44 can play, whoever he is. 

I believe 44 is Luca Goonan - ex Mt Eliza player.  Was on Casey's list for last year but obviously didn't play.  

Nephew of a family friend.

    Haha I am not bald and there was no ill-intent in my comments, intended in affection only. Apologies if taken that way.

    Jake Bowey can play footy - has very good balance, good side step and dare I say it you could argue is already the best kick on the list 

    Bailey Laurie seems a natural footballer - he has very good hands and awareness in traffic - I still have a slight question mark on speed but overall quite promising

    Fraser Rosman I think has potential but may take a bit more time than others hoped

    Not much depth.

    Bowey impressive the rest just went. Brown terrible.

    Confirmed that physios were looking at Nietschke's knee. 

    I hope that isn't serious - he has had such a terrible run and deserves to have some luck

    This thread may be running hot like the Tigs B team, but the the Dees Z team performance is as about as cold as Ice Station Zebra.

    Warming up ever so slightly. Nice pair Toby Bedford!

    Bowey, Laurie and Petty were clearly the 3 best for me out everyone.

    Harrison Petty has a strong case next week against the doggies as Tomlinson was poor today. On today's effort I'd have him round 1 against freo over Tomlinson 

    Would not hurt giving Bowey a run next week against the doggies. He seriously looked a class above everyone who just butchered the [censored] out of it.

    I think Bowie has gone ahead of Lockhart for a spot as a small defender 

    Agreed on that performance can now see why Lockart was dropped last season way too many turnover balls or 50/50s at best.

    The team looked poor, hopefully there are some VFL reinforcements coming in to top that side up, otherwise it could be a long year.

    On a positive note, the young draftees looked good, Bowey and Laurie more than Rosman. And Petty played well, and will be required in the seniors sooner rather than later imo.

    Very dysfunctional forward set up which is due to the fact that 4 of our first choice forwards are all out injured/on leave.

    Richmond are a well drilled club/team.

    Hope that Nieta is ok

    Bowey, Petty, and Laurie all looked like AFL level to me. Bedford looked good in a couple of brief cameos when he turned the speed on, but like the rest of them, he didn't look at the level required for a promotion yet. hope Neitschke is ok, fingers crossed.

    Early days, and the opposition was VFL level, but it's easy to see why we took Bowey and Laurie in the first round.  Both are 'natural' footballers and have the class we are crying out for.

    Petty should be a 'lock' against the Dogs next weekend.

    Beyond these three, not too much to get excited about from the B game.

    Rosman showed glimpses of potential, but is not a 'natural', and will take time.

    That's a shame. Sounds like he isn't the answer to fill in for BBB/Weid.

    Brayshaw, Viney, B Brown, Weid, Melksham, Kossie, Hibberd, Lockhart, Hore and Joel Smith if he was not playing, add a bit of depth.

    I think McDonald and Jackson will account for themselves quite well. It will be exciting to see Pickett, Chandler and Spargo in the 1 team.

    The rest are injured or in Kossie's case unavailable.

    AVB not out there also.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
