That's the ticket! Declare victory for the next round only hours a sour defeat! 

Gotta love Dees supporters! 

What I can promise is, unlike a recent Demonlander, I won't declare I'm through should we lose. Au contraire, I take a step closer to total delusion.

Pittard has such a weird looking face, very irrelevant I know

Not irrelevant at all. Ugliness needs to be rooted out, not just in football but society as a whole.

Haha! Don't get me wrong RTG, I like it. 

 

I think we should all clear the mind - forget individual performance, teams beaten/conceded to or Coodabeens - and take a look at the ladder. 

If someone showed it to you at Christmas time, how would you feel? 

I'd feel okay; it looks about right (bar the Freo car-crash). 

This isn't hippy s**t, it's perspective. It feels crappy right now, but take a step back and think about how we're not jumping off jetties for Bailey anymore.

We're gonna be alright. Right?

Geelong giving GC a bath, lets hope they're stuffed come next week...

Don't worry, we're the #1 team in the league for getting out of form teams back into form, we'll get the bath at Metricon.

They've got some key injuries, but their depth is poor at the minute.  No one else stepping up.

Losing your first choice key defenders and coming up against an inform Hogan and Watts will be fun for them.

Think both Essendon and today proved that just because we're playing a team without a backline doesn't guarantee us a win. Yeah, Gold Coast look like garbage but so did the Saints last week.

5 seconds remaining in the third quarter with Port's midfield streaming forward, and Toumpas takes possession running out of the centre. He has a clear opportunity to put boot to ball and slam it so far forward the Tigers can't score before 3QT.

So he handballs backwards instead. :wacko:

That's his Melbourne training at work :D

Richmond are dismal. That's always good.

But Deledio said they have a list which can win a premiership!

Makes Viney's talk about finals seem pretty conservative, really.

That's true. Just not in the AFL.

If this is what the Richmond seniors are putting up, I'd hate to think what their seconds are doing! 

Maybe Richmond should cut their losses and switch the teams, so they can at least win a couple of VFL games this year. :ph34r:

100 point flogging for Gold Coast coming up. Is it just me, or have they been on 39 points for over a quarter now? I'm only going off the score graphic bottom right of the Richmond v Port game, but Gold Coast's score hasn't changed for ages!

I think we are on the verge of 9th on the ladder if Geelong win by another goal or 2!

Heh.  It'd be ironic if we stayed in 10th after winning two weeks in a row, then finally move up a spot the week we lose.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    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.
