Mate, sorry for the generalisation, but opposition supporters are a pack of dogs, that's why I'm stoked to have chosen the Demons, where our supporters are all class, cheese boards and Range Rovers.  There almost needs to be a thread on 'things opposition supporters have done to p!ss me off'.  I'm sure we'd all have a story or two like this, perhaps not one involving a family member though.

Wishing Dec a speedy recovery.

Can’t say I have ever had a run in with opposition supporters, Melbourne supporters on the other hand I have been told to be quiet and to sit down on a number of occasions in all parts of the members section, I have given up on seats now and just go to the standing room where I can actually cheer my team without getting told off

Headline:

Young tall KPF isn't a star in his 3rd year after no preseason.

 

Not a 100% what I was saying. I just don’t think he is upto it at this present time. I just think we need to start seeing more from him at Casey. I’m not expecting him to be dominating seniors.

Never had a serious run in but goodness me I've heard some nonsense from oppo supports in my time.

Trouble is, he’s consistently good at this level, but has consistently failed to have a real impact in the ones. 

Make or break year for sure.

Steady WJ injured too strong a word, if they get an itch these days it's rehab, would only say McKenna, AVB and to an extent Viney

You seem to have got this one wrong Saty. To your (short) list it would appear you can add TMac, Lewis, Harmes and Neal Bullen with Omac not clear

Do you really think this?

He is contracted till the end of 2019. Do you think the footy department will delist him if he doesnt 'make' it this year? 

I don't. I think he will see out his contract.

Yes, it was unfortunately.

Not really a question of being delisted. More for me as a paid up supporter thinking that if he doesn't improve this year than he may as well move on.

Hes been ok but I think we need much more from him and ok cant be tolerated anymore if we are serious about winning a flag.

Re: Sam Weideman, I've said it before, but it has nothing to do with the number of marks, kicks and goals he has, at any level, at this stage of his career. 

It has everything to do with his lack of intensity, physical presence and hunger for the contest. That is something you can't teach, and it is the reason that I doubt he will make it as an AFL footballer.

I'm sure Sam will see out his contract, and will probably even get a fifth year if he shows signs of improvement, but there is little doubt that we will be having the same conversation in 2020.

The funny thing after the Adelaide game last year (the one where we went there not the Darwin one), the people talking up Weid's chances were all about his intensity, pressure and hunger during that game, while the detractors talked down his score board impact and contested marking. 

I think it's always incredibly hard to judge a young tall on their impact at the lower level, from my observation at the lower level you don't have many key defenders that do much more than spoil - as opposed to AFL level where they also have to attack/zone. This means often if conditions are poor for marking (rain/wind etc.) they don't have the chance to show off there pressure acts, probably why a lot of them get a run in the ruck at times.

Good post.

From my observations of his games for Casey last year he was too easily pushed under the ball and he also failed to lead in a meaningful way.

This year will be important for him.

Interesting experiment with Darcy Moore moving to the backline.

Perhaps Weid could benefit from a few games down the back.

Sadly, it is probably correct. He does need to show intensity at every stage of a game in order to get those marks, handballs, kicks, goals, forward pressure opportunities and sheer MFC guts outcomes. Then, he would be valuable.

Darcy Moore might be a real prospect. What is his form?

    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.
