You mean Charlie Dixon is a spud who could enter the Kent Kingsley hall of fame and score 5 goals against the Dees?

Fair call I guess altho I would hope the Dees of 2017 are better than the teams of the last decade...

He got 5 against first time round last year, although he's having a significantly better year this season (overall). Let's hope it's like the round 21 game last year where he barely gets near it and goes goalless.

Can anyone tell me why there are only 3 FTA games this weekend?  Meaning I have to watch the dees game on my phone at work because I can't get the business case for Foxtel to stack up.

Trying to find a sports bar in Krabi Town to watch the game, not on Australian tv network so finding it is very difficult

Are Watts and Tyson out?....i thought i heard something on the radio...had a feeling it was all too good to be true.

Can't comment on Tyson, but after the interview I read on Watts, he thinks his hammy feels great and even Max Gawn brought back "Gawn in 60s" to interview him.

Few people jumping at shadows here thinking players named won't play, when has goody ever played games like this if he says they are playing then they are playing, they would have been ruled out yesterday 

Yes. I agree, I just thought I heard something on SEN about a test on Friday afternoon. ...but carry on.

Agree Goodwin is a straight shooter- seems to be very honest and open about team selection

Tomorrow's conundrum:

Working till 4 or 5pm. To follow the scores at work/commute/feeding the kids then watch recording? 

Or, avoid Demonland, AFL app, radio and all social media and then not watch the game until 8pm when the kids are asleep?

You should be safe to read Demonland up till about the last couple of minutes.

Nobody EVER puts scores on the game day thread.... Just a stream of single word posts like "BALL", .or "WATTS!"...

If anyone elaborates its usually a post like "We are gone" or stuff like that. (And even those have often been wrong this year lol)

:P

You probably did... Garlett was given a test/session today.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    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. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    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.
