let me save you the worry of wondering and let you know that he's not.

and for Jarka's benefit, I'll make it clear that i didn't hear it personally from Juice but from a person who works with him every day at the club.

After watching Frawley playing for Sandy last week, I really like the look of this kid.

He's one of those players who seems to glide across the ground, the way he moves reminds me very much of the way Travis Johnstone and Nick Dal Santo move around. I'm not saying that he'll be as good as those two players but it's something I noticed last weekend. It looks like there feet hardly touch the ground when they run, hopefully this makes some sense.

So for those who are going to the game on Sunday, keep an eye on him and see if you agree.

Anyway, good luck to him, hope he does really well and has a long career for the Red and Blue.

 

excited about frawley... the way he broke/ran through tackles playing off a wing in the NAB cup was one of my only highlights for the year.

Amen to that hells bells.....

I have not had the opportunity to see Frawley as yet, being in Sydney and all.

But I am really looking forward to having a look into what I hope is going to be a very big part of our future.


Well, ever since our final Demonland/Demonology sponsorship night last year, when CAC played us his DVD on Frawley, i've been super keen to see him in the R&B.

He's a mentally mature young fella, with a strong body. He's super quick too, which means he could run with the Pavlich's and Buddy's of this world.

I would love to see the following back 6 settle in our defence ASAP. Wheels, Bell, Carroll, Rivers, Frawley and Petterd.

I very much like the sound of that back 6.

You can add Bartram when Whelan is out, our back six for the future, hopefully Frawley can get stronger like his uncle after a few seasons in the weights room. That's the only player we may need to add a stronger body Tall.

Hopefully this week we don't have Dunn and Miller playing, all those excited about Dunn on the wing are mis-guided by one game, he is a forward not a midfielder, with Robbo back play him at CHF Miller needs a spell. one of Cj or Brown should play hopefully it is CJ andI don't think Biz will get a game this week, our match ups down back look OK.

Holland-Pettrie or resting Ruck

Petterd-Harvey

Carroll-Edwards

Godfrey-Grant

Frawley-Jones

Bell to get however is left.

No midfield tags needed beat them one on one.

Love to see Half forward line Bate Dunn Davey with Robbo Neitz Yze behind them.

From what I can see you're simply arguing the point with Frawley because you don't agree with the point of view other have expressed regarding Newton.

Yes, I've already stated that. The reason why some people are saying that Newton shouldn't play yet is because he hasn't shown consistent good form with Sandy, I'm wondering why that rule doesn't apply to other players.

By the way, I've also already stated that I believe that Frawley should be playing.

If that's the case then that's great that the club has improved in that area because I can guarantee you it hasn't been very good in the past, and my source is from current and ex players. However, I'm more prepared to believe something when gained directly directly the source rather than second hand info.


fantastic to see yet another young kid get a run this year. this will mean 3 of last years draftees will now have gotten a run...

Good luck to Chip for tomorrow. Hopefully he will have a good debut, and be a solid player for us for 10+ years. We really need a good KP backman, and Chip looks to be it.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast Eagles

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
