  1. What a play from Bernie! Kent goals! Edit: Apologises, great play from Harmes!
  2. Sam Weideman has started very, very well.
  3. Dean Kent what a pass!
  4. O.Mac has started pretty well again. Meanwhile, goal Watts!
  5. Petracca important early.
  6. Hunt's run is just poetry in motion.
  7. Has the tools to be a very good player. Its been a fantastic development year for him. He's a tad inconsistent but it's easy to forget that he's still only 22. Could be on track to kick 30 goals this well.
  8. Probably the most accurate glimpse of the future we've had all season. Can't believe we've waited this long to see Brayshaw, Petracca, Stretch Oliver and Hogan in the same side. Best of luck to The Weed as well! Good idea for him to play some senior football before the end of the year so he can hit the ground running this pre-season.
  9. Boy, that was one belter of a week, regardless of the result. Keep up the great work GNF! Been a keen follower since the Roos speculation days.
  10. Not from the horses mouth, but promising nonetheless. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-08-01/demons-coach-paul-roos-expects-outofcontract-defender-tom-mcdonald-to-definitely-stay
  11. Currently sitting on 90 games so he'll have a good crack at the ton early next season. He's super deserving of the milestone. Still can't believe how Roos managed to turn him around.
  12. The problem is with Frost is that he's not a great contested mark, which means that playing him forward was never going to work. Thank goodness the coaching staff have come to their senses and are now playing him as a defender. It's safe to say that he's now looking more composed by the minute.
  13. Stretch has fantastic pace. Coming along very nicely and ahead of schedule.
  14. 6. Watts (The matchwinner. Our only four quarter performer) 5. Stretch (Run and class was important. Absolutely love him) 4. Vandenberg (Unlikely forward target. Recovered well after a shaky start, although I really wish we'd play him in the midfield as opposed to the half forward position made famous by Luke Tapscott and James Magner) 3. Petracca (On another level. The only player who looked likely to hit a target.) 2. Frost (Super job down back. Growing into a solid, reliable defender.) 1. O.Mac (Career best game. There is a light at the end of the tunnel)
  15. Nearly in tears. I'm so proud of Jack Watts. After all the pressure and criticism he's endured over the years, he's finally becoming the player and leader we always needed.
  16. Certainly better than BT and Luke Darcy. Over the top commentary filled with childish inside jokes.
  17. Final Changes In: Aaron Vandenberg Out: Alex Neal-Bullen
  18. Big congrats to Tommy! While his decision making and kicking skills left a bit to be desired for the average Melbourne supporter (myself included), he's developing into a very well rounded key defender who could very well be a 250+ game player for the Demons if he decides to stay. Im still stunned he's as young as he is! As mentioned earlier, 23 is a very young age to bring up the century. I hope he stays.
  19. Younger brother. Spitting image of Angus.
  20. Because of obvious reasons, Parish was always going to be given plenty of games and opportunities this year. Therefore, it makes sense that he's picking up the pace of the game quicker than Oliver. Oliver also needs a couple of pre-seasons to build a proper AFL standard tank. But once he does, strap yourself in, because although it could be argued that Parish is a more AFL ready player, Oliver has a much higher ceiling and may well prove be even better than the Viney's and Petracca's of the team. Also, the average disposal numbers between the two aren't drastically different. While Parish does accumulate more possessions (average of 20.5) it's only around two more than Oliver (average of 18.1).
  21. Took a nice mark earlier but missed the shot. Not great conditions for a key forward.
  22. Viv Michie on the board! Scorps running away with it.
