Get the same pay to play with your mates or move 2hours away from family and friends? Not sure the size of the crowds is a massive thing for a young player.

Or choose the club your dad played for, that you have barracked for all your life, that won a flag 3 years ago and has played finals since, instead of a club that has never played a final and struggled to win a game away.

Meanwhile, all of our finals at the G in recent years have been massive crowds (including clearly out numbering Geelong and Hawks in 2018).

Never seen more Dees fans at a game than this one. We must’ve had at least 60,000 at that game - such was the amount of red & blue in the stands.

Selling it short IMO. Closer to 70,000 would've been Melbourne - or 10,000 neutrals supporting us.

It was our first taste for a long time and boy we weren’t disappointed to bad we couldn’t have played Weagles at the G.

I’m not saying it makes sense.

Just saying the crowd size is not a thing for some.

I don’t the club sees his selection to play for us as a lay down misere. Nor should we.

I agree with this although I'm sure the club would know his decision by now. Pity the good stuff doesn't leak!

No.  Far stronger build even now.  

Indeed! and is NOTHING like Cale Morton, whom was nothing more than a tall mid, who's lack of speed, decision-making under any pressure and foot-skills somehow got glossed over by all and sundry!

I am now of FIRM belief KW is off to GC. Based purely on current state-of-play, and vibe! Despite feeling since he surfaced Jeff raised him right, it now just feels like another Mac Andrew and Ah-Mu face-slap!!!

 

Lord I hope I am wrong.. but Mac still hurts, only solace I take was that on draft night I felt like one of few whom felt Mac would be a genuine Unicorn that'd take comp by storm, although now that kind of just feels like even more of a slap. AFL have absolutely rooted us, bloody disgrace.

The Dees do have a ruck coach position available and from what I have seen Jeff Whites analysis looks pretty spot on. From a business point of view, being in Victoria would be beneficial as well. Then I suppose Khalani might like to come too.

Defended really well. Very much lock down. Most goals I saw were kicked when he was on the bench. Didn’t see him lose a one on one. The bad, a little lazy with disposal. Feels early second rounder.

Managed to catch the game. Was a lot of other Gold Coast academy players (4 others) featuring too. With the change to the points system I think they don’t fight us too hard.

White was good without starring. Lock down key defender who didn’t give up any contests. In a game where the teams are made with little time to decide any game plan, he did his job. 

Ah Mu, our non selectable NGA prospect, played up forward. Big unit who impacted contests well at ground level, but didn’t stick his marks.

Spot on to what I saw. I hope that if he stays back, he works on an intercept game as well.

    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.

    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

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.
