    What sort of role is McVee playing down back? Can he be a small lockdown type to quell the Charlie Cameron, Stengle, Papley types? Could he replace Hibberd long term?  Hoping he’s not just another rebounder as we’re well stocked for hbfs, but have a clear list gap for small lockdown defenders since Jetta retired and Hibberd is on his last legs.

    McVee is the interesting one. Come from the clouds. Hibbo playing twos...

    that's the one that surprised me too. Hibbo has the harder body and probably should be playing round one, but youthful exuberance is a beautiful thing, and he kind of looked like what I hoped Joel Smith would be out there. definitely one to watch.

    i missed most of q2 cos of meetings, but based on what i did see of those four quarters:

    - lever won't play round 1; plugger back, Fritsch comes 

    Unless he’s badly injured Lever is best 22 and will continue to be so

    McVee was very good, as were Bowey, Rivers and Hibberd .

    Someones gonna miss out.

    Rapt with Kozzie in the midfield and Hunter really adds something.

    I'll be honest, I thought that McVee would be the least likely of the 2nd year players to debut this year. But based on that game, he'll be pushing for round 1. He was excellent 1 on 1, read the play well, and his disposal was neat and effective.

    Others to impress were Hunter, Rivers, Bowey and Chandler. If Kozzie is playing further up field, then Chandler should be a lock for round 1. Rivers should be challenging Harmes for a spot in the side. 

    The Grundy/Gawn combo went as how I thought it would. Gawn is vastly superior around the ground, and despite kicking 3 between them, neither were effective as marking forwards. Grundy's ruckwork was largely ineffectual, and was cumbersome at ground level.

    Lever loves a rolled ankle, srsly. 

    I swear he stuffs up his ankle every week and someone hobbles on…

    If it’s just a rolled ankle he’ll be fine, depends on if any ligament damage.

    He was doing run throughs on the boundary just after he did it so doubt it's really serious. The worry is not will he play round 1 but home times will he hurt it during the year. it's like his ankles are made of glass.

    I watched most of the second half, without commentary of course, which number was McVee? I think he was a the skinny kid with a shaved head.

    Any observations on JVR and Shasche.

    Watching McVee reminded me of Ricky Petterd, his movement was similar.

    Hope it’s not the dreaded syndesmosis. Lever was very good before he went off

    People splaying Lever won’t play rd1, due to a rolled ankle. Is that hyperbole and MFCSS?? 

    Nope. Club said he’s a chance to play against Richmond in the practice match next week.

    It was just a practice game so won't read to much into it but there was a problem with delivery inside the forward 50. Too many times it went to a saints player. Is there something familiar in  what I am saying.

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
