Clarry just did the most superb candy-sell on the run right in front of me, then dished off a perfect handball. My heart sang. He’s back, baby!

It was an incredibly tough day for tall forwards ..actually talls in general. Jefferson was def not disgraced & so premature to make that comment … It was ok sitting under the trees but without th

Potentially horrible result for AMW. Absolute shame as he was looking in ripping form for R1. 
 

Fingers crossed it’s a more fortuitous result for the young man.

AMW looks like the dreaded knee. Fingers crossed. Geez I hope we don’t become the ‘injury ridden team’ this year.

There's a reason the NFL has banned the hip drop tackle - very annoying to see it pulled out with a couple of minutes to go in a match sim.

Possibly an MCL? He was holding the inside of the knee.

Yeah that’s what I thought. Which is consistent with that type of tackle where they are dragged as trying to turn.

On the tv coverage it looked like he pointed more to the inside of his knee rather than the outside. (Which would be a good sign if it was a medial not an acl)

Teams have been doing it for several years now. There have been several knees courtesy of this dangerous tackle.

Would think Lindsay is a certainty too. He is all class.

That was my suspicion, often hurts more than acl. Hoping for the best

ACL by the looks. A couple of big F words as he comes off. 

What? Like 'Floccinaucinihilipilification'?

I was hoping for a narrow win with no injuries. Still, glad to get the 4 points, and the percentage could be handy.

I can't ever remember Brute Bernard wrestling one-on-one, he was always with Skull Murphy. 

Usually against Spiros Orion and Mario Milano (before he went "bad")

I’m not able to watch but been reading this and thought we were 5 goals down. Get a grip people!

Pessimism seems rife on the comments so far ... and very limited for the DL  folk who cannot get to the game.

I don’t know why they didn’t go with AJ in place of Jeffo. He does provide that 2nd ruck option to chop out Gawn. I don’t know if that’s the plan with Campbell.

Bill already has his ticket punched and Jeffo looking to be that way as well unfortunately for the both of them. 
 

I did however think Chandler worked really hard playing in that role. Often goes unnoticed as it’s a forward defensive role.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. 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
