He has impressed in Melbourne’s NAB Cup and Challenge practice matches, with his forward line tackling pressure proving to be a highlight of his game

Hmmm

Defensive pressure in the forward line

Would be nice to see that this week

Not great news about Grimes. Back injuries can hamper players for years, they can even prematurely end careers, as we well know.

Hopefully he'll be ready to go next year.

Well done to Aussie though.

Surely this is the end of Adem Yze's career?

We were good early last week when we had small forwards creating forward pressure. When that dropped off the ball was moved too easily.

It's no surprise that Aussie was the first elevated. But it is disappointing that Grimes will be a fair way off. But, given the year that it is, I'd rather they get it fully right rather than risk anything.

Yes, some forward pressure.

Disappointed about Valenti as he's a go getta. Limitations shimitations.

Get well Grimey.

A groin/shin related back complaint? Why are the club continually covering up the true aspect of his injuries?

Posted

Something Maric and Aussie like to do ..is make it hard for that ball to leave the forward line..

I could name somone else who just stood there on Sunday...but Id be accused of harping on !! lol

Onya Aussie.. keep at it mate

Posted

Well we shall see if he gets a gig this weekend, hope he does, We need some one to chase out of the forward ine, but more importantly we need someone to crumb, since Davey has been thrown up the ground we do not have a player to crumb the talls and the ball flies out of the F50 like it was shot from a cannon.

Aussie is VERY good at picking the ball up without missing a beat. A good ol skill you dont se too much of.

Disappointing about Grimes who was supposed to only be 3 or 4 weeks away but is now at least 8 away I suppose. The main thing however, is that he gets himself fit and ready to play later in the year and hopefully, can get touch of senior experience on the way.

Aussie would have to be a chance to gain selection for the Geelong game now as he has made the squad of 25.

Good luck to Aussie. Has impressed the right people and has apparently been working hard to get fitter and shed more weight. Will likely play this week as Davey wont play.

Not good news about Grimes. A back injury is one that plagues you for the rest of your career usually. Considering he hasnt even played a game yet, and has been suffering back problems since he was 16 or so...not good news :(

I don't think this (But it is disappointing that Grimes will be a fair way off) is what their saying.

Stay tuned over the next month.

    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.

    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
