    Hibberd looks like he'll play a role for us yet again this year. 

    Always reliable.

    He’s a certainty, if fit.Him and Rivers will play Bank flank with Bowey warming the seat for Salem in back pocket.McVee May get a look in sometime later in year. Was quite surprised however in the growth of McVee.

    Woey - played on ball, bursts forward whenever he gets it and used it safely. Tough++

    Hibbo - too strong and smart for this level, but the legs don’t drive on rebound like they used to

    JVR - kicked a couple, didn’t dominate but solid after playing a half for the senior side

    AMW - looks fitter, stronger and really dangerous in traffic. If he’s even remotely fit enough for afl he’s good enough

    JJ - prolific on ball but not overly dangerous

    Disco - took some good marks, but didn’t use it as well as he can. Had an ankle checked at one stage, not sure he’s playing entirely to his best 

    Verrell and KFW - both very promising, Verrell more ready as he times his leaps and has more ground ball skill. But KFW follows up and isn’t afraid of getting involved.

    Schache - moments of class but outbodied too often by Highmore and others 

    Jeffo - just getting started but be clunked a couple and had a couple of nearly moments, didn’t find any easy kicks

    Laurie and Howes - both good and bad. Nice to see Laurie on ball. A lot of almost moments from Howes

    D Smith - didn’t see him much and didn’t think he did much with it either 

    Sestan and K Turner - just getting stated 

    Agree with pretty much all you say here, will add a little bit from my viewing.

    Verrell in particular for me today...looks really promising.

    Hibbo as you say too good for the level, will be great depth this year.

    I think AMW will be a step up from Bedford...just a better ball handler and very clean and clever with his ball use. From the track watchers of which you are one I think he has been in rehab for a lot of the preseason so a good performance coming in underdone.

    Howes needs to get involved, just goes along for the ride. On his output to date very overrated.

    Thought Burgoyne showed some real pose and class on the outside. Rarely wastes it.

    Andy Moniz-Wakefield and Will Verrell adding those young fellas to my book of potential debutants for the season. Has Choco repeated his ‘21 pre-season ritual of burning their birth certificates? That was some voodoo worthy of Papa Doc!

    Snache looks spudie to me.

    Can't believe I sponsored Tomo.

    How many year more do we have him?

    What a nasty thing to say. Don’t sponsor a player if this is your attitude.

    Also, who is ‘Snache’? And what does ‘spudie’ mean?

    Which number was he 'dazz'?

    I didn't hear him called & don't know him by sight but thought he would have been out there.

    I think Burgoyne was number 44.

    Found separation, playing half forward flank, when gjven space he moves well and hits targets. Thought the connection with other players was lacking a few times, as he was by himself or doing run ons, but was not given the ball.

    You can blame thr commentators for that.

    At one stage they had said Luca Goonan had just kicked a goal when in fact it was Andy Moniz Wakefield.

    At least they got the right team. Earlier she called a Dees goal that was actually a Saints goal.

    It’s not easy to tell the difference between a bright, light blue and red guernsey and a black one.

    Jesus poor Tomlinson is getting taught a lesson by the Saints new PPS kid...

    Might be an excuse, but playing in a scratch match, as people leave the ground after the main game, in 33 degrees, might not have been a big motivator for Tommo to play at his best.

    Then again………..

    The beauty is we are certainly adding depth to our back stocks with Turner x 2, Adams and McVee ( a real surprise ) and maybe Smith D as another possible.

    Depends on if he wants to play senior footy l suppose

    There will have to be a lot of injured players in the back six on that performance

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
