THE GOAL MAN    

The highlight of Hannan’s year was his goal on the run that heralded the win over Geelong in the Elimination Final. It was one of 22 for the season (the same number he kicked last year on debut) that included an important three goal haul against the Eagles. Was hampered by some knee issues and an early bout of indifferent form which saw him at Casey in a few occasions during the year.

    Suffered this year perhaps from being compared to Fritsch.

    Seemed to find his mojo towards the pointy end of the season.

    Needs to cement his spot in 2019 or he may be passed by others.

    The jury is out for me on Hannan. He is great when he is on, and he can rotate into the midfield but he is just so inconsistent. Maybe another preseason and experience will smooth out the lumps. I'd love to see him put it all together at the same time consistently.

    An enigma but when he's on he's terrific. Great goal against Geelong and great game against the Eagles. An injured stopped us from seeing the best of Hannan.

    I think Mitch is criminally underrated.

    However, I'm concerned his knee injury is one he'll constantly need to manage.

    Big, big season for Mitch in 2019. Can he forge a solid AFL career or just become one of the many cameos?

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
