That is a huge benefit for us as it enables us to rotate our mids and 'sore' players more often.  Ops don't have that luxury.

Tomlinson hasn't had enough credit on here for that effort mainly because none of us have noticed.

Yep. Like Alex Neal-Bullen, his being an exceptional endurance athlete goes under the radar. Has its advantages.

Just listening to the Yze podcast and he talks about mids/rucks going forward.  It was once a 'resting' role but we expect those players to contribute when forward which means do all the defensive work, GA and if poss kick goals themselves.

Its another way to make max use of our rotations.

Ed Langdon was such a good acquisition for the club. I was stoked when we got him and immediately called top 5 BnF. I’m so glad the coaches have been able to utilize his skill set and get the most out of him. For years we lacked a good wing options, trying heaps of inside mid types there with little success. Ed has added to much to the team, both offensively and defensively. His transition running is brilliant. The fact he’s not left the ground yet this season is staggering with the amount of running he does.

Outside injury Tommo has been serviceable down back last year and this year. Struggled on the wing I thought, but playing his role down back and hopefully he gets to taste premiership success later this year.

I can't stress enough how big an advantage these guys are. Alex Neal-Bullen and Tom McDonald are also high minutes players. and it allows you to really focus your rotation on players who benefit from playing in burts. 

Having these guys would seriously help guys like Petracca who don't quite have the same tank

During his five years at Fremantle, Lingers only clocked more than 89% game time on three occasions - two of those being 91% in his last four games at the club. Debut for Melbourne: 100% ToG - and last season he only dipped below 89% once while averaging around 94%. Worth also noting that he's only missed two games since early in 2018, and I think one of those was to concussion. 

So is it maturity, Burgess, or role?

He struggled a bit after his concussion which often happens but hes back to his sublime best.

Fast becoming one of my faves. Love his speed and skill to get way from his opponent. A joy to watch.

Not to forget that Langdon's kicking has improved out of sight from his Freo days.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
