At the start of the year, i wouldn't have minded us going after him, but the way he has conducted himself (particularly in the second half) this year really shows how poor his attitude is. Keep away from him.

how would you behave idf the club has been a [censored] to its players & people such as MnM, yarran, hendo, stuffing them around & then spend a whole season tanking, & doing all it can to derail they're own season.

if you were up for contract & considering moving, then your club tanks the 3rd last game of the season, against the lowest club, so they can get the first pick, would you tell them you pizzing off...

If I was Hendo, I would have told them as well, so there's no chance i can do an ACL, in the remaining games, before getting a new contract elsewhere.

The poor bloke got traded from the Lions, in the Fev deal; without any real say for his hopes & desires, then gets sent to the price-fixers, who start to tank, & against his old club who were on the bottom, the tankers get devoured by the Lions.

i would be really pizza d off myself, & outa there.

I don't have an issue with him telling the club he wants out, in fact i think it's very honest of him and that he did the right thing there. What i don't like is how he has handled himself on the field for the majority of the season. Most of the time he has looked like he doesn't give a flying f@#k, which i think is a very poor attitude to have.

A lot like when Jack Riewoldt really sooks it up. Where does their sense on entitlement come from?

well i haven't been watching the footy, a couple of minutes here & there; so Ive missed the antics, but can you imagine a young fella who is taken in a draft, fly's interstate, serves years as understudy, to then be shipped out for a bigger name, ends up at a club who is torn & broken, then they start to shake things up, with board & admin infighting & change, then they get a high profile coach, then deliberately undermine him & his name over a couple of years, only to sack him mid season whilst list managing their way to the bottom of the ladder...

how should a player who growing up witnessed this stuff happen at his supported club, then see it happening to him in his chosen career, act? I'd say pretty disillusioned & upset.

others who only care about money, & their wages, may act better, taking all that in their stride.... someone who cares more about they're craft, may be very upset, & show it.

edit: I don't understand the entitlement angle.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    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.

    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.
