WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

Why did we not sign up all the assistants on three year contracts like the head coach? That seems a little strange.

Apparently Brown and Rawlings got 2 year contracts when Neeld came on board, and Royal got a three year contract from 2011 under Bailey.

That's the info I have heard.

LOL. Mate. Have you been attending nutbean's seminars on "how to have a successful marriage" again? (Sorry, nutbean!) I don't know too many women who would just move interstate at the behest of her husband without it being a two way decision. Honour and obey died out years ago.

I have many strengths - selecting suitable marriage partners is apparently not one of them.

Is it today that the AFL ratify or reject our assistance package?

Yes would think we will hear either late today or tomorrow on the outcome.

If correct rpfc that is the best news I have heard today.

We have a crap list but if we are to have a new coach it would be good for them to pick their assistants.

OD The coach will pick his assistants anyway :)

I wouldn't think the AFL will release wether we are getting a PP prior to the season finishing.

If we won a few games after it was announced there would be another round of outcry from the other clubs

They might not announce it but if they have made the decision, well as we know the AFL leeks like a sieve.

...couldn't care about the other clubs by the way.

even if we win a few games we have been a bottom 4 quality side for 7 years

The only winnable game I can see in the run home is the Bulldogs, so that's 3 for the season, that's a paltry return.

Round 19 not "winnable"?

If that's the Giants at Blacktown then I think they will start favourites, how can you win games if you can't get the ball inside 50, I was impressed with the Dogs yesterday as well, we will be very lucky to register again this season WJ.

im inclined to side with this. Only caveat is the drier the track the better our chances. Seemed like a couple of wheel fell of the wagon saturday, maybe they can get them back on.

I love how fickle we are. Put in some effort? We could win 5 more games. Have a poor day? We won't be a chance again!

may I put it to you its not us as such that are fickle.....more so say about 22 odd blokes !!!! :unsure:

our attitude remains pretty much the same depending on outcome ^_^

The same, or close enough to, 22 blokes plagued two teams in two weeks. Week 1 we play Ok, week two we pay poorly.

The difference isn't the players it's the supporters. We extrapolate form from 1 week to the next ten then change our extrapolation based on every data point.

When we played Ok against the dogs and swans people were talking about is winning 4 more games. We get beaten by the cats now we won't win another??

I see a different logic to this.

Same 22 >>> Different performance( effort ) >>>> different outcome>>>>>> different forecast

    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.

    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.
