Very similar average disposal number to Nathan Jones and a lot on DL calked for Jones to retire. 

Where to from here for Jack? 

Gets caught way too often.

Chance for him to show

Chance for him to show something different now that his old mans and Jones shadow are not hanging over him. Will be a better play IMO. Want to see him do smarter things and involve teammates more rather than doing it all himself. Tends to hunt and get his own ball rather than like Jones demanding everyone gives it to him these days. Lingering injuries have also scuppered him this season. Hope he gets a solid full pre season in.

Viney 3rd in the B&F is a solid indication of how the team went in 2019. 

He had a very average year. He is a tough unit, i admire that, but his skills were very average 

I don’t know why he is Captain, i hear him on the Demon Podcast and he is just a big kid. That is fine, but i think we can do better in the Leadership Department. He needed to lift the team in 2019 and i didn’t see it

interesting 2020 coming up


along with Oliver handballing to someone's feet and Viney getting caught with the ball it does say something about the coaching staff and their Band F voting.

A very underwhelming performance in a totally underwhelming year.

I hope we get to rate Goodwin in this activity

Finishing 3rd in the B & F days a lot about MFC and the 2019 season.

Take your point but as I understand the award the votes by the coaches are heavily weighted to team contribution,adherence to gameplan etc.

If Viney's efforts were so valued by the coaches it suggests to me that they set the wrong KPI's for him.

Stella year for Jack.....3rd in the B & F.

Congratulations!!!

I thought him very ordinary , yet finished 3rd in B&F ?? We also finished 17th under his and Jones leadership.

Needs r=to follow Jones and relinquish the Captaincy. Max to Captain in his own right!

Put the B&F voting in perspective.  If he had that season in 2018 he would have finished 13th one vote in front of ANB.  About where his season was imo.

I hope he bulks back up to return to the scary beast that he can be, ala 2018 when fit as per photo, as opposed to the skinny easily tackled runs out of energy version of 2019.

Needs to start eating properly again. Feel like he hasn’t played to his potential since we heard about the ‘fasting’ he does. 

Would also like to see him used purely as a tagger which would create a bit more variety in our centre square make-up. We’re a bit vanilla in there at the moment and a different approach from just one of the very similar type/style players would be worth looking at.

He’s not super slow at all. Albeit I feel he lost a bit of pace this year like most of our team.

Not sure there are (or have been) too many specialist taggers that have ever been super quick. If they were they wouldn’t be taggers.

Cameron Ling was a great tagger – not quick – as one example.

Was our arguably our most important player in last year's two finals wins. That was after how many weeks out? 

He is a proven performer with a pre-season under his belt. It's all he needs. Is a limited player, but his one wood at its best is almost unmatched.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
