That's the best sledge on Mortons performance so far tonight!

Morton "played" tonight.

Correct and to name two forwards out when they hardly saw the ball? Bennell was ok through limited opportunity.

Thought Trenners and Jones did well, the rest can fight over the outs.

If it was based solely on tonight's game, you would drop 18 players. So realistically:

IN: Petterd, Maric

OUT: Morton, Woneamirri

Morton is a soft player. I have never been so frustrated by a player. Wona is a touch stiff, but he played in the midfield for alot of tonights game and got smashed. I can't think of anyone else I would drop though, even accounting for how bad they were.

Based on tonight and the previous few games I could see a reason to drop almost every player.

It is hard to blame the forwards, as the ball never gets there, and when it does, the delivery is usually average.

It is also hard to blame the backline, as the are under the pump for the majority of the game (even when we are winning) due to our tactic of letting other teams carry the ball into their own forward half before we decide to put pressure on them.

That being said, without even watching the Casey game I would bring in Petterd, Maric, Blease (if they think he can run out a game).

I would drop any of Green, Davey (but I know they are both safe, despite the fact they have iven little to nothing this year) Bennell and Dunn.

My god we need Scully and McKenzie back. We need speed and tackling pressure and we need to bloody atack the ball and opponents and start to gut run. It is so frustrating.

Brad Green was the most disappointing last night. Can't drop him though. And we delisted our performing captain.

Without a doubt, Bennell has to go.

So many players were rubbish, could drop them all . . . .

OUT: Bennell, Morton

IN: Two guys who give a [censored].

Unfortunately I doubt the FD has the balls for it but after 5 games this year it is time for

A large number to be sent to Casey if for no other reason than to show we need more effort.

Out: Wona,Bennel, frawley, Morton and Green ( that will not happen )Tapscott will be suspended.

In: Warnock, Mcdonald, Strauss, Maric, Petterd and Bate.

I am very serious about Green I have only seen 1 game from him this year where I thought he earned his spot.

It is time for a big statement how much bigger would that be?

But alas I don't expect much from our Coach.

Playing half a season we would have got more out of Mcdonald that we have so far out of Green.

Tapscott will not even be cited. He didn't hit him in the head. He didn't raise an arm. It was just probably a little far from the bloke with the ball but he could mount an argument like Barry Hall that it was in the motion of making a play or run...

Out- Dunn, Bennell, Morton (as much as it annoys me)

In- Petterd, Maric (as long as he plays ok at Casey), Blease or Strauss (if they put in another good Casey performance)

Bennell, Davey AND Wona should all be dropped. Soft passengers. Morton and Grimes have stalled and deserve a run in the two's.

MAcdonald, Petterd, Bate all deserve games and we may as well see what guys like Cook, Blease and that have.

Not sure Tapscott will get week though, wasn't high contact and he was fine after it.

Out:Bennell (sure he does a couple of nice things a game, but it his work off the ball that concerns me. When was the last time he applied some forward pressure?), Morton( I'm not sure what his role is these days), Dunn

In: Petterd, Maric, MacDonald

    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.
