MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 21


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Lumumba, Stretch, Newton, Neal-Bullen, Harmes, MIchie and a very tired Brayshaw = too many players who don't get enough football. That leaves a huge amount for Jones, Vince and Viney to do.

Was 5th highest last week with 20 disposals the top was 29 and 2nd highest was 24, 4th highest clearances, 5th I %0 and 3rd rebound I50, most Goal Assists and should have been more but for missed goals. All from the second lowest time on the ground. Does not warrrant being lumped in with the others and a very tired Brayshaw.

Sunday has the Essendon game written all over it

  • Away game at the G
  • Opposition coming off a horror performance
  • We'll come in cocky and arrogant despite putting in a shocker as well
  • Opposition will fluke a 6 goal quarter while we bury our heads.
  • We'll play our token 1 good quarter of footy in the last qtr and lose by 6 points just to remind our fans that if we were switched on for more than 30 minutes we would've won easily.

Agree and just like daniher did, does anyone else fear Levi will suddenly find his kicking boot?

Newton hits the scoreboard and has way more footy smarts than Bail and Jones.

Happy to see him get another run at senior footy.

First time in his 15 games he's come close to doing anything though

I look at our side and question who is likely to put in a poor performance (due to age and/or ability) and I count way too many: Garland, Howe, Stretch, Lumumba, Michie, Dawes, Harmes, Grimes, ANB, Newton... not a lot of best and fairest votes for thst group this year. Could be another tough day I reckon.

Of course there are 8 blokes out injured, but there is every single week and nobody seems to care or even acknowledge it.

Just like Daniher did with the bombers against us.

U can just c it happening.

We bring out the best in oppo players who are out of form. It's like a special gift we have.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #10 Angus Brayshaw

    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.
