GAME DAY THREAD

Recommended Posts

It'd be a hell of an effort to get up here.

Which begs the question, do we really deserve to be playing finals? Will we only get smashed week one?

Don't get me wrong, I still want to be there... But I can live with not making it if there's a big effort, like we've seen today.

Reminds me a bit of the Richmond game in reverse. The Hawks just look like they have us at arms length. I reckon the fresh legs might show and they'll run over us in the last quarter.

no chance for 4 points today :( MFC need to beat these sides if they want to play finals next year. in all conditions.

Next year, yes. This year we are still quite immature. The fact that we are in it up to our necks is a credit to the boys.

Back in touch, can't see us pinching it but who knows. Sounds like the umpires are bending us over.

yeah i can see your point there... i guess it is just frustration on my behalf, im not liking the close losses this year. better than the thumpings MFC have received over the last few years.

21 points appears to be a final margin, so does not reflect the day. Sounds like we've been all over them in parts, but we lacked the final bit of class to finish the game. Aaron Davey was a massive loss, being one down for most of the day is bad enough but when you lose your best player it just makes things 20x worse.

The commentators are full of nothing but praise for us, and IMO we shouldn't lose sight of what the aim was this year: improvement and constant competitiveness. Well done to the boys today, and who knows what next week will bring.

AAMI stadium, they way they played today I would think that MFC are a VERY good chance against port.

Very unlucky to lose Davey and find ourselves playing against Hawthorn and four pricks pretending to be umpires. What a disgrace this competition has become. Poor Frawley, who the hell wants to be a defender these days!

Good effort from us to stay in touch. At least we gave them a hard time of it.

Just got home from the game, and people are being harsh on Jack Watts again.

Wasnt his best game, but it has been a very hard day for players of his type.

If i had to put someone on the block it would be Clint Bartram - Yes he gets the ball and is brave but his disposal is not fit for Casey, let alone for the Demons at the MCG.

James McDonald is an amazing player, dont care if he takes a spot on the list for another year if he can be half as good.

James Frawley - Hold your head up, Buddy was given 1 in the 3rd quarter by the umpires. Some players you cant give room, Buddy is one of them.

The rest of the MFC - hard day at the office, there wont be many games where Brad Green gets 11 possies and our skills are that bad.

The Umpires - Ironic how they are sponsored by OPSM. Do they do reviews at half time? They could'nt of today, JASON DUNSTALL said we were hard done by at crucial moments...

All in all great performance, To go down by 21 points, playing 1 man down in the rain is a massive change from round 1. Just shows how far we have come.

From overseas, just caught the scores. Any main reason why we only kicked 1 goal in the last Q?

We had nothing left in the tank being a man down for 3 quarters.

Oh and the umpiring was such a disgrace that they ruined crucial attempts at goal for us.

We can hold our heads high. Everything was against us today and to lose by less than 4 goals is a good effort. We've come such a long way!

Fair call, Those F@#$ing Dawks are really going to cop it from us in the next decade

Geez we owe them Dozens of thrashings.

Was it a good Crowd?

48,000 or so, definitely as many if not more Demons there.

God I hate Hawthorn and their supporters. What a bunch of arrogant, self-righteous [censored]. Can't wait to smash them, and especially the crying princess Franklin and his beer gut.

Looking forward to watching them get ripped to shreds come finals.

Buddy should pursue an acting career - you can see the talent pouring out of him

Ok, yes the umpiring at times was on the verge of them wearinf Hawthorn jumpers but,

To me we were smashed, I mean SMASHED at the clearances and if some one could have stood some where within 5 meters of Sewell at a contest he and mitchel might not have destroyed us and given them first use oh so many times.

that to me, is where the game was lost.

The umpires, especially that moron #30 did not cost us, but did not help.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    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

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.

    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.
