Hannan and Viney in,hope we don't get anymore injuries though cupboard is starting to get a bit bare. Don't want our finals campaign to be derailed.

Spargo will benefit the most from a week off, so he stays in.

JKH made a few critical errors and it was painfully obvious most players were looking for options other than him, even when he was the open player. Other than that he was ok.

For me it's Tyson and Kent out for:

Viney and Hannan.

Would also look at JKH for Garlett but JKH applies way more pressure and covers the ground. Garlett, on song, kicks goals. Tough one. 

Do not want Bugg

Watch the highlights and look how many goals Spargo was directly involved in ... he is a silent assassin.  So many important touches.

With two weeks to freshen up he will play vs the Cats....  not bad playing your first final at 18 years of age!

Brilliant finish to the season, big energy boost going into finals (I don’t like the week off), hope we can maintain the rage.

Just you wait. Fast forward 12 years and we'll have won 5 premierships and it'll be the first non-finals year of his career. He'll be the reverse Jones.

I suspect one of Tyson and Kent will get up. So for mine would be:

Viney for JKH

Joel Smith for either Tyson/Kent, then move Fritsch up the ground (wing or forward).

If Garlett plays another decent game, selection could get tricky, especially as the logical out if he comes in would be Spargo - which would be a bit stiff.

Going to throw a curve, what if Hunt passes his test and plays in VFL unscathed on Saturday? Would you put him on the short list of ins? Geelong aren't known for being a quick team and his pace could be handy against that mob.

Could possibly be:

Ins: Hannan, Viney, Hunt

Out: Kent, Tyson, JKH.

Didn't mind JKH today, but I do like hunts pace. The cat's have been a tough assignment for us, I think we need to load up with whatever weapons we have.

What a great run from vanders to be entrenched in that side. Amazing.

If Tyson is done then Viney and Hannan.

JKH survives as he is serviceable and is more use than Bugg. 

vandenFyfe is showing why I fell in love with him from that first NAB Challenge game.

Having said that, I really doubted his body would hold up like he has but so good to see him back in the team as a vital contributor.

He is also a big effing unit and uses the whole apartment.

I think Spargo is underrated a little round these parts.  He had a hand in a number of goals today with his crumbing work.  As others have stated, with Kent and Tyson both going out, there is no chance that Spargo doesn't play.  

Spargo really showed his worth for mine today especially in the second half. I know he’s probably feeling it but he’d be pretty stiff to get droppped based on 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.

    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.
