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: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
