is that petty playing? that hair cut is a shocker

brown is a lovely mark (and gets away with push in the back) but can't kick a set shot to save himself - 0 goals 4 from set shots today?

It's a Casey fill in wearing the #30 guernsey.

Lockhart and Melksham playing very well. Brayshaw is rusty.

I think Gus expected Spargo to be close enough to handball to. Spargo was ball watching and Gus has a bad elbow.

my god brayshaw is slow

he's no different to tyson - slow to use it, poor kick, okay tackle

He gone done holding the ball, playing like he would in an AFL game. He got it wrong footed then turned to give the handball back to the guy who should have been running past, but there was no one there. Being fairly harsh with the comparison to Tyson there wwsw

Spargo is looking better than last week.I havent seen much of Jordan yet, hope to see him get involved.

I've been impressed (in little bits I've been able to watch) in general with the overlap play, guys kicking/handballing then following up the immediate play. It hasn't always worked and some of the skills aren't great, but that shows better intent of ball movement even without our best players.

Gus had been quiet. And rusty.

Baker has been good with some run and dash on the wing. More game time and i can see him playing senior footy soon.

Spargo has been good.

Pickett has had around 7 touches of the ball and already kick 0.2, he'll play round 1.

Melksham has been BOG

Geez we are bloody spoiled these days. Only a couple of years back we would have been relying on a "Lander at the game relaying updates via phone for a mate to post.

Great that we can see our kids in action live and free.

Thought Spargo looked ok last week, just didn't finish that well - is his finishing better today?

I thought he wasnt good last week. This week he is running to the right spots - mainly. Holding marks and kicking accurately. generally being quite good. he couldve been there for Gus when Gus was looking for a HB target, though.

11 scoring shots to 5. That's 6 more, with 5 of them being quite simple set shots. I know it's only a practice match, bit I'm quite disapointed with that. We need to improve our accuracy for the season proper or we'll lose a few games off our own boot.

Poor kicking skills is our biggest issue IMO.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
