It concerns me to see Miller's game rated below Green's game by Demonland frontrunners. Miller's performance was all contested stuff - one on one - gutsy, committed, explosive. Green is a great quarterback-style loose man in the back line and he is playing really well. Miller was the match-winner.

Personally I found Green and Miller's games pretty hard to split, as there's no doubting they were both pure class yesterday. I wouldn't argue against giving either of them the 6.

It was great watching that last Miller mark on TV. Green actually had as much claim on it as Miller did and was NOT going to let go, until he realised it was a teammate he was fighting with. It was a very fitting end that our two best players on the day battled to take the mark that won the match. Great stuff.

I'd love to see some fitness stats and GPS data on Green. He seems to cover more ground and run more than anyone in the team. I know he was loose in defence for much of yesterday, but to be able to run down the ground with Wona at the death shows he must have a really good tank.

Bruce never seems to get as much credit for running all day either.

Green wasn't loose all day. Leigh Matthews said he tried a few players to match-up on him but they couldn't get near Greeny.

i thought he had a stinker today... seemed to be rushed all the time, which resulted in bad decisions with the ball... got enough of it, but needs to use it better... don't drop him though, he'll learn and a couple of weeks up will do him good...

Valenti's disposal was hit and miss, but he is such a smart player and he instinctively knows where the ball is. I thought he did some terrific work in the middle, got first hands on the ball 4 times plus a couple of clearances and gathered 19 possessions with just 70% TOG.

It was encouraging just to see him find the pill over and over again (in his THIRD match) and even though some of his kicks were ordinary, his decision making was good. I like smart players, IMO understanding the play can make up for a multitude of sins.

OK, I didn't mean loose as in "unopposed", I meant loose as in "extra". The fact that Matthews tried to match him up and Green ran off his man countless times is just added evidence to him having a great tank.

6. Brad Green

(only just, if at all behind) 5. Brad Miller

4. Colin Sylvia

1. any number of players but I will go with Cameron Bruce

Apologies to Brock McLean, Mark Jamar, Paul Wheatley, Lynden Dunn, Matthew Bate, Paul Johnson and our entire defensive unit who I thought were not too bad, especially considering the collective scoring power and size of the opposition forwards.

miller had the claim to it, he was the first to touch it and he was the man in front. if miller lost hold of it and green brought it down it should have been play on imo.

same as the mark to a brisbane player up the other end should defs have been play on, the man in front had it first, it should have been called touched.

Not to be an @sshole or anything, but how is Brad Green not winning this? He has been superb all year and in AA contention IMO. He has been good every game and leading from the front with his courageous marks and directing the play from HB. Would be happy with him as our next captain actually!

The same reason that Sylvia is coming 11th.

The people that vote dont have a clue.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
