Oskar Baker exists !!!

Young backman Trent Rivers enjoyed some time up the ground, impressing with his run around the ball, as did Oskar Baker whose pace shone through on the wing.

Rivers is a gun Harmes better find form soon or he will take his place.

So this time it wasn’t necessary to conscript players from other clubs than the Demons and Magpies at their hub at Maroochydore Sports Complex.

Highlights -

• You can’t keep a good big man down. Max Gawn might have been nursing that injured PCL but it didn’t stop him from being one of the goal umpires.

• Melbourne ran away with a convincing 39-point win scoring 12.8.80 to 6.5.41.

• Suspended Alex Neal-Bullen was considered best afield playing up forward (he still has two matches to serve);

• Toby Bedford was lively and did the damage on the scoreboard booting four goals;

• The defence stood strong throughout the game;

• Trent Rivers enjoyed some time up the ground, impressing with his run around the ball;

• Oskar Baker’s pace shone through on the wing;

• Recovering from a broken wrist Corey Wagner played well in the middle unhindered by the protective glove he wore;

• Josh Wagner pushed off half-back to help around the contest;

• Jayden Hunt was the carry over emergency for Melbourne in Round 12.

As mentioned above, no mention made of Brown, Bennell or Hannan or any news on the four injured horsemen - Hore, Petty, Kolo and Nietzchke.

You would hope Baker starts doing something as he’s running out of time for an AFL career. 

He's got time he still has another year on his contract.

Yes Baker has 2021 under contract but it’s no guarantee.  I’d like to see get a run and I’d take him to FNQ to play either Freo or Swans.  His pace will be handy.

Watching the doggies on the weekend and an undersized Dunkley spending some significant time in the ruck, I wondered what has happened to Kyle. Don’t believe he’s injured - does anyone have an insight on how he’s going. Thought he showed a little bit despite fitness being well underdone last year in his 5 games and playing largely in the graveyard at HFF in a poor side?

Thanks for the summary.

Nice of Max to show support for team mates.

Anyone know what has become of Nev?

How come Melbourne doesn't provide a write-up about each player? I know they're only scratch matches but still...

The we don’t have as big a budget as the Pies effect?

It’s my understanding that Kyle had a planter fascia injury over Xmas which set him back after working especially hard overseas after the end of last season. 

Would certainly be nervous heading into the end of the year.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
