This Package deserves discussion. This is such an incredible effort by our 2IC

Jack was brutal and focused for 4 Quarters. It is relentless. AFL Players play like this for a Quarter and get praised and rightly so. 
Jack did it all night, even in the last Quarter 

This is one of the greatest efforts from 1 player in the History of the MFC

I am so proud of him

Thanks for this Edit Mighty 

Keep it in perspective please.

I love Jack as well but one of the greatest efforts ????

Lets not demean past champions.

I've seen Gary Hardeman, Big Carl, Ray Biffin, Laurie Fowler & others all bleed for the club & lead from the front.

I’ve seen all those Players too. 
But Jack took it too another level. 
All the players you mentioned have never trained to the level of todays players, and i mean no disrespect to them. It’s a different game now. 
Viney’s intensity did not drop off. Players from the 70’s were not able to do that

Strange lot you have put up as a comparison. All of them except GH laid coathangers on their opponents. I guess back then that's how they lead from the front.

Yes quite.

A better person would not tag @demon3165and remind him of his heresy and urge recantation and I am not that better person…

Well it seems your not a bright person, if you can read I said he played a different game in the finals last year than during the year and he played well for it, you can thank me for helping him, instead of trying to take everyone on he played like Clarry early years get ball give it off to someone on the run so he was a different footballer and is better off for it, but thanks for the attempt at a cheap shot.

Just extraordinary. He was still doing it all in the last quarter 

that’s what i would show to new recruits…

”This is what Captain’s do”

Maybe show Jacko and Angus the footage and tell them they could be up against this if they leave 😱

Hardly cheap, I am offering redemption for you soul; a chance to recant and say you were wrong about someone so important to your club…

DJR as well you remember there was the small matters  of punching, elbowing and flattening as well. We know they were condoned with regularity, and yes it was led from the front by every side. Things change and so did the rules. Unless I'm wrong I thought Hardeman got reported too

I loved his game but that highlights package doesn’t do it justice. 
 

His influence isn’t portrayed as overly clean and meaningful to the untrained eye. 
His brute strength and will to win the ball and move it forward was pretty bloody impressive. ❤️💙💪

The Captain just set the Agenda for the Run Home

People often credit Max's leadership with our flag, but it's pretty clear to me that between them, Jack and Max make a pretty dynamic duo.  I think Jack deserves to be captain in his own right again some day and think he'd do a great job of it too.

Thursday’s game did his chances no harm

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    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

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 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.
