Cameron Bruce - pathetic dinky handballs that put his teammates under pressure. He does this every week, and has done nothing to rectify it.

Clint Bartram - continually gets caught holding the ball.

Brad Miller - the fact he has played all 10 games is an indictment on the MFC, and no wonder we are dead last. Fumbles, missed marks, poor kicks. He does it all.

Daniel Bell - shocking awareness, still hasnt taken any steps to improve that area. Been the same since day 1.

I can't fault Miller early on, the disposal to him was so far below par that it was embarrassing.

Missed a sitter of a mark with no pressure in the 1st quarter. So when the ball did get deliverd to him well, he failed miserably.

Also had the ball to himself on the boundary line, and fumbled it over the line with no pressure at all.

I thought you would be 'up and about' after today's game. You're usually there to pick over our carcass like a vulture. Your posts are so one dimensional it's hilarious! These guys weren't the only ones who sucked today. I thought we were going to lose when i saw our team on thursday. Some of the guys who were dropped was just plain baffling. Got no idea why Valenti was dropped for an Yze for instance. :blink:

I totally agree re: Bell and Bartram. Time for Bell to go IMO, I see no value in him at all. Hasn't improved much but is regularly played. Bartram at least puts his body on the line and tries to win some of the contested ball.

Disagree re: Miller. He isn't helped by shocking disposal inside 50 (or the sunlight)

I don't think you can pick out a couple from the herd. We have a very very ordinary bunch of footballers in general not just a couple.

If you took our best 22 and put it against 16 sides in the comp I could think of very few of our players getting a game, to highlight your pet hates is not helping YM.

Simon Buckley

Almost always chooses the wrong option to kick to, and when he does in fact choose the right option, his skills let him down and he misses the target. Still think he is one for the future though and I like his endeavour.

The awareness of our current playing crop is appalling.

This will, hopefully, develop with some experience and some more confidence.

Bailey was renowned at Port as a fantastic player developer. We have to hope that he can continue this at Melbourne.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
