Demon Jack

I'm unaware of his contract status, but is there any chance we could lure Luke Parker back to Victoria?

How good was Gawns tap to Pederson in the second quarter that led to Bernies first goal?! Gawn has the talent and hopefully he can build a tank. He's still only 23 as well.

First off, congratulations to Lynden Dunn who will play his 150th match against the Saints this weekend. On that topic, I thought I would compile a list of players who are also likely to reach milestones during the remainder of the year. Players who have already reached milestones this season Heritier Lumumba - 200 games: Round 1 v Gold Coast, MCG Jack Watts - 100 games: Round 5 v Fremantle, MCG Cameron Pederson - 50 games: Round 9 v Port Adelaide, Traeger Park Upcoming Milestones (These are based on the assumption that these players will play every game from round 11 to their milestone game.) Lynden Dunn - 150 games: Round 11 v St Kilda, Etihad Stadium Matt Jones - 50 games: Round 15 v Essendon, MCG Dom Tyson - 50 games: Round 19 v North Melbourne, MCG Jack Grimes - 100 games: Round 21 v Carlton, MCG Nathan Jones - 200 games: Round 22 v Fremantle, Domain Stadium Jeremy Howe - 100 games: Round 23 v GWS, Etihad Stadium

After seeing both Spencer and Gawn in the team over the last month, I feel far more confident about a post-Jamar future. Both seem extremely capable of taking the #1 ruck position. Saying that, I still would make an offer to a more experienced ruckman who can continue to oversee their development.

Despite rumours that Christian Salem has undergone a setback, he's only listed as one week. Hopefully he'll be back after the bye.

Probably a three horse race for the rising star at the moment. Cripps, Hogan and Brayshaw.

God I love seeing Nate Jones in beast mode. He was back to his supreme best today.

It was clear he was very nervous early on. He fumbled the ball a lot in the first quarter. As the game wore on, he seemed to back his pace which at times ended up placing him under more pressure, leading to a rushed handball. Has been serviceable so far this season. Better than anything we've had on halfback for some time.

He's only 10 games into his career, but Gus could very well be the best first round pick we've drafted in years. Definitely deserved the nod this week. I already feel confident whenever he has the ball in hand. EDIT: Just reached the personal milestone of 1000 posts. Cheers to all who put in the hard work that makes this website possible. Go Dees!

Dunn actually did an ok job on Cloke from the second quarter onwards. Tommy Mac was being monstered in the first quarter.

Watts also played his best game since round 1. It was great to see the boys get around him after he won the free kick and kicked the goal.

I think losing Vanders at half time really hurt our aggression and pressure. Was set for another 25-30 disposal, 10 tackle game.

I've never realised what a great contested mark Cross is. Would love to see him sign on for another year and reach 50 club games and 250 AFL games

Out: Fitzy, Vanders (injury pending) In: Grimes, Tyson I love Fitzy but I always thought we were one tall too heavy before the game. Shame about Vanders, hopefully he's able to return straight after the bye. Grimes and Tyson both probably should've played today.

Looks like Christian has bulked up a fair bit. Looking forward to seeing him in action next year.

If anyone is more deserving of some success, its Colin Garland. Let's just hope it's with us.

Although I think he does a good job, I'd like to see more presenters on the website and not just Bergs.

Bring Riley and Tyson in if he's good to go. Against the likes of Pendlebery, Swan and Adams, we'll need our best clearance players in the middle.

I would usually back Watts in these situations but I just can't this time. He is done...

We're having real trouble running out games. I though Mission would improve the fitness base of the group. Didn't seem much different to 2012-2013 fitness levels.

Viney in, Jetta out. :|

M.Jones kicks a goal. We need to bring Viney on now!
