Game Day: Adelaide v Melbourne 


Chelly

Recommended Posts

Scully 18 touches, Trengove 22 and McDonald 23.

Good reading.

And now they're saying Bell popped his shoulder and Jurrah broke his arm. What the hell is going on over there?

For listeners in Melbourne:

The Dees trail by just 3 points at 3 quarter time. A slow start, probably partly due to arriving late to the ground after an unexpectedly protracted plane flight (massive head wind nearly doubling the time for the flight). After a disappointing first 10 minutes where the Crows put on 3 goals to zip, our neonatal midfield missing Moloney, Davey, Sylvia and Morton, started to get on top. Just a quick reminder about this young midfield - Grimes - 12 AFL games, Scully - zero AFL games, Trengove - zero AFL games, Gysberts - zero AFL games. Melbourne kicked the next 5 or 6 goals and dominated an Adelaide side which while depleted, were probably not as depleted as we were. Not to forget that we lost the services of Jurrah and Bell with shoulder/arm injuries. Adelaide then had a period of the game through the third quarter where they got on top and clawed their way back into the game, and then into the lead. A late goal by Petterd put the Dees back into e contention. Overall, a great effort by a baby Dees side, and an exciting quarter to come. Scully 16 touches. Trengove 21 touches. Petterd 3 or 4 goals?

For listeners in Adelaide:

The inevitable is coming. Our extremely undermanned side led by superman a.k.a. Kurt 'Just the tip" Tippet are about to overpower this shizen Melbourne outfit who were smashed by Richmond last week and who have made the finals once in the last ten years. A Melbourne defender has played well, but the most evident thing is that all of Melbourne's ex-South Australians are dominating, but not as much as our boys who have stayed at home.

Update - Bell dislocated shoulder. Jurrah - broken bone in forearm.

bartram got slung to the ground and landed on his shoulder, the fool found it very amusing.

Thanks for that. not sure where I was.

6-12 for jurrah, broken forearm

jurrah has broken his arm, according to a melbourne official.

Shattering..

Rudeboy (who's proven his legitimacy) has just mentioned that he spoke to Liam, who said it's a popped shoulder.

I'm thinking either chinese whispers got the wires crossed and they got the diagnoses backwards, or the commentators are just woefully incompetent. I'm going to go with the latter.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
