Ran into Brock McLean this morning while having lunch in Moonee Ponds, he was having lunch with family. Still on crutches and leg all strapped up, I wished him well for next season.

He obviously isn't in Perth today, and doubt Robbo will be there either (still on crutches no doubt).

Without McLean, Green and Moloney not there a guy like Jones can't handle the extra pressure yet. Need him to step up in the middle and win us a few clearances in the third quarter!

2nd term was pathetic but there is still a half of footy left!

Only 2 players at Melb have played every game this season.... Jones and Bruce.....

God the radio sounds terrible!!! Turn over turn over turn oer goal goal goal FARK

We can't get the ball past the centre at the moment. Turnover city. Just as I write this we turn it over again and, yep, it's Buckley. Learn how to kick.

This is only the third time this season that I feel utterly ashamed of our performance.

Apart from Miller who is working his arse off, our players are lazy and generally just don't care.

And how many goals can Wheatley cost us with his turnovers before somebody drags him off the ground?!!!

Not winning is one thing, playing like we are at the moment is completely unacceptable.

P.S.- awesome leadership from Bruce out there :rolleyes:

Especially after the strides we have made over the last month. Freo are rubbish. Absolute rubbish. And we have rolled over and let them run all over us for 2 quarters. I think a summer working on our skills is ahead for the boys. We can't keep turning it over like this.

So many players just butchered the ball that quarter, disgraceful effort. Morton and Sylvia two of the chief suspects. Our leading forwards apart from Miller were absymal, Juice has had about 3 touches for the game, Aussie not many more.

And that holding the ball against Martin was a disgrace, notice Jakovich said it was a good decision, no surprises there, nor did he have much to say when it was obvious Sandilands had dropped that mark inside 50.

Geez, its gonna be a long plane flight home for these boys...

Depends if you want draft picks or wins

I want draft picks, but the way we're playing today no amount of early picks is going to help us.

Draft picks don't make you accountable for your man, don't enable you to hit targets, and sure as hell doesn't make you play with more desire.

We only have 3 senior players out there today, and not one of them has stood up and done anything worth mentioning. Without McLean in the middle, Green down back and with Miller not getting any delivery up forward (having to run into the centre to try and provide an option), there's little wonder we're falling apart.

And for the love of god, would someone PLEASE teach Bate to play below his knees!!!

    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.

    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.

    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.
