    Anyone keen to watch some VAFA footy and report back on Kye? Bonus points for any Austin Bradtke progress reports:

    https://www.vafa.com.au/vafa-tv/prem-b-gf-uni-blacks-v-old-haileybury/

    Early report is I can't believe they played the B grade granny on that swamp of a ground. That's disgraceful.

    With may and Tomlinson being 30 and 29 respectively, happy the club has added to its depth with Jed and is looking at another. If young keys are decent but end up surplus to needs they’re at least a very tradable commodity

    It's called development.

    Looking forward to him playing 8th string backup to Kye Declase

    I skimmed through his VFL debut v Port.

    He played back pocket, took his share of rotations off and at this stage I’d say he’s a tall flanker more than a key position player. Lean and long arms and looks an easy mover who wasn’t troubled for leg speed at VFL level. 

    Some observations:

    Q1: 12:10 1st, lovely easy run from deep back pocket to link up and nail an inside 50 kick

    Q2: 5:12 easy elevation for intercept mark and hits his target with a quick short kick

    27:56 kickout to 65

    28:40 drops a kickout to a lead at 50

    Q3: 1:10 weights a kick to the corridor 

    3:50 reads it nicely for easy intercept 

    16:01 nice strong spoil deep down back

    23:01 long kickout!

    Q4 30:26 nice spoil with the game 22 points the difference, follows up to receive a handball and kicks long and wide  with a safe clearing kick 

    31:30 not as great some of his efforts to secure a loose ball

    Then the game ends on a shoddy too high free kick, with Frankston giving up a 61-16 lead 

    Not a perfectly fluent kicking action but not terrible. Kicks around it like a soccer player and certainly has distance. Interesting they trusted him on debut with kick outs 

    Looks a very natural runner. Solid overhead with a leap so there’s more to work with there. Seems to track an opponent and the ball fairly well. Probably found the pace of the game quick with the ball bouncing around the deck, but on debut that’s not a surprise.

    We all know that not all “he will be a gun” players succeed - Kye may offer yet another option, or as mentioned above, a surplus who we may offer for  trade. 
    Just wondering though, just because he is training with us at this stage, does it in any way tie him to us or us to him?

    No I don't believe so.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
