Same as last year really, where we went in with Hunter and first gamers McVee & Laurie

Very similar but both McVee and Laurie had  been in our system for a year at least like Howes.  But Caleb straight from the draft to be selected first game,  that’s as good as any number one pick in the last few years.  Except I don’t think we are a struggling club.  So that’s even more impressive.   I hope he lives up to it.  
someone on here likened him to Tulip,

that’s hard to believe.

    I likened him to Robbie and Ive seen nothing so far to change my mind - will he ever be as good - we can only hope because Robbie was possibly the best footballer I’ve ever seen in red and blue. He does move like the great man but I agree they are massive boots to fill 

    He deserves his spot given his training form and pre season form and add the fact that Hunter is unavailable 

    We have lacked pace imo - he has it 

    Good luck to him let’s all hope he plays a good game and helps us to a great first up victory

    On visiting a young fan in hospital:

    'This is the side of Oliver we don’t see, but Oliver never turns down the chance to give back outside club hours. Like most AFL players, Oliver doesn’t feel the need to publicise these moments.'

    I reckon certain Collingwood player might learn something from Clarry. 

    Dont even bring this collimgwood Sub Human up on this site🤮

    I didn’t expect Fox’s promotion to get me pumped for this game but here we are.

    I also quietly love that they’ve got Billings in there. Back him in and let’s go.

    I was at training at Gosches when Clarry returned to team training.He was signing autographs for kids and posing for photos.He is a people person. He loves the fans.

    Interesting that a suspended Kozzy is in the pic. Maybe they plan to play him under a pseudonym?

    2 Ex-Demons to debut

     

    Nice that Longmire announced their debut in front of a huge Melbourne emblem. So that's where the MFC media people have been. 😉

    AFL.com.au’s predicted Sydney backline;

    Lloyd.    McCartin.    Rampe

    Florent.  Blakey.   Jordon

    They are tiny. And that is weird.

    Never been a fan of using a tall as a sub but on a small ground I’d be throwing everything in the height bucket against these smurfs.

     

    edit. Looking a bit more closely at their predicted side, it appears the work experience kid might’ve been thrown this one.

    Got the same syndrome ... new Sony TV, new Flip6 speakers that just might be able to achieve a Ch7 commentary upgrade, hot dogs, rolls, Dijon mustard and Rosella dead horse, black pepper. Raring to go!

    Do you mean they can convert Brian Taylor into Anthony Hudson?  That's impressive.

    I wonder how the Grundy v Max will go.

    Interesting to see if there's any bad blood.

    I wish James Jordan all the best but of course hope he has a quiet night.

    As a sub maybe. If one of the talls goes down we'd be pretty small in the forward half/ruck.

    I still prefer a more versatile sub but in a tight game on a small ground someone that can mark or at least provide strong marking contests late in a game could be useful.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
