Hawthorn v Melbourne: NAB Cup 3


Forest Demon

Recommended Posts

Danny Frawley: "Jack Watts should have shepherded." Meanwhile, the TV replay shows him taking a Hawk out of the contest via a solid bump. Obviously he should have taken out both Hawks. Not sure how you do that, though. Criticism is fine, but make sure you know what you're talking about, Spud!

Watts has had about 5-6 posessions so far and has been involved at half forward

Yeah was gonna say Watts getting involved but still needs to go harder at the contest to impose himself and own the footy. Good signs that he's getting the footy though.

Watts doing well.

Howey is seriously a gun. Could be anything. Should be a high half forward. Amazing skills.

Our midfield is really lacking class and I really don't know where it's going to come from.

Any danger the ball might bounce our way? Better last 5-7 minutes. Hawthorn do take the nab cup more seriously than any other side but our lack of direction in the first part was woeful. Still unsure on bate, no right foot and isn't great in close. Clark looks good just need to get it to him one on one. Thought chip did well on buddy. Sad to see Bruce struggling so much.

Magners loss? Bigger than jurrah

Not even in the same league.

Jurrah a proven AFL gun who kicks bags, Magner a 24 year old yet to play a real match.

I hope he is alright, because he is good and can help us with his size and inside skills, but how quickly we forget what Jurrah can do.

yeah that confused me at one point i thought he said Clark should have and let Watts go into the open goal. Thought they did it well but it just bounced the other way.

Huge one would think. Not as big though.

As Jaded has said, we have no class in the middle, all we can rely on is the contested grunt work. Now one of the main planks in that plan has gone off with a compound fracture to his finger.

    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.
