What do you want from the MFC 2013?

Well my two bobs worth is - 36th year as a paid up member in 2013. I want tangible improvement.

I want to go to games and watch a team who look like they belong at AFL level NOT 2012 where they have looked and played like VFL.

I want the MFC to work over the summer like never before to recruit aggressively to top up a poor list.

I want our fitness to be equal to the top clubs.

Please MFC it is time...to lift the bar!

Well, actually it starts in the trading and draft period. I want us to be aggressive in moving on players who are not going to take us forward. I want us to recruit players that have an elite work-ethic, who will be ready to play a role in the seniors season 1.

Beyond that, I just hope we have better luck on the injury front. Our injury situation has been diabolical in the last 5 years. We need everyone up and running at the start of preseason to give us the best chance of improving next season.

I'm hoping that the players will have adjusted to the increased training workload so they're not playing 'tired' as it seems they are now.

I think the players are going to have a bigger emphasis on 'team structure' and 'tactics' this pre-season, so hopefully we will look a lot more organized than what we have this year.

'4 quarter efforts' as opposed to the 2 and a half max. we've been getting for the majority of this season.

AA type seasons from Clark, Sylvia, Frawley, Jamar, Jones, Garland and Grimes. Big improvement and 22 games for the likes of Trengove, Watts, Howe, Bail, Blease, Gysberts, Tapscott and Strauss.

Not asking for much really ;)

Simple, we need to be Competitive. We have heard the word from Bailey and it has been passed onto Neeld and no mater how many times they said it the bottom line is we are not competitive for long enough. I'm tired of going to games that are over by Half time. We all accept that we will lose games, but to walk away disappointed with our teams inability to compete from quarter to quarter for 6 years is soul destroying.

The ability of the club to win back the respect of the AFL, opposition clubs, media commentators and the football public. I'm sick of being the butt of people's jokes at school! SICK OF IT! When the hell is this club ever gonna man up!

Where do I start?

No losses over 30 points.

To go in every game knowing we have a chance.

Consistency in performance no matter where we play (MCG, Docklands, Subiaco, AAMI etc).

A midfield that works - HARD.

Improved fitness and strength.

Trengove & Watts to shut up the knockers.

Jurrah to stand next to Clark and light up the forward line again.

To beat Carlton & Essendon.

Minimal injuries especially to key players.

Marked improvement from Strauss, Gysberts, Tapscott.

Cook to prove to me that he actually exists.

Finals.

How bout a win over Geelong at Kardinia Park (or whatever cheap, corporate name they'll give it next year)?

How about a game against the Cats at the G?

Knowledge that the team will be out there to compete as hard as it can most weeks you go to the footy. Improved skill and fitness.

    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

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. 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. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
