Like as in a first Melbourne game (Heath) or a bona fide debut (XT or Luker)??? The suspense is killing me!

Any word on how Viney is tracking, Ghosty?

This is great, he's settled in so well into the team. Well and truly taken his opportunity.
Great news!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to @binman for filling the breech solo these weeks; it was great to hear your thoughts and analysis on a fantastic win during a time of excitement and change for the team.
Thanks too to Andy @Demonland for taking the time out of your travels to facilitate the continuation of the pod while you're away.

Not what ABC radio was saying. They were loving our attacking play right to the death and were gushing that we were playing the kind of footy they liked to see.

Correct. The Pies did that against us a few years ago as one example I can recall.

17 minutes ago, layzie said: Confession time.
I thought about not doing this. I don't want to make things about me. I don't want to draw attention to myself, if you want to have a pop at me go for it (although it's unlikely I'll read it). It's hard to lie here and although I don't know a lot of people here personally, I do like to share occasionally.
I left the game early yesterday. As with most other people it's something I hate doing. During the Goodwin top 4 runs, footy came first and I blew off a lot of family events to attend games and watch them. That night in early 2023 when Max was injured up in Brisbane I walked out of the restaurant at my brother's birthday and didn't come back. In the last year I've really thought about my relationship with supporting this club and as much as I love it I don't want to be married to it. I'm going to be a parent next month and my mum just finished several rounds of chemo. I see this time as one to still be a good fan but repay the debt a little. There was a chance I wasn't going to make it at all to this game but living close by I did want to make an appearance for Max and Tom.
I left during the third quarter to get home and be with my partner. It wasn't due to losing because as you know we were coming back. I still watched on and despite a big fluff up in the stream just before Langford kicked the go-ahead goal, I loved every bit of it and couldn't have been more proud.
I take being a supporter seriously. I stayed to the end in 08 against Freo, same with Brisbane in 23 when we were nearly 4 goals down with 6 mins to go. Maybe I'm not the biggest and best Demons fan right now but life has it's ebbs and flows.
To those of you there till the end, you're awesome. Truly awesome.
That's all.
Life trumps football. 👍

...and a special mention for TMac's crucial 2021 GF 3rd qtr ragdolling of the Dogs defender over the goal line to see Sparrow's kick safely through, without which we wouldn't have had the immortal "Bang bang bang".

Hey everyone it's Judd McVee's Mum's troll account.

2 minutes ago, BDA said: baker took a lot of steps there
Ran about 10 metres and then detoured around two players without bouncing the ball. I'd be the mean field umpire that theatrically blows the whistle on a running too far free kick as the ball sailed through the big sticks.

35 minutes ago, Ghostwriter said: We saw something really heartwarming today, Roo took a mark (one of many), and Checkers did a double fist-pump. It was clearly a knee-[censored] reaction and he reined it in immediately. But we saw it. He was like a proud dad.
Yes I saw that too. Also gave a fist pump from the goalsquare as Roo's kick sailed through. It was heart-warming to see - great signs in terms of his buy-in and embraced the mentor fwd role.

And didn't Petty kick 6 vs the Tigers a few years back. I have a recollection of him, Melky and someone (maybe Fritta) combining for 14 goals?

3 minutes ago, Dee-licious said: Kolt was so good defensively today. 8 scoring involvements to 6 and ran par on disposals and metres gained. He went head to head with “the best player in the afl” (he’s no Max) and walked away breaking even and dominated after quarter time. I hope this is the turning point for him. Trusted in the forward line, back line; and centre bounce. We don’t win without his efforts.
He had a fantastic second effort in the centre that recovered an error. Kudos to Kolt. He's a bit raw and makes a few mistakes, and could be more focused sometimes but he did well on a very tough assignment.

POSTGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
in Melbourne Demons
Heath is a 23yo that got pushed down St Kilda's ruck pecking order by their importing of a 26yo De Konig, and he's come to a club whose two main rucks on the list are both 34yo, one of whom is a peerless titan of the game he could learn greatly from.
