was like Jeremy Howe missing out on Mark of the Year last season... That’s exactly what it was! ??‍♂️

Yeo before Whitfield

McRae before Sidebottom

Gunston and Edwards were the two surprises for me... I haven’t seen a lot of them play this season though.

Stewart was a toss up with Stratton and Grimes and I’ll add Jetta (even though he wasn’t named in the squad I thought he should have been). I have seen Stewart play this season and is a beast of a player. Deserved his spot!

Clarry could of easily been swapped with Martin.

Clarry in the centre and Martin on the bench! 

I feel because Martin has won a Brownlow he seems to be an automatic selection! I don’t like this... I think he was lucky to be AA this year!

Not quite sure what your beef is in this thread. I saw around 10 predicted media sides in the last week or so, and all had him in the side (all bar one starting). So to continually try and call out posters for bias seems a little odd.

Most supporters wanted to see him get his just reward, and as far as I'm concerned, he did, as I couldn't care less about starting vs bench.

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    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
