Mobile talls

Stef Martin. We need him in the team A.S.A.P. After watching Russian live last week I saw him Jog and stroll around and give us 0 leads and as has been discussed in Demonland 0 marks. I believe we could start Stef and my man crush Mitch forward with Russian in the ruck. Stef as more of a lead up forward with Mitch at full forward. Russian and Stef do the ruck work and that Leaves Mitch at Full Forward. If Russian would read the rule book which states ruckman have permission to kick the ball instead of turning his head and body all over the joint like the devil is in him he might be able to i don't know kick a couple through the big sticks and not handball it to anyone who then gets tackled.

The team needs mobile talls, like Darren Jolly at his best.

Was hoping given the chance to start over that you'd put more effort into your OP's DF!

.....or is this just an attempt to lure TGR over here?

That would be a start though Stef was struggling as much as anyone when he went AWOL. The Russian's gonna re-birth his old nickname if he doens't get on his bike.

Garland forward (Rivers to a lesser extent) at least shows this coach will think outside the box.

I agree - but this could also be due to a lack of "run and spread" - or a bit of both?

He doesn't even do the old long kick down the line I think his feet are painted on.

I have totally forgotten MJ could kick this well. Thanks for the memories - MJ should definately watch this.

I loved Robbo!

Na, just some Mark Jamar from this game:

Great video. Although what sort of idiot makes a highlight video of a loss....

Nev Jetta was excellent in this game. It's a shame injuries have made it even harder for his type to make it, I really like him.

Look how open the forward line was back then, wish we could clear it out like that for Mitch The Ultimate Mobile Tall Clark.

Other than DJ D_F, who else did you have in mind ? Lucas Cook ?

Whether or not Neeld is a fan of Martin or not, I'm not sure. He was injured so he maybe trying to meet a level of "compliance" (nuffies like this sort of talk), before Neeld gives him the green light. Other options are Seller, Fitzpatrick and of course Gawn. I'm not exactly on the edge of my seat. The 'key' is development with our talls.

If you're looking elsewhere we already have suggestions in past threads such as Patton where you'd have to sell the house.

Agree with HT...its about development.....theres already a bit of potential in the side. Needs honing

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    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.
