Demon Jack

Tommy Mac for mine. Judging from Saturday, He seems to have taken his game to another level over the preseason. He looks like he's improved his contested marking out of sight. Adds another string to his bow.

I'm not sure what to feel watching this. Frawley playing on Clark is just plain nutty. Forgot Jared Rivers still plays for the Cats. This gets more bizarre by the second.

Crows lead by 57 against North with 5 minutes left before half time. Huge reality check coming up. Edit: 63 points now Double Edit: 69 points.

Adelaide making North look like...well...us back in 2012-13.

Suprised he only had the 9 touches. Felt like he was always in the action. However, 9 tackles is unbelievable on debut. Anyone aware of the record amount of tackles on debut is?

All of yesterday's goals for those who can't watch the replay http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2015-04-05/rd-1-watch-all-the-goals

SFS said Garlett and TMac were best on ground.

Gee, it really was a hair standing up on your arm type moment when they walked onto the ground.

Brisbane a chance here...would cap off a perfect day if they could take down a full strength Collingwood.

Heeney from the Swans another contender for this week. 17 touches and a goal.

God it's good to have footy back .

Toump out and Vince in. If Dawes comes in then it will most likely be Frost who is dropped. I would rather Dawes force his way back into the team rather than be gifted games. Frost would be very stiff if dropped. Edit: If Garland is injured then Dawes comes in.

Just arrived back home from today's incredible win. Best time I've had watching a Demons game for some years. - Jesse Hogan is a beast. Haven't seen a player crashing packs and taking marks like that since Neitz. - VandenBerg. Where did this guy come from? Barlow comparisons are well justified. - Nathan Jones was his usual brilliant self. - Watts was immense up forward. With Hogan and Frost taking the key defenders for most of the game, Watts just about did whatever he wanted. Finished with 3 goals. Could this be his year? (Also how good was that tap to Garlett?) - Jamar and Garland played their best games for some time. Both hit the scoreboard and were involved in some crucial passages of play. - Jeff Garlett is a new Aaron Davey. Kicked freakish goals and applied forward pressure in a similar manner to Flash. Will do the number #36 justice - Viney took on God and won. Looked fresh after a disappointing NAB cup. - Brayshaw already looks like a 100 game player. Finished the day with 9 tackles and helped set up that Jones goal in the 2nd. Could be a possible contender for the Rising Star if Roos keeps playing him. Incredible game. Go Dees!

6. Tommy Mac 5. N.Jones 4. J.Watts 3. J.Garlett 2. J.Viney 1. C.Garland About 8 other players unlucky to miss out.

Garland playing his best game since 2013. Brayshaw and Vanders look they've both played 100 games. Positives everywhere at the moment. Need to keep this up.

Kent was on the boundary earlier doing some jogging. Should be back on.

How good is Vanders? Frost, Brayshaw, Hogan and Lumumba also impressive.

Leaving now. Go Dees!

Ablett named. O'Meara missing. Still a massive chance regardless.

This

In Gus we trust. Good luck to the young man. Dropping Grimes is a big statement, one which I don't mind.

Happy days. Congrats to VB (not the Adelaide one). Still working on a good nickname.

You're right, wait till after the game on Saturday instead.

Agreed, looking forward to next weeks! Enjoyed your humorous look at the weeks events/pre season . I'm sure Col enjoyed your first episode . Go Dees.
