I think we're missing a good chunk of players from the 2006-2011 era that were expected to be among the club centurions by now.

For example, the likes of Bate, Petterd and maybe even Cook are three players that come to mind that just might have featured in the 100+ goal category club if Neeld hadn't been appointed coach. 

I'm all for a good Neeld bagging, but gee it's stiff to blame him for Cook.

    Given the kid never played.. Hardly his fault.

    I understand the desire for a big KPF a la Neiter to kick a bag every week, but I'm less fussed at the monent given our average scores for the year - we're doing pretty well offensively (120, 86, 97, 75, 112, 91). Average 83 points a game, 3 of which without Hoges who is scoring ~ 3 per game. Not far off...

    I'm not nessasarily saying we need another key fwd. Just more forwards/players who can kick goals! Another Garlett or Kent or Watts?

    Aside from the calls for a Bruest or Gunston. What about a delisted player? Lindsay Thomas is currently drawing the ire of Kanga fans for suspension and form and might be delisted at the end of the year. If he was free, why not? He's kicked 322 goals in 200 games. He's currently 29 and maybe has another year or two.

    I'm glad demonland doesn't have a downvote button after this comment although the Moderators could ban me. :)

    Garlett now needs 5 goals to bring up 100 at melbourne in and from 50 Games for Melbourne.

    Lets hope he does on QB.

    And with rumours flying around Hogan may be back QB (and only needs 4 to kick his 100th) Let's hope both of these milestones happens and we make it 5 in a row against those flogs from Victoria Park!

    The fact that 100 career goals is mythical to Demons fans shows how woeful the cub has been as far as individual accomplishments and career goal tallies.

    We have been around over 100 years, yet in five or so years from now both of the new clubs, GWS and GOld Coast, will each have a player (Cameron and Lynch) that will eclipse our leading goalkicker (Neitz).

    But its not just goals we are terrible at - Nathan Jones average of 28.05 disposals in 2016 was the highest season average in MFC history.  Jack Vineys 26.1 in 2016 was the 4th highest in MFC history.

    These are embarasingly low numbers for club records.

    Why do we suck so badly statistically?

    Not sure. I bet Fred Fanning knows the reason.

    With Hogan & Garlett back in the side. Wouldn't it be nice if they both bought up the 100 this week against The Blues!

    Also noticed Pertracca now has more Goals than games and also has 10 more McCartin with a year less in the game!

    Bringing up his 100th goal in his 50th game has some symmetry to it

    Hogan now has 105 from 50 games. Better than 2 a game!

     

    If he stays a Demon for his whole career,  Neitz's goals record will be challenged.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
