Is it just me... or is the footy just completely uninspired this year - to the point where it feels irrelevant?

Boring games, no passion, feels like watching training. 

You aren't alone, the way the game is played is incredibly scrappy and low skilled, lots of stoppages and the free kicks at times just seem to be random.

I don't know what happened to the footy that was played only a couple of years ago, maybe we can put a little bit down to COVID making things a little weird but it just seems like such a mess right now.

Frost is a better player than all of Lever, O Mac and Joel Smith but most around here can’t admit it just because he’s wearing a different jumper.

Smith - Yes
Lever - Right now, about the same
OMac - Well Oscar played well in his one and only game, let's see how he goes this weekend

Frost himself, not devastated he left. I had my heart in my mouth every time he got the ball, and defensively he gets caught out quite a bit. What exactly has he done at the Hawks so far to warrant your praise?

Saints proving what shrewed recruiting is.

Don't need to go out and spend 800k on a defender when you you recruit someone like a Dougal Howard who'll come in and just do the job.

Butler, Hill, Jones all playing critical roles for the saints.

They wasted that much on Carlisle

Seems to be a pattern in the past couple of seasons where teams get bully like kick sand in face fast starts and then drop off allowing the opposition to get back in the game. A trait we have been particularly good at in recent seasons and then fading.

Going back to the Hawks game for a moment - their team out there for 3 goals in a game had an average age of 27 - more than a year older even than the team Collingwood sent out, and the Pies themselves  are one of the oldest teams running around at present.

I'm already dreaming of a win over Gold Coast followed by a thumping of Hawthorn to declare our return.

I really hate Hawthorn.  I really do.

Long assaulted a player (Darcy) bending down to collect the ball.

An example of the apple not falling far from the tree? (Michael Long/Troy Simmonds - 2000 GF)

Should get 3 +.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    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.
