GAME DAY - Round 11



Recommended Posts

Cross has been super impressive in the air all year.

Great guy for Toumpas to learn from.

I'm busy today so I can't watch the game and have been checking in on the afl.com.au match centre commentary. I'm extremely confused by this update:

  • Q1 17:40

    A swing and a miss for Dawes as Lobbe annoys him to the point of frustration. If there was any connection there Dawes would be on a long enforced holiday.

Do we have another Dawes? Or does Port have a player also named Dawes punching on with his own teammate? Or is it breaking out in the stands? WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?

It was Jamar

That "punch" was from Jamar.

The heat from the sun and the Power's run could make for a very, very ugly last quarter.

Umpiring is absolutely PATHETIC. JKH being manhandled and held all over the place, not getting any free kicks despite being impossible for him to mark anything.

[censored] joke umps.

Agreed.

That 25 metre pass that the umpire called "play-on" for not being long enough (before the ball was even marked) and the inconsistency of the hands in the back have been a disgrace.

And are Port the league leaders in staging? Monfries is the Laurence Olivier of theatrics, and that Viney "swing" barely touched the Port player, yet he grabbed his chest as if he'd been punched square in the gut.

Flogs.

Cross and Dunn were good down back.

Kennedy Harris is one of those rare players - where he just looks dangerous everytime it comes near him.

I watch Kennedy Harris and expect him to win every contest, it is the sign of a great player.

Salem a good start with 5 kicks for the quarter.

Good to see Jamar throwing his weight around.

Grimes needs to chase with more intensity, he jogged after a kick in and lost it, he jogged after his player then realised he was going to go for goal so started to chase all too late, very little tackling and damn too slow to move the ball. wasted opportunities. Having said that some positives gawns goal, pederson has been good. Hopefully they will settle down now and play better football than the first half of that quarter.

Dunn is saving our backside, Watts looks good on the open ground and I wouldn't be banging on about Jetta on Wingard yet. Chad can get goals very quickly.

I'm so sick of umpires missing clear free kicks in general pay then paying RIDICULOUS holding the ball's at random intervals (ALWAYS against us too).

Port deserve to be winning but I think 20 point lead flatters them. We have played pretty well after the early avalanche.

JKH is all class.

    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.
