Post Match Masochism - Round 21


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Our players are just dumb footballers! It's a simple game footy. Skill level is vfl level. At best! I've said all year we don't play with any skill. Everything is a hack attempt to win.

Well our VFL team lost today and it was 90% mfc players...

I thought Michie tried his guts out today. I saw numerous of times sprinting hard to chase a opponent while others jogged.

His kicking skills are top notch. He won't make it as a footballer for that.

Is that a typo? Would have thought it is exactly what is needed. He also has very fast hands. His hand balling is very good. I think he is still a bit over awed as a newby. A very quiet bloke that takes a bit to come out of his shell.

do you really think i cut up my membership just because the home games are over or because im sick of putting up with years upon years of failure?. also quit with trying to seperate "fans" from "supporters" theres people out there that would love to spend money supporting this club but cant afford it. I myself nearly had to pull the plug last year due to financial difficulties does that mean i would love the club any less? I know a lot of "fans" i'd take to the trenches before i took a "supporter" like you

If you cannot afford a membership Salems, that is totally different, and I apologise for that. If not, however, don't cut it up at the end of the year and throw in the dramatic (and thoroughly inappropriate) war trenches analogy to prop yourself up. Again, you are a drama queen. If you are sick of years of failure, join the gang, we all are.

I have invested a great deal of time, money and passion to this club over the journey of almost 50 years.

If I decide that I've got nothing left to give without receiving some effort in return I will do so.

If that means someone refers to me as a fan, not a supporter it says more about them than it does me.

The lows have just become to much, and I can't devote as much of myself as I have to something that is supposed to be a pleasurable diversion from the harshness of everyday life.

I just wish I hadn't inflicted this onto my children who have really only known the festering sore this club has become.

I will always remember the late 80's with great fondness

No its tongue in cheek....

He can actually kick. Doesn't fit team policy.

Am donating my MFC membership money to charity next year. Thankyou. Good bye.

Mully don't go just yet. Are you Maynard G Crabbs or Gilligan? Can you confirm before you go?

Can't believe the Hun gave Kent our best player. His disposal was disgusting.

Yet oddly enough Kent is a good kick, especially for goal, although he should have handballed off on the one where he hit the post. His efficiency was poor today but is that because he is trying to set something up as opposed to others running at 70% who do nothing but chip it around? Not sure just asking but to me Kent had plenty of upside in a better team that drives the ball quickly into the forward line. And that is not us by miles.

Issue is players dont work hard enough offensivly whicheaves the ball carrier under pressure with no easy targets. That results in our bad disposal. Simple lack of players wanting other players to do the work offensively

How many times did I see a Melbourne player mark the ball today, stop then kick it over the mark? That style of play died at the start of the 60's/end of the 50's! It seems as if they want to take a breather whenever they get a mark.

The only thing missing was the walk back, the steadier....then a torp!

Kent was terrible today, not just for his disposal.

He has a bit of the Bleases about him. Willing to run when there's a chance he can kick a goal, but when we're defending or when the hard work needs doing, goes missing.

I like that he wants to kick goals and he has scoring ability, but there is more to football than being a showpony and Kent needs to learn that.

Not sure the average amongst AFL players but he had 8 goals 6 points prior to today's game... He's not great and he puts the blinkers on from 65 out.

He needs to improve that area.

Yes anus and ... I think it was early in the third quarter that he went very soft at a contest.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    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
