Haven’t heard much lately about what the leftover players are doing while the team’s playing. Is it all too hard with the compacted fixture?

    Egan’s standouts from Round 11 practice match

    So 12 Demons plus a Kangaroo joined forces to take on St Kilda plus 2 Kangaroos in a 12 v 12 match.

    Highlights -

    • Braydon Preuss in his first game back (explains why he wasn't really an option for Saturday's game) dominated around the hit-outs.

    • Mitch Brown scored five of his side’s nine goals.

    • The delivery inside 50 allowed Brown to do his best work.

    • Jayden Hunt was excellent – presented at the ball really well.

    • Joel Smith was probably the other standout down back in the wet conditions.

    • There's also an update on some of Melbourne’s other young prospects in 2020.

    No mention of Baker or Dunkley. Are they in the hub?

    Good question!

    I was happy to hear that Hunt was delivering the ball well into the F50 (to Brown), as I've always imagined his spot to be high Forward Flank or wing if he can learn to use his pace an deliver to lead up forwards on the burst.

    Sounds like they are developing him to play that role, and he's coming along.

    Bedford has had quite the fall from grace after an excellent pre-season, round 1 start and a decent game. To my knowledge, he's not been named Emergency and hasn't genuinely come into the selection discussion despite some forward line injuries.

    Egan is pretty glowing on the depth on our list. Hopefully he is right and it is not all propaganda.

    Agreed. Think Hunt should be retained due to versatility and that he can offer something going forward.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
