Worst time to play Gold Coast next week...

Nah, they're being crushed.  No bouncing back from this, confidence will be sapped.  GC are ripe for the picking I reckon (aware this is the MFC we are talking about though of course)

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

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

Delelo or Deludedo?

To be honest, I haven't watched any of it. Just flicked over to it.

We are about to climb a spot on the ladder. Well earned after todays great effort.

Yeah a bit strange that we gain a spot after losing. But that's a positive. 

Port kick the first 2 goals of the last quarter. Now up by 33. 

Small crowd there tonight.  Official attendance at the MCG tonight is 27,07. Wow I know its a saturday night but geez the tigs fans have dropped off.

Prestia, Swallow, Rischitelli, O'Meara, Ablett is definitely not right, May suspended. That's a solid batch of missing midfielders.

Funny old competition.  GC's % was 121.1% before this.  Ours is still a very respectable 102%; and Hawthorn who are a game clear have a paltry % of 91.8%.  

It feels like we're the worst side on Earth during and immediately after a loss, but in reality we're well and truly amongst it among the middle grounders, with several of them looking like they may fall away - particularly GC.  Our season is still very well positioned really.  There are some clubs who are in real trouble now, and finally we're not bloody one of them.

Well, Prestia is still playing. He's had it 21 times.

Wow, had no idea, as of Thursday I thought he was dropped due to injury. Must have been incorrect.

He was doubtful, Gold Coast said earlier in the week he would miss with a shoulder, must have come good

Yeah, originally looked like he was missing, so I went and took him out of my Supercoach team for Viney and then they said he'd be playing yesterday. Didn't hurt me too much in the end though.

Judging by the scoreline, they judged... incorrectly. 114 point margin now.

wow, that's massive, been watching Richmond get hammered, it's been good :)

    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.
