Neal-Bullen - played his role

May - was rarely bothered

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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
