Around the League Round 6


Maple Demon

Recommended Posts

Realistically, North only need another 6 wins to play finals. But I agree with the sentiment; they haven't really beaten anyone good and we nearly beat them when we were 'on'.

Gold Coast easily the biggest pretenders though, nowhere near it and we will certainly finish above them on the ladder.

Not so fast ADC

Shuey being tackled around the waste, throws his head and body back and receives a free. When the MRP review the games, the player should be penalised, I thought this was already the case but never seems to happen.

I don't, that will make them 3-3 with us.

It would also make Meth Coke 3-3 though, and we'd only be out of the 8th by percentage

I think West Coast will still be up there, they're hard to beat at home. If Collingwood improve we could be fighting them for a spot around the 8-10 mark. I'd prefer Collingwood lose as many as possible, like it or not, West Coast will finish in the top 8.

I was thinking further ahead than just the end of this round.

Yeah true that... Eagles are flogging them now anyway,

Ouch!  Big loosers are the AFL! 

4 of there so called 'power clubs' are in the bottom 6!

What's more can't see Ess, Pies, Blues or Tigers getting out of that 6. 

It gives me great joy to look down the ladder at them?

Only Adelaide and the Dogs.

I don't like North but give them credit, they're flying at the moment. They'll win their next three, too (St Kilda, Essendon, Carlton). It gets harder from there (Sydney (away), Richmond, Geelong, Hawthorn, Adelaide (away), West Coast (away)) and they end with three tough games (Hawthorn, Sydney, GWS) but they'll bank enough wins to make finals easily, top 4 almost certainly and possibly top 2, the way they're playing.

Collingwood's next two games are against Carlton and Brisbane. The Brisbane game is away but I think Collingwood will win both and be 4-4. Might push them up the ladder a bit.

The way they're playing, Carlton and Essendon won't win many more games for the year other than when they play themselves and Brisbane. They've both already lost to Gold Coast (though Essendon gets them again) and Carlton of course gets us, and we stink in those sorts of games. 

As for Richmond, I can't believe how poorly they're playing. Next two games are Hawthorn and Sydney - they traditionally play those sides well so we'll see what happens this year. Otherwise it will be 1-7 and a trip to Perth to play Fremantle who may well be winless at that point (GWS at home this week, Hawthorn in Tassie the week after).

    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.
