GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Port Adelaide



Recommended Posts

Our forward line is rat****. 

Pickett looks flashy, but ultimately is a non-contributor. Offers little offensively and defensively.

Jackson isn’t a forward.

Weid can’t handle wrestling with big defenders.

TMac is slower and less agile than my grandmother.

Fritsch is a specialist at shanking his kicks.

Melksham doesn’t rock up half the time.

Possibly the worst forward line since Brad Miller lead players like Pettard and Dawes into battle.

Guys i got home late.  Thought chanel 70 was on series tag.  Wait ....no recording as my series tag for AFL was too low down the pecking order.  Arghh....wot to do.  Wait i got Kayo yippee!

So i sit down with dins and a cold ale hoping to at least witness a hard fought contest with a team that's eager to improve.

Now i have no idea what's happened.  I have not read one post on here and i don't know the result.  However, i just had the unfortunate experience of watching one of the most undisciplined bunch of rabble attempt to play something resembling AFL footy i have ever seen.  Easily rates up there as a top 50 or so i think and ive seen some horrors watching this mob.

All rookies excused.  The rest who have 70 plus games or more, apart from a few try hards, well words escape me.  Abomination?

So i head into the 2nd  hoping for the best but expecting more of the same.  We don't even look like scoring a goal at this point with one rushed kick from a defender (Lockhart...who actually wasn't too bad that quarter) and a bog ordinary nothing kick from Clarry into the post after the siren.

Could it get worse?  Yes it could.  If we keep playing at that sub standard we'll be lucky if any networks will even bother with us from here.  Who the hec would want to watch this rubbish.  Very hard to polish a turd i'm afraid.

And it all started with a wet behind the ears Georgiardio easily losing Oscar as Port brought it through the middle, taking a simple overhead, and kicking truly.  His bro, lead foot Tom, aint helping one bit so far.  And Harmes!??  What the hell's going on there?  Chunk doing his usual get ball ...turn ball over immediately through the middle trick.  

We almost look like we've raised the white flag from the get go.

I hope i'm proven wrong.  Off to watch the 2nd.  Oh what joy.

Can't remember there last time I've done it even in the dark Neeld years but I'm turning off just making me angry. I don't need this s*$@t

Honestly, the best way to deal with this is to not care about it.

I wonder if the bloke running the place understands just how dangerous it would be for the clubs future if other long term members took a similar view?

Lol Pickett, does nothing but give away frees. Cant believe we've likely essentially paid more than pick 1 for him.

He’s a tiny peanut. Overrated on this site so far. Let’s hope he improves. Looks like a poor man’s JKH at this stage.

WTF is Langdon doing?  HE sees the turnover on our HF line and for some idiotic reason every single time he starts stalking forwards towards the ball carrier and leaves his man wide open on the wing.  How many times have they gone over his head tonight?

    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.
