C'mon man, he was kicking at 72% accuracy at goal last season... Give the kid a break. He is working harder now being the 2nd ruck.

Van Rooyen, not a ruckman, poor hands, Billings, not his type of game.

joeboy - tripping night fantastic some inspired triplets tonight. Some Milton would be proud of or are sword and sandal movies being revived in Rundleland?

eg. 
Gawn - an Herculean performance  so apt 
Chandler - courageous and clever  bandages flapping in the breeze gives that ambulant epic look.

Viney- blood and guts now that was an Epic! 

El Langdon watch; yes young Ed is very much on track covering post to post.

Just slightly perplexed by;

Hore - limited but impressive  skills wise or ToG%? Definitely not lacking ticker.

Told ya about Jeffo. Had a rare off day with his accuracy but marked at will.

With JVR he is being made to ruck at 193 cms which is pretty hard for starters and then when he is forward, the ball is again being kicked high to a pack, hence his high flying miracle attempts.

When he is given some decent passes, combined with his accuracy at goal kicking, he will produce some very good performances.

You have my vote pf. 

Give the young kid some space.  When not required to do so much ruck work , like last year, he made some great leads, clunked some strong mark and kicked some super goals

He is going through a rough spot and needs support not  mockery

I am not mocking him. Just saying I think he is overrated.

JVR will be a top shelfer. Some of you clowns were seeing the compensation pick as a win win if we lost Viney to geelong fo free agency in pre 2021. So I interpret what a number of you think about football as though I was picking up my dogs feaces off your front lawn to be honest when it comes to knowing our players.  

Would be an interesting thread to dig up

He also provides defensive efforts. Last night he got a key contested mark with 2 minutes on the clock and Port just bombing into our 50. Those can be game winning one percenters.

See what I mean below. Case in Point. All re: Jack Viney staying or going in sep 20. He was always our same Jack.  Some people or  just thick. And on that premise I will not buy the JVR is over rated or no good.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons. Date of Birth: 10 January 1992 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 19 Career Total: 235 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 24 Melbourne Football Club: 9th Best & Fairest: 316 votes

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
