I know right?

So many impatient people. 

He’s connected to Collingwood by lineage. Having them make rumours up about him is just part of the territory. I’d be amazed if there was any truth to that at all.

They can have him for

stephenson

treloar 

taylor

and 2 first rounders

and if they send Hoffa to the orthodontist.

been a big fan from the start. Will be our key man up front for next decade. Roos toke him and Oliver for a reason.

Stop the presses! It took a Melbourne supporter to find Jimmy Hoffa. And there was a clue in his disappearance all along:

"Hoffa disappeared on July 30, 1975, from the parking lot of Red Fox restaurant."

His association with concrete contractors meant getting a burial for next to nicks.

Are you saying he's buried next to Dominick "Big Trin" Trinchera or Dominick "Sonny Black" Napolitano?

They can scan concrete these days so expect many underperforming mob lawyers will start re-surfacing.

Either way you've made me hungry.

How good was Weed when he took a long line of backward steps to mark near the boundary. Most players either turn around and mark it over their shoulder or trip/stumble getting back.

His backward motion was safe and steady and he judged the drop of the ball perfectly.

His marking skills such as judgement of the drop of the ball and timing for the leap are excellent and if left to develop over time his marking ability will become a weapon. He should also develop as a mobile ruckman who can do more than just negate. A candidate for the McCartney development school.

Its been a long time since we had a follower (as they were once called) with strong marking and rucking ability to cruise around the ground and influence contests. He is potentially too valuable to be just a forward.

Good contribution knuckle dragger. The ball definitely swings strongly and looks like he miskicked it. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t aiming at goals, but he definitely didn’t kick it sweetly

Knuckle dragger! Nice one. Did you spend the full hour before you replied coming up with that one?

Let's hope that bloke that said he's going to geelong at the end of the year was wrong because we've got a future star in our hands...

 

I think him and TMac can be the key pillars next season with jesse Hogan playing a Jarred Roughead type of role mixing between full forward, HFF and mid

He's holding his marks now but what impressed me most was that goal he kicked.

I think he miskicked that from the TV. Looked like one of those ones that curved late due to a miskick, could be wrong though

It looked better on TV than it did from behind the goals. Bit of a floater that seemed to dip at the goal at the last second. Great result for him though. He'll be ramming them through from 50 on a regular basis next year

The ball was swinging around at that end all day, drifting towards the south goal post. Weed took the mark and immediately put his hands up: he was taking the shot.  He then proceeded to slot it from nearly 50 m out, almost on the boundary.

He knew exactly how he was kicking it and nailed it.

At 21 he possibly has 5 years more than Max. His ability around the ground may come in handy when we reach that transition in the future.

and he also speaks well. ...see video interview after game on mfc web site.

LoL... shakes head... what, like English is his first language, dc?   or has he already developed a bloody plum in his throat.

 

Lets let boys be boys, and footy players be footy players, and not spoil therm by smoothing off the edges, just yet... please. Let then have their roughness's. and their aggression.

Was right behind that shot. Went left peg and it looked pretty deliberate.

Yes, but surely the only imperative is that they can play footy, 1st, 2nd, & even yes, 3rd.... I don't care if they're illiterate.   We can always send them to school after footy, to learn the alphabet.

 

It's high time this club stopped worrying about grammarians,,, and focused on footy players.... as a priority. 

Or we will go for another 50 something years, again.

What's wrong with someone who speaks well and plays football well? Not like they're mutually exclusive.

Really liking Weids at the moment. Something that i've noticed is all our picks in the Roo's - Goodwin era are all great characters who are willing to crack in. When we drafted Weids i was amazed watching his introduction interview in which he said he was prepared to wait for his chance. Granted when he had his chances at AFL level he wasn't a beast like Hogan was, but he has grown a lot this year and i think he will be a weapon in the final series and hopefully a more permenant starter next season.

Gradually working my way through the replay, I am more and more impressed by some of the little things (are these the so called one percenters?) with knock ons, bullocking, shepherding and also his ruck work.

Seeing grandpa (the ‘great enemy’ of the late 1950s) and dad in the crowd supporting him made me, hopefully not getting too far ahead of myself, dream of Sam playing the game of his life, his true “breakout game”, being pivotal in an upset win against Collingwood. 

Go Dees. 

Go Sam.

Deep down it must really bug Murray that we got him! I’m sure they are very proud.

    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 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.
