Not with you on this call at all. Been up and down this year and thought today was one of his worst.

Totally disagree. It was hard to fault our backline as a unit. I think he was on Ryan a lot of the time and beat him comfortably. I just wish he wouldn’t do those dump kicks into dangerous spots.

Hunt’s had far more ups and downs IMO.

Played 2 down games to open the season, but has been excellent in every other game including shutting down Bolton and Higgins.

However I agree he was ordinary today.

1 tackle. 12 disposals - 3 clangers, 5 turnovers.

Thought he was poor today.

Yeah probably fair to say more good than bad, his defending has improved a lot this year for sure. His disposal has just stood out a lot more without Salem around maybe.

Chandler - unduly rough play. 
 

Probably gets a fine but depends on Foley.  Assume he’ll miss with concussion next week.  Chandler was unlucky but had to try to turn Foley not jump and ride him into the ground with both arms pinned

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. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

    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
