Chandler - an important contributor 

Spargo - disposal elite again

Thought Sparrow was 'above standard' today.

Starting to his use strength to break away from tackles.

Thought Nibbler was excellent. In a game where we weren't clean it was the tackles and pressure that counted and he smashed it in both categories.

joeboy, back to your ‘slightly’ controversial best. Did you mistakenly wear your bottom of the coke bottle specs? With prescription standard  correction you’d get clearer 60 60 vision. Respectfully suggest:

Angus Brayshaw;  battled man fully 

Alex Neal-Bullen; nibbled not nobbled

Auto-correct can be bloody annoying!

I think Angus would need to have 100 possessions @ 100% and your comment would :  Doesn't share !!

ANB worked his ring off!!!

Hardly sighted…Please

It is good to see ANB working so hard and his ground coverage is tremendous (most opposition sides tend to divert around him, now. as a consequence). His defensive game is really improving; and, it is just great when he is nearing the goals - he has improved his accuracy and kit-bag of kicking skills to score rather frequently and often, has found space in which to deploy.

Funny how people have such different perspectives. 

I sighted Anb numerous times. I saw about 7 hard tackles from him.

Played well.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.
