Jake had a couple of poor seasons that saw him dropped a few times. Very inconsistent

Things clicked last year so hopefully he can recreate that form. But he won’t transform us

Au contraire

A forward who stops the other teams best interceptor. It's an extremely important role in the modern game.

Still reckon defensive forward is OVERATED! I'd prefer a gun goalkicker than a defensive forward!

I’m still annoyed that his screamer wasn’t paid. So obviously a mark. 

His running patterns today opened up our forward line. And he showed last year that he can adapt it depending on the defence. I think it really clicked for him last year and it looked like he was enjoying making the other forwards look good as well. 

A big Welcome Back Melky!

His left leg right bullet i50 pass in front of the members was elite.

Can’t recall who he hit uncontested at full forward but it was great.

His kicking forward really is amazing and when he’s playing well I think he makes us a couple goal better team with his vision.

Always been a fan of his but was very surprised about him coming straight in but he exceeded my expectations.

Be fascinating how the recovery goes as his fitness will still be a long way back

McGovern had no influence on the game either. 

By the way, why is McGovern allowed 3-5 business days to dispose of the football? 🤷‍♀️

9 marks, 9 kicks, 2 goals 1 on return

opened up our forward line, and minimised their ability to rebound

super to have him back out there

Should really have been 10 marks ;)

This is typical demonland herd mentality. For Melks sake I hope I am wrong but this smells like a Spargo rd 1 inclusion. You should not pick players unless they are cherry ripe. Melks hasn’t played in 10 months and is how 33 years old. Sorry chook but you have your head in the sand with this one.

yep it was a speccy moment and all on instinct.

I think it was Fritta's hand that got in the way.

One day someone will explain to me how come team-mates fly for same mark?

In other words, how come team-mates don't talk - is there not enough time to say yours?

I could understand if it was an opponents hand it collected, but it was his team-mates hand, come on umps.

No sense of theatre at all.

Who wouldn’t? Not sure what gun goal kickers we have sitting on the shelf waiting for a game. The shelf compromises of NQR forwards like Laurie, Billings and Schache.

Rarely gets beaten and takes out an intercepting defender. He make Fritta a better forward as it’s the role Fritta has played of late.

The only person who didn't think that was Milky's mark seemingly was the maggot with the whistle.  Even the weagles thought it was...they,all ,surprised...possibly Jake too but HE thought it was good.

Changed the momentum a little too at that moment.  Weagles scored shortly after. They shouldn't have.

And that's one of the main reasons we fell out of the finals last year. No Melksham.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
