wat are peoples thoughts on him?? was playing backline for sandy for most of the year but i reckon he is more of a forward who can kick big goals. accurate kick, quick and has vice like grip.

how many games would you expect him to play?

doesn't strike me as a reactive type thinker or instinctive reactions. more a solid intelligent thinking his way through methodically defender type. I think he's good.

I have not seen a massive amount of the kid, but he has seemed ok in what i have seen. A bit of promise there but whether that continues and blossoms who can tell.

I think he is going to be a player with some talent but in the end. Just isn't quite up to it (AFL standard)

i was at one game i think against port melbourne where he really looked good, almost jared riversesque. is suited to the backline. unfortunately he seemed to drop off throughout the remainder of the season. I spoke to Mick Malthouse at a willytown v sandi game and he said the pies had a really good look at him. not sure where he was taken in relation to goldsack but id suggest for mick it was one or the other.

i think next year he will dominate vfl playing CHB. he wont take the big hits and needs to be stronger in the contest, perhaps with a pre season in the gym he may take more confidence into next year. his real strength is like rivers for me is his ability to read the play. but again needs to be much stronger in the contest.

Not too many, but providing he continues to improve that's okay.

Too early to judge whether he'll be a player or not IMO.

FUnny you say that, because the best thing I saw him do all year was his deft tap on in the forward line to a running player while he was airborne and under pressure

The player he tapped it to went on to kick a goal

Cant remember who we were playing , but it was a beauiful play. Very quick thinking

    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

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    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
