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.

Particularly if a list spot opens up at some stage during the season Dazz!

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
