NAB CUP 3: ST. KILDA

Maybe they are a better side. No that couldn't be it.

Just saying that because we had talked up about how we would cope with the heat last week due to the Darwin trip.

Seemed a bit far fetched to me to be saying that after spending a week there.

Actually, no. Clearances are quite close at this point. Jamar's dominance has to be a part of that. Wonder if the Jamar and McKenzie threads will get a run this week.

Any stats? Last I saw we were easily winning the hitouts but getting killed in clearances.

That's how Sydney beat Hawthorn.

So it can work, not saying that is our main goal but its good to have a good half back that wins the ball back

Yeah, not saying that's all bad, but I desperately want us to be better at the clearances this year.

Final siren: St Kilda 2.10.13 (91) d Melb 2.7.6 (66)

25 to 15 scoring shots is a big worry, especially seeing we seemed to be doing well for inside 50s. Hopefully Dawes and Clark can help that, cos Sellar isn't reliable and Pedo seems like an absolute spud from what I've seen SO FAR.

It's NAB Cup. Doesn't bother me if we win or not, tho wins are nice. Ask last years Grand Finalists about their NAB wins... What I want to see is improvements in our key lacking areas from last year, as that is what will lead us to wins when the real stuff starts.

We lack in every key area.

Give us some midfielders god Please.

25 point win to Saints...no disgrace in that as they were coming home with a strong breeze and could have been expected to blow us away.

Me too, but we lost Maloney and Viney isn't playing, I don't know enough about the mature aged guys and if they a decent at clearances, Magner playing?

Not the point...we didn't let them run away with it in the last, when in seasons gone by we would have capitulated and lost by a LOT more.

    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

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    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
