Demon Jack

Bowey having a seriously impressive 10 or so minutes

Didn't realise we had Tom Petty lining up in the red and blue today.

Spargo picks out the needle in a haystack that is ANB (been impressive so far) who slots it! Demons leading 34-13

Sparrow marks the rushed St Kilda kick out of defence but hits the post.

Kozzy doing it all over the ground at the moment

Bowey with a lovely defensive mark.

Melbourne kick an early one in the second as Gawn crashes the pack, allowing Trac to walk into goal

Early thoughts - Hunter looks a player. Had about 8 touches (all constructive) and a goal. - Oliver and Petracca: Business at usual. - TMac imposing early. - Gawn started in the ruck before Grundy came on about 10 minutes in. Gawn then took the final 5 or so minutes. - McVee had a couple of nice moments.

Kozzy on the siren!!! TMac provides the contest and Pickett picks up the crumbs!

Saints starting to control the game a bit. Have had the last several entries to no real success.

Bowey looks a bit rusty with his ball use so far. Took a nice 1 on 1 mark earlier though.

Hunter with his first in the red and blue!

Brown with a nerve settler. Ball use inside 50 impressive so far! Dees lead 8-6 8 minutes in

Most of the play so far has been in Melbourne's forward half aside from the opening 30 seconds

Hunter has had it about 5 times already. Early missed shots from Chandler and Trac and TMac

Word has it that this guy will do the rounds at half time.

Probably one of the more bizarre moments in club history here.

Was just rewatching this playlist the other day featuring individual player highlights from the game. Great way to relieve the Grand Final for the 167th time. I know they post here occasionally, so shoutout to @The Mighty Demons for the collection! That channel is a treasure trove of Demon content.

I saw Fritta on the bike for a bit in the open air gym area. Don't think he participated in anything else.

Trac is winning every contest he's involved in. Looks set for a better of a season. Also, Viney looks more physically imposing and threatening than he ever has, which is saying something! The 'JV made me cry' thread is getting a few bumps this year I reckon.

May cuts off Petty's kick to Gawn and bursts forward, kicking to the advantage of JVR.

Petty clunks a beauty against JVR. Lever very vocal in the back 50.

Laurie with a very clever tap on to a running Deakyn Smith.

Seston shrugs off a Dunstan tackle to break clear. Dunstan looked like he was in a little bit of bother but seems ok now.

Tomlinson giving TMac a lesson in body work at the moment. EDIT: Although as I post that, McDonald returns serve.
