Generous on Tomlinson who I thought was beaten numerous times tonight.

Jordon may be rarely sighted but had 22 touches and provides an important link in the chain.

Tough on Brayshaw again. He doesn't need 30 disposals to play his role for the team.

He also got absolutely smashed in a contest and has been playing in defense. He just does the team role every single week. 
When he ran on without a helmet I was just thinking his poor mum must be beside herself.

Angus Brayshaw committed and courageous

Alex Neal-Bullen career best form

Jayden Hunt hiding to nothing

I normally don’t try to justify myself but in the case of Brayshaw’s analysis I will explain .

I’ve marked him hard because his disposal by foot is regularly problematic, nothing more nothing less.

And for those who think I have an agenda , he’s in my top 4 favourite players

Hunt won’t play seniors when Salem/hibbo are fit.

Thommo looked like he was 5 weeks off the pace early, got better but tbh if Petty wasn’t injured he would be at Casey building form. 
 

Kozzie needs to start around packs further out and just fly past, they grabbed him slightly a couple of times last night, be out a bit further and the umps will see it. And he would move opponents all over the place.

Who did he tag?

Agree JB he can spray a few but some of his foot passes last night were terrific. Hit his intended target laser like  lace out. Massively impressed by his courageous return to the field and performance after being seriously ‘collected’. Given his history of concussion. It was a big hit.

So Neal Bullen has played a lot more midfield minutes so far this season and he’s been really really good. But I can’t help thinking that we miss his forward pressure and the downside of him playing midfield is that the ball is leaving our forward 50 with much greater ease now.

I just can’t believe how this guy has turned his game around. A couple of years ago he was my number 1 delist and now he is a fixture in our team and deservedly so. Well done ANB.

Agree TC zi thought Angus kicking and disposal was excellent last night both in style of passes and consistency on very good delivery.

Jordon was good and I thought Tommo saved us plenty of homes in defence.

Kudos to all in defence msybe Hunty was off but all the others stood up well and teamed together and agsin put pressure in the Suns in attack as did the mids.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
