Quality of the contest belies the relative ladder position of both sides.

Do I not know what belies mean? This looks exactly what 16 v 19 should look like

Certainly do and am enjoying the game. A tight competitive contest with most blokes giving it a real go.

Interesting to see that Fraser Rosman is currently lining up for Port Melbourne.

Schache - good, but could easily be better, not screaming afl 

Fullarton - Schache with more speed but less skill

Jeffo - stats aren’t there but looked faster and more willing, not his worst game. No coordination going forward 

KFW - probably the worst, but geez he barely plays. Such a waste of time him turning up 

Willy V - slowed a bit in q2 and did a few too many ruckman things, doesn’t kick as well as he thinks.

Laurie - cracking in hard but he can’t break in to space and the missed tackles are killers

Hunter - a mile off

Tomlinson - lifted but still meh

Turner - reading it beautifully  and getting hands on it, rusty but promising 

Adams - gets spun around too easily, gets caught flat footed with the ball and bangs it to no one.

AMW - willing tackler, competes well, decision making/ball use shaky 

Sesto - good when he finds the ball, just doesn’t find enough

Kynan Brown - willing, able

Jeffo really needs to get more involved.  I may have missed a few but barely sighted for mine

I know he's had a shoulder issue but Ollie's run past the ball quite a bit today and / or just sits back ball watching.

Laurie showing plenty.     
Fullarton has promise for the near future.      
Verrall definitely in time.     
Turner not bad for a first up run.   
Tomlinson looks disinterested and confidence shot. Understandable on both counts.  
Grave doubts about Jefferson.    
Put a line through Sestan.    
Are they having a laugh by playing KFW?

Why does this commentator scream in to the mic at every shot at goal? Someone fix him. Please. It’s been going on for years

Moniz is a forward every day of the week.  Madness trying to make him into something he isn't imv.

Will he learn some defensive aspects...maybe.  But in the course of doing so he might also lose some of his crumbing/ offensive flair, skill and intuition.

You don’t lose skills in a few weeks and we have no small defensive depth, but the moment we have any defenders back he needs to go forward again.

I get that but its not like he's going to be the difference down back.  He might up forward and in the mean time has no chance to score and possibly stick his hand up for a berth at senior level either.

What a waste.

Hunter can play his role from here surely

Also very little pressure when the ball hits the deck inside 50.  You just had Turner come all the way from HB after being involved in the first part of the chain there.... then having to put a 3rd effort in to try and pressure loose Port players inside 50.

Ridiculous

Hasn't looked out of place either, taken some marks up the wing and used his body well.

Getting beaten purely by the Port’s strong bodies ability to get hands out whilst being tackled. And umpires giving them a ridiculous amount of leeway to do so

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
