I couldn’t help myself but ended up repeatedly calling BG6 “Brundy” 🙄

6 years! Can't believe I haven't noticed until now. Demonland was a darker place back then :laugh:

Knoth, never thought I'd see the day that we were all talking up our chances for another premiership more that what pick we were going to take at the end of the year.

MMM 'call' (I use the word very advisedly) seemed to say it was a downfield free for a push on Spargo after his kick. So not an issue what happened to the ball after?

Now that we have 'All Of The Goals' (crikey, it's like we're in the season proper (he says, on Page 12 of the Post Game thread!) - never have we seen so much interest in practice matches!) I can see MMM let me down (surprise, surprise...) However, I think it's possible the ball bounced vertically just before the post then veered through - or at least that's what the goal umpire determined? It certainly then crossed the line, and the goal umpire gives the 3 chest taps, signalling 'Mine', which would seem to confirm that?

He was off target today for sure, but his kicking action looks pretty good.  The one thing he can do that Kozzie, Spargo, ANB (and if he was still at the club Toby Bedford) can't do is cover the distance from +45 metres out quite easily.  

That’s all well and good, but when you are dragging them right across the face of goal, there isn’t much value in big bombs. I want him to make it! I like Chin. I just thought he had several easy shots today which he missed, which may cost him a spot as the small forward in Rd 1, which is a shame. However, with mystery surrounding Fritta, maybe he gets a go. If he does, he has to take his chances to forge a spot in the side

Poor Viney not considered one of our best players? I reckon he’s ahead of Salem

Both underestimated perennially

Salo was injured last year and returned too early to the AFL team.and never got a full go at fitness.

Commentators didn't even pick it up. Apparently was "fantastic use of the body" by Martin. Well, I guess the hands are part of the body 🤷🏽

Well from someone who does listen to him; he backed us to win all the way through 2021 when other were waiting for us to ‘Melbourne’ or completely ‘Melbourne up the place’ or simply just ‘Melbourne at the wrong time.’

He’s fine.

He may have once had an anti-Melbourne vibe but was very respectful of his old club when we brought home the vegan bacon in 2021.

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 The premiership defender had a below par season after looking the goods as a key forward before injury ended his 2023 season. It’s unclear as to where he will be playing in the coming season as some of the club’s established defensive talls near the end of their careers.

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
