If we get AvB playing in 202 that is like having a new recruit, I remember when we got Brayshaw back in 2018 it was much the same way, he'd almost become a forgotten figure and when he was actually given a chance to play he really shon through.

I feel like he'll be a challenge for our new fitness staff to handle but boy if we get him right, could make a massive difference!

    I think he might have just cleaned the lens.

    Definitely... he already showed us glimpses of what a fit AVB will be like, in the run up to the finals last year.

    The Mo in action again   encouraging him to keep it ???

    He should definitely keep it if “British Infantry-circa-Boer War” is the look he’s aiming for.

    To be honest i was expecting a better mark than a two grabber where he didn't get far off the ground.

    Soaring across the pack is a bit of a stretch!

    It was the reading of the ball in flight and quick step that took him from being behind Lever? to i front of the pack and in  a position to be able to take the mark that I was impressed with.

    Cannot get that out of my memory. What he offers is remarkably good, so let's all light a candle to his immediate recovery. How frustrated must he feel? In a crowd striding independently around the Northern Stand last season, he looked as impressive as a young Ditterich caught in a world of midgets and I was glad that I did not have to play on him - or his ilk - in my day. AVB, May, Petracca, tough nuts and hungry ... can't wait. I get these chills about having another Rod Grinter (or three) back into the MFC team - ready to wreak carnage with grace, poise, footballing nouse and intent.

    He looks natural footballer doesn't he.

    Exciting talent and the vibe seems to be he has huge upside.

    I love also that the consensus seems to be that he is super competitive. He also seems to be a pretty laid back kid, which i think is nice balance and is helpful for some elite sportsmen.

    I hate to [censored] on the party

    But this drill went for about 10 minutes, prior to the one mark recorded Jackson wasn't getting near it because of the bigger and more experienced bodies

    A good learning experience

    Who are you and what have you done with the real Saty?

    Actually appreciate that bit of balanced reporting.

    Perhaps puts the "THAT'S what we [censored] got you here for" comment into context.

    Vanders went with the forwards when they broke into 'recognisable' groups

    and so I think,  he should, his big body running around our forward line gives opposition defenders very serious doubts as to whether or not they are about to be crunched by a B double truck   or not.  It causes indecision which in turn creates opportunity for our guys !!

    Just not a fan of hyperbole 

    From what I have seen at training, can see why we went with pick 3

    But let's wait and see

    Sick of this site building up players only to knock them down again

    Same with Pickett, Bedford has been developing nicely but without the fanfare

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
