Just checked back on the replay: according to McDonald it was Petracca. Makes sense really as Salem is a wee bit more reserved while Petracca has a reputation for being a bit of a card!

Salem reserved, definitely not, he is just not a bloody nuisance to all the other players like Trac is, ANB is the other pest

    I reckon our 22 is almost a lock (in red above), with only 2 of the 21 listed above "debatable in Spargo and OMac, both of which would suit us well out West. So the competition is really for 1-3 spots in our Round 1 22.

    Good spot to be in. 

    Spargo had a really good game,

    Agree. And I reckon ANB is also a lock for 22. Forward defensive pressure will feature large in 2020 I believe.

    And all the more impressive for having missed most of the pre-season, at least the match play part of it.

    Thanks DD. I am getting old but thought he mentioned Trac. In any case it does not matter who he refered to it was just good listening to Tom in commentary and I stand by that all the players seem to be really in a good space.

    Just watched the fourth quarter.

    TMac is so articulate.

    It was sad watching Daw. He was so bad.

    Pittard has one of the worst haircuts I've ever seen.

    Found it interesting that T Mac said they most wanted the ball in the hands of Fritta or Spargo when going inside 50.

    Spargo could be a dark horse to recement his spot in the 22 this year.

    His comments bout his brother were also interesting i thought, which in summary were:

    • Has bulked up, putting on 4-5 kgs of muscle
    • Much stronger through the hips and core
    • Has had a great preseason
    • His (important) role is playing the deep last line
    • If you are watching on TV or if live not watching him closely, easy to miss his positioning not grasp his role
    • Would like to see him be more offensively minded

    Mate, if Oscar ever becomes an elite defender, your bragging rights will be off the charts. Feels like you’ve been his sole defender on here at times.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
