This will be interesting. He gets a chance to play for his career. Anything could happen.

I'll be really happy if he snags himself a position.

Cindarella story if we get to finals with JT picked.

Great! I really like Jack as a person and club man and desperately want him to succeed given his absolutely rotten luck with injuries. Anyway my hope is he takes the handful of games left this year to remake his career  and doesn't leave himself and us wondering.

Finally what a combeack. Will be very curious to see what role he plays, guessing across halfback.

Does anyone know the last time he played?

May be a role in the short term across half back. Great news for Jack. He is a seriously good bloke and still has a truckload of talent.  

Agree this is his last chance though.  The club has him on the delist category and so he needs to show his talent this week.

Starting on the bench. Great to see him finally make it into the team! Best of luck Jack!

Unfortunately I can't be there, but I look forward to the replay and hearing the roar when he comes onto the ground.  Hope he lifts the whole team too.

And Cinderella will by forgotten if he gets into our winning GF team!!

 

PS I hadn't realised that he is still only 25.  IF this works out it could be a massive bonus, especially with Bernie and Lewis being in their twilight.

I have been questioning the worth of our veterans lately but the season is yet to play out.

in football terms,if JTs body "gets right" ,he is effeectively 23 in terms of games played and we know he can find the ball.

Hopefully it will prove to be a masterstroke from the List Management people - keeping a talented, footy-smart, hardened warrior on the list to plug a gap when the need arises.

Like all on Demonland, hoping/praying his selection is justified come siren time.

No idea but I remember Goodwin saying on his awards night that ‘failure is no match for perseverance’ and it made me think of Jack T and his unrelenting battle against injury. Google solved it from there.

Except I thought we needed to plug some gaps in the previous 3 or 4 weeks with some hardened warriors like Trenners. In the week we get Viney, Watts and Salem back for the loss of Vince and Kent we suddenly get Trenners after all this time. 

Another selection decision by our people that we don't quite understand.

Agree - puzzling decision in some ways.

But, as mentioned in a related thread, possibly designed to give him a chance when our better performers are in rather than when our playing stocks were very  threadbare.

Fingers/toes crossed that it all goes well.

    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

    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.
