    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
