Sloppy footy but at least we're leading. Our disposal still worries me as does these players input.

Davey 6 - Looks lost, some shocker handballs

Magner 7 - Reminds me of an old Jones, butchers it, looks tired.

Trengove 8 - Need more from him, slow.

Moloney 9 - No influence, need more from our no.1 mid.

Not good enough.

Very pleased with Tom McDonald today.

Geez, we've got some, a lot, of improving to do in all areas, but our kicking skills and decision making really need a lot of work, real happy to be beating this orange band of krisnas

Am i alone in thinking Daveys done ok. A few times he just needed to go himself rather than a silly handball ( that are invariably to slick for receiver) otherwise his vision and setups have been very good

No, you're not alone in that thought at all... he has done a few good things today. What we see on this forum is generally a Pavlovian form of conditioned response to anything players like Davey, Morton, MacDonald, etc do.

Don't know how you can say this about Davey. He's been very quiet. He can still hit up a pass which is good but just can't get into the pace of the game. You can't see that?

I hope we play Sellar on Merrett next week, and even let him spend some time on Brown. He keeps solidifying his place down back and i can imagine taking a big scalp will make him get even better (confidence player).

I have actually seen him give off the ball a few times to good effect (a couple of times not so)... maybe we are both missing something?

Tom McDonald's kicking is a liability. Guy competes his butt off, but he butchers simple kicks far too frequently

Yeah, at this stage. But he's only 19 or so, and this will get better. Loving his push 'n shove attitude aggresive with Patton.

    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.
