POSTGAME: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Another 4 qtr game!? What's happened? It's almost like we've worked out that it's easier to play for the whole game! You almost don't need a gameplan haha (almost).

Trac and Maxxy were magnificent. A+++

Jackson, awesome stuff - so much potential. The extra height around the ground is precious.

Weid did exactly what we want from him. More, please! 

It's crazy how our forwards can kick goals when the ball is actually delivered to them!? 

Better, so much better. Always a heartwarming feeling to pump the Hawks. The lions will be a real test of where we're at. Would be great to continue this upward trend.

Go Dees, finally something to be pleased with amidst all the other mess.

So good to see the team put in a performance that we can’t really complain about. Sure, there was some poor play, but it didn’t define the game. Keep up this kind of footy and the future looks bright.

Petracca has developed TIME, he has soo much time

In the last quarter I saw three Hawthorn players too scared to go near him when he kicked that ball.

A Dees win and a Carlton loss after the siren - couldn't be happier!

Blues losing was actually really good for us. Port are a lock for finals. Blues competing with us for a spot.

Can someone shut down that weightman is better than kozzy thread ASAP.

Everytime kossy gets his hands on the ball i wet myself. He offers so much more than weightman, i'm really glad we picked him up. 

The great legacy of the 36 lives on!!!

Positives everywhere, especially in the middle of the ground where we were dominant.

But for the first time in a long time, we look dangerous in the forward 50. Owed in no small part to Weideman flying at everything and bringing the ball to ground with Pickett looking dangerous whenever he gets within 10 metres of the drop of the ball. Jackson is going to be a ten year plus player. And a bloke called Harley Bennell is looking like a god send.

Many on here have been calling out forever to fix up the forwardline. On today’s evidence we have taken big strides towards doing just that.

Reward for effort. Of which there was bucketloads.

We’re back baby.

Its honestly mystifying that it took until last week for the coaches to play Weideman. Our structure looks so much better with him crashing packs and clunking marks. Great to see him get on the end of a few goals. Probably should've finished with five. 

Also....Luke Jackson: 14 touches, three marks (two contested), three tackles and a goal in just his second game. Early days, but Action Jackson looks super impressive.

Weid has captured some 2018 year form.   Jackson has the goods and is going to be a fine player for us.

Just wanted to highlight this - while he will have some quiet games over the coming weeks, I think we got a real glimpse today of why we drafted Jackson at three.  He did it all - good skills, took some key marks, and even laid some really important tackles.  He has got plenty of strings in his bow and I'm excited to see him develop.

Brilliant team effort. The pressure in the first half was off the chart i thought. A quarter of our total tackle count came inside our forward 50. 

We head to the sunshine state with some confidence now. Can’t wait for next week, Weid building nicely and a date with Andrews ( best full back imo) awaits.

Really pleased with OMac and Weed - both had question marks against them but have been great.

Omac is actually a really dependable kick. He’s starting to grow on me.

    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.
