NON MFC: Round 05


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Appears to be a new rule. 
Players taking a kick outside the boundary line, aren’t being made to bring the ball in over the mark, but rather are being allowed to continue on outside the line . Should be thrown in, as soon as they play on or kick it outside the line.

Move sideways off the line and its play on.  If the ball is fully over the boundary line, it must be out of bounds.?  

And as you say,  should then be the umpires ball to throw in.

Gold Coast doing a better job at the moment at countering Geelong’s movement of the football than we did last week. 

That wouldn’t be hard Whisp. Most teams can counter it except us.

Even the coach said we didn’t know how to get the ball back. That says a lot.

If you’re taking a kick outside the boundary line, you can play on, or switch the kick. You don’t have to kick the ball directly over the mark. Is that what you mean?

But if you do play on outside the boundary line and Then hesitate while being outside the boundary line, then it should be thrown in. If you play and commit to it, without hesitation then it’s play on.

we lost a forward; we should have been drafting a forward

hindsight is 20/20 but goddamn....

A part of me wants to be at ease that Luke Jackson can be our Ben King..

What, you can run outside the boundary line, past the mark and keep running there, out of play  until you kick it in and that is ok. I don’t think so.

To be fair, after the 2018 finals we probably thought Weideman was the next King brother. 

There’s not much fairness hereabouts.  But I see the GC who have passed us according to the doomsayers don’t seem to be losing to Cats by just a few points.

    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. Date of Birth: 4 J
