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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
