GAME DAY

Recommended Posts

Hope we learned something from the Blues yesterday and don't go around the boundary trying to limit the damage all day. I mean it's not like we're going to miss the finals by percentage...

Agreed, no harm in letting the players run loose today and try to play offensively. Players should be feeling the freedom to take the game on, especially when finals are out of the equation and we're just playing for pride.

Carlton are an excellent example of a rejuvenated team enjoying their football when all the complexity gets stripped away.

We'll get more confidence out of losing by 10 goals but attacking and enjoying our footy than losing by 10 goals going around the boundary all day and only kicking 4 ourselves.

80+ points, loss coming up.

We will be physically monstered early, and wont recover.

If we take the game on, we might score 6 goals all day. Any side relying on Spencer and Concrete hands Dawes as key forwards, wont bother any AFL side.

I keep having Flashbacks

"The Horror...The Horror..."

I've done a number of deployments to Afghan/Iraq and a number of other lovely places and don't have PTSD at all attributed to that.

My PTSD is attributed to being an MFC supporter.

Better get some of that "good stuff" that used to around in the 70's SWYL - guaranteed to ease the pain.

yep. Shovel it in Hunter S Thompson style BBO. It's the only way to cope with this yearly hell hole fixture...

For anyone that cares Terry Wallace did a list comparison on who is more closer to a flag out of us and Saints and huge upside by 2018 and plough picked us.

Was actually a good assessment by Wallace who actually has a soft spot for us ([censored] down Damo Barrett when he questioned the Tyson trade?

Is that the same "list manager" that picked Tambling ahead of Buddy?

First time poster, long time reader, massive Dees fan!

Awkward introductions aside, today I am looking for continued development in our younger blokes. I don't expect to win but I expect us to be competitive in the contest. I am excited about seeing Gawn as a stay at home forward and I would love to see Watts & Toumpas continue what I believe has been a very promising fortnight of footy. Without knowing or seeing much of Neal-Bullen at all, I am really interested in seeing how he adjusts to the pace of AFL footy after last weeks introduction.

A hard, spirited contest today will confirm my belief that we are heading in the right direction. Bail the sub for me.

Yep let's see how Watts, Toumpas, Howe, Dawes etc fare with the teams hopes on their shoulders. With several players out they need to continue their recent form to keep us in the game today. If they drop off against better opposition with the expectation on them to lead then their last month of footy will be worthless (Toumpas aside)

I wont be watching today.

Decided i would head out with the Mrs and actually enjoy my Sunday.

With the injuries, form and all round fitness/attitude of this team, id be suprised it we even get within 10 goals.

LOL, you'd be the only person in the world to think an afternoon at ikea was better than anything

On the way down now. I was at 186, can't see it being that bad. We just have to make it an arm wrestle. If we can restrict them to 10 goals, we're a slim chance. They'll have too much class for us though. Gotta hurt Selwood early.

Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes

    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
