Yes definitely some talent there and some good players across the list.

If you ranked the top 50 players in the comp though would they have any listed? Not sure

Rihht now they’re looking at a top 4 ladder spot which is about 10 spots higher than where I would have had them in March.

Well done Saints. Was hoping that Port would win to make it easier for us... 

If anything, the Saints are showing us that Port are more than beatable.  They should have lost to Carlton the previous week as well.  They are very flaky at the moment.

jack steele is the best run-with player in the competition at the moment, so i'd definitely have him and hill, plus probably billings, in the top 50 players in the game this year

marshall not far off it either

I’ve watched most of there games and have loved Steele this season. Hard as a cats scone and is a tackling machine.

Hill tonight has been ok tonight but he’s been awful this year. Most supporters were calling for his head. 

Anyways, I may underrate a few of them but the point I was poorly trying to make is that I’m impressed at how they’re performing as a team which I think is a direct relation to Ratten taking over

I'm glad he has had a stinker and there is no way he won't be dropped.

He was initially dropped..

Came in tonight after Trent McKenzie pulled out.

Gritty gutsy win by the Saints.  Bit of class there also with Clarke, Hill & Butler running around.  King and Membury up front doing well.  Back 6 holding up also. They have a solid mix.

Tackling's a little off at times and a few inexperienced fellas letting em down with disposal on occasions but aside from that not too shabby indeed.

Yeah I know, but with his performance he will be going straight back out and we will be spared his traditional BOG performance.

wait til 2021...

a close game is a good game, been pretty happy with the footy this round so far

Yeah sadly it feels like he will end up at Carlton which would make them very dangerous up forward.

Might be just me but I am starting to enjoy the season and take more interest in it also. I am watching most games all the way through at the moment, where a few weeks ago was struggling to watch a half a game. Don’t get me wrong there is still some absolute rubbish games but there always is. I am also feeling the season while always going to have an asterisk next to it, it’s going to be more about how crap a year 2020 was rather than an unworthy Premier.

Bloody hell I hope we keep winning.

the best thing about shortened games is it's keeping the games interesting for 'longer' - even if that insane stat that brayshaw kept rabbiting on about tonight has it that only one team out of 67 games has come back from behind in to win - and that was kangas running over the top of the aints all the way back in round 1!

FWIW I hope that the shortened matches continue after covid-19; if/whenever that is. More close matches/less blowouts.

I don't like the Saints much, but glad for Ratten. He has endured a lot ... sacked as coach of the Blues/son dying. He was awesome as Demons' midfield coach.

It’s a damning statistic on the state of the game. Negativity has taken over.  Might as well give every team 95 points and only play out the last 5 minutes. At least it will guarantee a high scoring game.

Can anyone help me decide - Essendon misery or Adelaide misery? 

I guess Essendon misery has the practical side of keeping the ladder a little more open, while Adelaide misery is only relevant as a joy in itself.

Crows to win. Essendon to spend the rest of the season just outside the 8. Or, to quote in anticipation "They were the best team to not make finals all year, weren't they BT?' and 'You've really got to think they'll be a serious contender next year, wouldn't you reckon Lingy?'

etc.

    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.
