Round 16 - Non MFC Games

I have to say, on this form, (deep breath) it would be an abomination if we lost to North Melbourne in a few weeks.

They are miles off the pace. 18 geriatrics in wheelchairs would provide a better display of skills.

Watching tonight, it's painfully clear to me that the conditions probably cost us the game last week. Essendon are absolute faeces.

The conditions, as predicted, kept it close and tight and gave them a sniff. It also buggered our accuracy.

But we let them shagg us in the third quarter. That's where fairdinkum footy is won. Edited by america de cali

Won a little bit of North tonight but will not be betting on them again all year. They are a mess, if they fall into the 8 hopefully they are bundled straight back out along with Richmond.

Tipped them by 28 pts. So close!

I can't remember a season with such an even spread but so few genuine challengers. No-one looks remotely likely outside of the top four and even then . . .

It's funny how every season the commentators bang on about how "even" the competition is, yet the results paint a different story. For me, the league is clearly divided into 3 categories: premiership contenders (1-4), wildly overestimate themselves (5-12), and no chance in hell (13-18).

Not to mention that the conditions were the same for both teams; ergo, not an excuse.

Nice, I only go head to head.

I tried getting smart once by tipping qtr by qtr leaders to increase the odds. Suns lead at qtr time, Hawks went on to win by over 100.

Now I just keep it simple. Small amounts still add up.

Multis are a good way to make fast money. Just combine 4 or 5 "sure things," as you said.

...not that I'm a gambling addict, or anything... ;)

    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
