I think we'll need a better plan than this to encourage players to Step Up if we're ever to get truly serious ?

I think this looks like jeffy's 2018 step ladder.  Note it's brand new showroom condition.  unused as yet jeffy.

Has McCartin ever played against us? I’m thinking maybe once at the G, but he always seems to be out against us. 

 

Breakout game alert. Big 3.3 coming up...

So why did they “rest” their most consistent midfielder and arguably their best!? Weird [censored]!

Plenty of the old  "list-management" going on, in 2018.

He’s has never had the chance to be one of Oscar’s b*tches.

Hopefully Hogan plays. I have never known him not to click against this mob.

So are you thinking they need to drop all 3 or just 1? Is leg speed your issue? 

I think leg speed is there issue but I also think they are needed to lead and direct on the ground. 

I would have one of either Lewis or Vince in the team at any one time. Jones would be in the team as Captain although I believe he is not a great captain during the game quarter to quarter 

i want to see more speed through the middle. With them there I see us as one dimensional at times.

He's actually played a couple of stinkers v's the Saints.

2015 - 7 possessions 1 goal - MCG loss

2016 - 10 possessions 1 goal - Etihad loss

 

Granted the other 3 games he played against St Kilda he averaged 5.

It's the Lions he has complete ownership of.

They will come out all guns blazing trying to prove they aren't the rabble everyone suspects them to be. Weather the storm in the first quarter then put the foot down. We should really be winning this one comfortably.

Acres is a big out for the Saints! He normally plays very well v the Dees...

Hogan and Petracca I don’t think play. Hogan is banged up and needs a week off! Petracca hasn’t touched any footballs this week and needs the same. This will be highly beneficial in the short and long term for the season. 

I will be shocked if either play. This is where Melbourne need to play 100% fit players. It would be a smack in the mouth to the players on extended interchange who are listed to replace these two.

OUT- Salem, Hogan

IN- Garlett, Tim Smith Or Pedo

I would like to see Garlett play high forward midfield this week. Pace around the stoppages in the centre and wings give us x-factor. I like Sparky in the F50 as our crumping player.

Tim Smith or Pedo play inside 50. I think Smith gets the nod here...

I didn't want to start a new thread, but given it's St Kilda v Melbourne playing this week, it's an appropriate time to ask the following: Is Carl Ditterich the only player in VFL/AFL history to have played with two clubs twice? That is, Carl played with St Kilda, then Melbourne, then St Kilda again and then Melbourne again. Has anyone else done that?

PS: This game should be played for the Carl Ditterich Cup, which should have a nice, white headband attached to the top.

This confirms my confirmation bias that jnr has a small problem with comprehension.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    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.
