Incredible effort for Tyson to get up from a fracture arm sustained less than 2 weeks ago, and he coexisted with Viney and the other inside mids.

Yes

T.McDonald - great first half

Yep ... and the same degree of effort was there in the 2nd half

Harmes - loved his application 

Here we go

Salem - was all class

Yep

Petracca - had limited involvement 

Really classy but can do more ... the last quarter handpass to Jones was the game-ender though - Kudos.

Tyson - tried and failed

Played well and played his part.

Fritsch - was rarely sighted

Standout moments as usual - vital player

Hibberd - dynamic when needed

Yep

Spargo - tired and overawed

The 22nd player picked was not disgraced

Manzel had like 1 touch and then he smashed Ablett. Jetta is so underrated it’s a joke. Best small defender in the competition by a mile.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
