When we were are at our best, we often had Brayshaw playing as a defensive midfielder (as well as an attacking mid when it suited)

Not sure that Petracca, Oliver or Viney can play that role as marking strength and the ability to spoil was part of Gus' role.  Maybe Rivers? 

Not advocating Langford at half back or on a wing (Gus also played those roles at other times), but more so at the defensive side of the midfield sweeping from side to side

We need some versatility in the midfield and that's maybe why we drafted Langford in the first place 

Of course, we could also play Langford as a forward mid or a HHF if augers well.  Right now, Langford has the base attributes so we'll soon see where it all goes from here

 

Always appreciate the outside of the box thinking Macca!

I was at Gosch's yesterday and it was the first time I've seen him up close. I was super impressed with his work ethic and just how physically ready for a first year player. He outbodied some of

Cripps/Green are the best comparisons - he doesn't have the explosive power of Petracca (as very very few do).

To be fair, Petracca didn't have the explosive power of Petracca in his 1st pre-season either.

The role referenced fits in with defence-first mantra

Last year the average score against us was 78 points where as in the 2021 premiership year it was 65 points.  And a similar number in 2022 & 2023?

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
