Judd McVee has been the stand out for me. 

Just as you posted that the commentators where also talking up his involvements and he had 3 touches in a minute.  Shown a lot.

Still seeing far too many bad traits in our game plan that still Lingers from last year.

JVR is 0-5 on winning contests but every single one of them has been a soft drop forward and a really hard chance to mark.

Phillipou is showing why I heard we offered the farm to get him. Dees recruiters not showing much emotion

It feels like went hard early and then just dropped off. 
You have to take the weather into consideration and also I don’t think we need to give away all our plans this early in the season.

Didn't cal twomey all but confirm it was Humphrey we were having a crack at?

Regardless he looks a serious talent.

Edit: just took another mark inside 50, protected the drop zone well and kept Petty out of it.

I don’t think Cal was right, was working on the theory Humphrey is a very Melbourne player (and he is)

Bowey big tick. His kicking was a bit off early but he's worked his way into he game beautifully.

His body work in contests has been a huge standout.

Hopefully a sign of things to come as Gawn and Grundy kick back to back goals. Grundy gets a lucky bounce and kicks his first in the Demon colours.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
