With this many injuries we can't afford to give Davey a week or so off (tribunal might do it for us though). Make him work hard to get back into form I say. Maybe chuck him at half back and get some run.

Indeed - it doesn't look like we'll have any choice in terms of him missing a couple.

Needs to give us a bit of a spark - a couple of goals in this term would be nice.

I missed who captined the club today, but isnt mcdonald and mclean the only 2 from the leadership group in the side?

if so surely it would be chook as juinor captained last week.

wasnt ppl saying that brown needed to be dropped

i rest my case

His disposal hasn't been great as normal, however he will be 32 next year, I rest my case.

Half time report:

- Junior captain

- Melbourne finally manning-up, still can't deliver the ball forward

- Robbo getting belted

- We're getting spanked in the clearances... AGAIN!

- Frawley very good

- McLean getting free and finding the ball, good signs - 17 possessions so far

- Garland is very quick for his size

- Why isn't Newton at FF?

- Carroll doing a good job on Brown, with the help of the midfield

- We are terrible!

Oh, and I love Jonathan Brown! :wub:

obviously a poor scoreline but theyre having a dip - this is the worst side on paper the MFC has put on the park for a very long time

I'd argue our worst since 1997.

There is no experience in the vital areas. Our defence is make-shift at best, and we have no real midfield rotations.

It's a very young side, which is why it looks quite bad.

But when you think about it, the majority of these players should represent our club for years to come.

Apart from Brown, Ward, Bizzell, Junior and White, the rest of the squad has another 50-200 games left in them!

Our biggest issue is that without Bell and Rivers, we really struggle down back.

Frawley is doing a very good job so far, but Carroll is again fighting out of his weight/height division.

Id go back further...lol

I have to keep reminding myself of this!! Who does Brisbane have out? I can't think!!

Frawley doing a good job again. Looks like Danners faith was well placed.

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
