Just when you think the enjoyment of the game is moving forward the umpires step in and put a halt on it. [censored] insipid how that did not pay holding the ball. [censored] need to wake up to t

That's what happens when selectors choose O Mac over Dunn

He didn't even play that game. Even if he did, blaming one person for losing the game is incredibly harsh, especially considering most of team played shithouse.

James Aish reminds me of Toumpas, a wishy washy footballer. I'm declaring him a dud. Which also reminds me, Toumpas was truly woeful Saturday night. Made Selwood look like Jason Dunstall at one stage.

LOL

Even Essendon's social media team are in denial!

Parish was very average when the heat was on, albeit for a nanosecond. The match has been a yawnfest.

Exactly right. We will need a 10 game winning streak at least to make up for it. Lotta teams play them twice...

A 10 game winning streak, at least, to make up for one loss? I don't think so. The Essendon game was one we should have won but didn't. We can make up for it by winning a game we're not expected to. We very nearly did that against North, but we have plenty more opportunities before the year is out.

The Percentage other teams will accumulate against this rabble is scary. Not to mention 8 points

we got nothing. It will hurt us. I agree it may have been the spark. But the mathematics will hurt us deeply in an even season..

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    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.
