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. 

    No reasonable thinking person would have taken offence TJ6

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
