Who gets you excited?

Who or what are we most looking foward to next year?

I cant wait for Viney and Dawes and all our new recruits to show there skills I think we will be improvers for sure. But there are 2 players I will keep a very close eye on...

Watts - This could be his year, as a floating half back or attacking wing man I really hope he can explode and turn games on his own.

Gawn - Can the big fella break into the seniors and claim the No. 1 ruck role for good?

Jordie Mac - With a full preseason, and players like Viney, Rodan and Trengove in there, I suspect he will have a good year

Howe - Take things to the next level, and when I say that, not vertically :) but being an important cog in the midfield, and a goal kicking mid.

Dawes - I think he is capable of improving as significantly as Clark did in his first year.

Viney and Toumpas will be exciting to watch, but trying to keep excitement in check for these guys.

Strauss and Terlich are two that I also will be very interested to see how they go.... I get a feeling that these two could slot in on the half back/back pocket, with Watts, Garland, Frawley and Tom Mac making up the back 6. Gives a good amount of height, and rebound, and some good footskills as well.

Finally would love to see if Jones has another gear as well, or whether it is going to be a case of needing a better team around him before he gets mentioned as a potential AA type of player... loved what I saw from him last year.

Ok I think I am done now! :)

.........................................................

The new season, the start of a new era, going to games full of confidence, singing the song until I'm hoarse. I could go on, but I'm sure you get my drift.

I will be wrapt if CLark can get back to fitness and play a good season.

Looking fwd to see Neeld's competitive new recruits attack the game.

Want to see us playing like a team. With good comraderie, commitment and high expectations. Healthy competition for spots with reward for effort.

I really keen to see what Dawes can do and I'm hoping that this year will be a huge one for Jack Watts.

However, my big hope and maybe a surprise for some, is Jake Spencer. Has improved out of site and is very determined.

Agree on Spencer's improvement BBO.

Viney and Toumpas have me excited. Looking forward to seeing the midfield function in a positive sense and the delivery up forward so Dawes, Clark can clunk a few.

Im excited and looking forwrad to seeing the likes of Barry, and Kent, even Rodan i believe will give us some xcitement.

But i still cant go past Jimmy Toumpas , as a quick goal kicking winger half forward with sublime skills.

Oh...and Viney of course.

I am with Oucher on his views however Howe and Watts are the two who will rise!

Supposing we do see improvement overall, I want to see Watts emerge as a gamebreaker. More than anyone else, he's been the target of the sneerers; and so, for us to begin to really command respect, I think that Watts' performances just about have to demand respect first. Unfair, but he's been front and centre since we drafted him. I suspect he'll either be at the centre of our rise or he'll just drift out the side; but if he takes off, we shake off all the crap we've taken in the past so-many years...

Against GWS at the MCG, Watts fending off to gather on the wing and taking a couple of bounces before the perfect cross to Trengove at centre-half-forward, who marked over Scully before goaling - that was a pointed statement about being number one draft pick if ever I saw one, and it got me very excited. I think he's ready for a break-out, and goodness knows he's got the skills if he can impose himself on the game week after week. I want more of this - rub all their faces in it, Jack! It would silence the critics and vindicate the club better than just about anything - providing of course that we are seen to have begun our push up the ladder.

    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.
