Around the League Round Five


Maple Demon

Recommended Posts

Port came with a bit of heat and fight at the very start of the game which I think actually sparked Geelong even more at quarter time - it's backfired big time as the Cats have stepped up and closed them down while creating run and overlap themselves.

Take note MFC - hit em hard and they crumble.

Oh Ok so maybe Deestroy all, you should refrain from posting coz many on this site might get tired of you constantly taking me to task!??

Ad Nauseam! Eh?

If you didn't blast people for discussing Toumpas, like the annoying hypocrite that you are, I wouldn't have responded to you at all. 

But I agree it must be tiresome for some and I can't help myself sometimes.

I don't personally consider calling other posters soft for having sympathy for a former player struggling at his new club a " Spirited discussion "

the word i'd use is  " Weak"

Weak? Interesting! "Sympathy" , such awasted emotion, "Empathy" is much more appropriate! 

Weak Hnmm I wonder how many players would feel Sympathy for an opponent who is not up to it??

How many Hawthorn players would feel it??

Interesting, Sympathy ! Hnmm

Makes you think Walsh may have been the main man in Ports' early success.

Richardson then Walsh were strong 2ic's 'chook', the spotlight certainly now come on to Hinkley and to a lesser extent Voss.

I'd suggest most people wouldn't have ill feelings for Toump for no reason, and most would wish him well.

but don't let that stop your pointless personal vendetta picket.

To move on from the above waste of space...

I love seeing North and the Dogs in first and second on the ladder (not a huge North fan but it's a different face at the top, which is a positive IMO).

But it's Sydney, Geelong and Hawthorn at 3, 4 and 5.

The AFL needs those three clubs to fall apart. Hawthorn has already had to play the Dogs, Geelong, West Coast and Adelaide, hasn't had Roughead all year, hasn't even played that well, and has a 4-1 record. That sickens me.

Bloody good footy team with an absolutely relentless approach to winning!

Wish we could get some of it!

Please, you have not said a nice thing about the kid, even before he was drafted it had already started and now you're calling posters soft for saying they feel for him when he's having a bad game. 

Not sure what facts you think you're pointing out..

If we beat the Tigers tomorrow, who is under the most pressure?  Hardwick, Buckley or Hinkley?

Although Collingwood haven't played yet I still think Buckley. If Collingwood lose, Buckley will be the first coach to be sacked this season.

    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.

    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.

    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.
