Round 15 - Non MFC Games


Seraph

Recommended Posts

They have been through such a terrible time and could not have been prepared to play that match. They looked exhausted both physically and emotionally and the emotion was raw and heart wrenching. You can forget sometimes that many of them are basically kids and they've suffered a huge loss. It was very difficult to see them out there at the end of the match, seemingly alone.

When they were walking off the ground Camporeale was trying to get around to them to offer a word, but they are a devastated group of young men. Hopefully tonight, as difficult as it was, was a healing moment in their grief. They have a long way to go.

GWS 6 goals up on Saints at half time!

That and yesterdays game, shows what a ridiculous result the Saints vs Ess was last week.

We didn't take Ess seriously enough.

Oh dear, Brownlow race turned on its head?

EDIT: Oh, wait, the 7 commentators already saying it's perfectly fine! Forearm straight to the face in a marking contest is perfectly acceptable under new MRP guidelines!

Another dodgy little Sam Mitchell snipe, this time to Fyfe. Knee straight into the thigh, almost identical to his run-in with Taylor Walker a few weeks back. Of course, that was "an accident."

How many times does the same "accident" have to happen before the MRP catches on?

Saints kick 4 in a row after being about 40 points down. Great young team that doesn't drop their heads and throw in the towel.

Like how we fought back yesterday?

Meanwhile St Kilda finished the game having kicked 6 goals, 3 of which came in a 3 minute burst (i.e. 3 goals in just short of an entire game), in perfect conditions, against a side who hadn't won for a month and cruelled with injuries.

Sounds a lot like Melbourne, actually, and I guarantee you if that had been us with that performance you'd have lamented our terrible skills and inability to score.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    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.
