Smashing Hawthorn makes the apocalypse feel way better. 

Oscar has come in and said listen [censored], don’t listen to what Simon says, this is my world and this is how you’re setting up. 

Petrecca is something else. The balance and movement plus  explosion stands out likes dogs balls in an era of ugly footy. Really bringing the joy back for me. 

Gawn took the [censored] all day. 

Oliver and Viney were a driving force. Bullies. 

Brayshaw half good half awful. Which one is really him?

Jackson played a better game than Tomald has for 12 months. Promising stuff. Bennell and Kozzie also played really well up forward. 

So good to see Weed making a difference. 

And Langdon played like what Scully should’ve become. 
 

Speaking of Scully, best part was when a 200 kilo Italian ran away from him like he wasn’t there. 

Pretty much everything I want to say.

Also, don’t write Jetta off yet.

Pathetic effort from Scully really. Didn't even try and catch him.

Watching $cully get smashed all day was just icing on the cake.

Just a great win.

Really looking forward to next week to see how we go.

A lot of people have downplayed the significance of winning a flag this year. I think if a team like us that are going to be almost perpetually on the road this year can enable it, it would be a great achievement.

Best game since 2018.

 

Tracc and Gawn were immense.

 

Ive seen a few mention it, but I reckon Langdon deserves a heap of praise. Last week was good, this week we saw exactly why we went after him. Runs and Runs and runs and hit his targets today. 
 

also thought Clarry improved as the game went on. Getting better at picking when to handball and when to kick. Still has to be a focus though. 

He’s improving and now starting to have more confidence in his kicking, but still gives off these dinky little handballs that do nothing. He sold Max into trouble with one in the last quarter and the look on his face was priceless. Didn’t even consider he would go to Max when Clarry had the momentum out of the backline. 

Thankfully Gawn is a quality player and made it work (to a point).

How good is it to have a real wing man that has a tank and is quick? And knows how to find space. 

I keep hearing about his poor kicking skills but I think he is alright. He was really important in the first half

He knows his limitations which is so important. I have been super impressed with him

Smells like 2018 except our guns are more mature and better. Just a sniff though at this stage but promising. Jackson looks like he will be a player. The Weid looks like he has reclaimed his late 2018 confidence - except he has matured since then - GREAT sign for things to come. Add a fit May, Bennell, Langdon plus our recruits. 

Who does T Mc come in for?????/

Weideman crashing packs like a big bloke should. Make your opponents know its going to hurt.

He actually looked tough af at times today. That elbow in the face and he bounced up like nothing happened.

 

Angry Weid is my favourite Weid.

100%. I see myself as a relatively measured, maybe negative, poster, but anyone who called for Oliver to be dropped is so far off the mark it isn’t funny. Even at his “worst”, he’s still a borderline top 50 player in the comp. At his best, he will rack up AA’s and BnF’s as one of the best inside mids in the game.

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.

yes Jackson was impressive today., read the fall of the ball very well, was quite good without the ball pressuring the opposition and did quite a few night things with the ball.

 

for a second game it was impressive and looks like the King boys with ability to cluck marks and athleticism.

Some really pleasing signs. The game plan clicked and it looked awesome.

The midfield dominated on the back of Gawn, who played his best game in a long time. Contested marking and made every possession count.

Langdon provides the run and spread while Harley looks like he is getting better every week.

Omac and the Weed have given us structure. Who would have thought!

Couple of things to work on. Let's not put the ball on Fritta's head! Vanders' kicking is not well weighted and Pickett (played very well) needs to make his tackles stick.

Two of them have only played 3 games.    

Thanks. Neale has been huge this year, and didn’t realise Pendlebury had been that prolific. He’s always class.

Probably been said before, but the structural and personnel changes to allow Fritsch to play third tall forward and Lever third tall back have made a mountain of difference. Let’s keep it that way, please. That and our sustained fierce tackling and pressure warmed my heart today.

Loved Langdon’s game.

If you need convincing of the importance of the wingman’s role (Goody included), watch the very first goal of the game to Gunston, and how Brayshaw gets sucked in and they just spread it to the wing to Scully and goal time.

After that, not only did we shut it down defensively, but Langdon was always an option, and barely made a wrong decision with the ball. Loving the balance it brings to our game.

    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.

    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
