Viney - wonderful second half

Grundy - dominated when required 

May - steady and safe

Langdon - surprisingly wasteful early

Fritsch - classy when involved

Brayshaw - struggled getting involved 

Lever - lacked spatial awareness 

Rivers - continued impressive season 

Chandler - an important contributor 

Spargo - disposal elite again

Neal-Bullen - was rarely sighted

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
