CREATIVE forward Shannon Byrnes underlined his value to Melbourne's forward set-up with five goals in an intra-club game at Casey Fields in Cranbourne today.

Byrnes bagged three goals in a lively opening term at his new club in the heat and swirling wind that made it difficult for ball handling.

Demons coach Mark Neeld said later the dual Geelong premiership forward's verbal directions were equally as important as his precise finishing skills.

"Shannon has been really good for us over summer with his leadership and the way he trains. And for him to come out and play pretty well was good,'' Neeld said.

"He might be short in stature, but in terms of volume, he's pretty loud. And that's good for our young players to hear and see the way that he moves.

"The boys were ripping into him out there. Look, he played well. It's February, but it was a good start. Better than playing poorly.''

David Rodan was another new Demon to find the ball regularly during the simulated match practice over four 20 minutes quarters.

"He's very similar to Shannon in terms of personality. They'll like two little mossies that have been let loose in the change rooms,'' Neeld said.

Jack Watts was steady across half-back, best and fairest winner Nathan Jones racked up plenty of possessions and youngsters Jack Viney and Jimmy Toumpas quickly adjusted to the tempo.


Eddie: Let the Dees off the hook

Co-captain Jack Trengove, key forward Mitch Clark, new goalkicker Chris Dawes and high-leaping forward Jeremy Howe didn't play the Demons first practice match.

Neeld said Dawes and Howe will play next Friday's NAB Cup opening round against North Melbourne and Richmond and he remained hopefully Trengove and Clark, still in rehab from serious foot injuries, may be ready for the AFL season opening round.
