NON MFC: Round 01


Demonland

Recommended Posts

The Pies have a strong side.  The only real weakness, apart from them only having the second-best ruck in the league, is their lack of a real tall forward.  Not that we have on either, but if you had to pick a weakness I'd be looking there.  Great medium/small forwards, but Cox isn't the answer for the FF spot.

doesn't need to be; just needs to be 6 foot 11 and kick straight! 

they've still got treloar and stephenson to come back in, and unfortunately for them their langdon looks like injury might curtail his career

pendlebury has been such a brilliant player for so long now

hard not to see them in the top four along with tiggas, meth coke, and gw$ - that sort of win against a potential finals team gives them a juicy percentage boost to start the season too

What a complete joke. There is still tackling and body contact in this sport ( although no where hard enough for what we have been used to ) but when they kick a goal they elbow tap one another and after the game they lightly tapped one another with fists. Am I seeing things here ? What an absolute f#^%@$g joke. Monty pythom could not have scripted anything like this.

Is this really going on? I haven’t seen anything from the two games so far. I’m guessing players have their own personalised water bottles out on the field as not to share.

It never ceases to amaze me that the Dogs lost their elim final last year to GWS by 58 points - just 8 points less than our loss to WC in the prelim.

Dogs didn’t get a whisper from the media about their pathetic effort. Meanwhile the media labelled out performance a crime against humanity.

Dogs are overrated.

Dogs were just awful.  Bontempelli completely taken out of the game by Adams.  Johannisen  unsighted all night.  Macrea not much better.    If Wood and Keath weren't there to hold the defense together, it would have been even worse as a result. 

Bruce is overweight, and why they recruited him with Naughton, Lloyd and Schache there already is hard to understand.

Here is a idea why don't the broadcasters use CGI and make a crowd for the tv audience 

They could splice in crowd scenes from the chariot race in Ben Hur.

Best way to beat the dogs?

Put in a extensive amount of physical pressure on Bont and watch him go to water. His prelim last year was the same.

Bont is a good player, but until he deals with this, in no way should he be in the same discussion as Martin, Fyfe, Dangerfields of the game.

Jacob Townsend anyone?

Was screaming for his recruitment and Essendon have landed a beauty for absolutely nothing.

Has everything you need in a Forward, can take a mark, kicks truely, applies tackling pressure.

Currently tearing Fremantle a new hole as we speak.

Can't believe people were so quick to dismiss him. #Insane

Can someone explain to me why Brendan Gale, Peggy O’Neill, and Eddie McGuire were not in attendance at their respective games but Alistair Clarkson was at today’s  game because he’s playing Freo next week.

Thats what you call taking the urine Clarko.

What purpose does a President have being there? Eddie gave his ticket away regardless.

Clarkson has a purpose so I don't see what the issue is here.

I thought Clarkson being there was crap on the optics and didn’t need to be there given the current climate.

But  we’ll agree to disagree.

It seems Adelaide’s magnificent ex leader missed an opportunity to snatch the game in the dying moments. ??

    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.
