POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs Adelaide


Demonland

Recommended Posts

I'd have put this in a general umpiring thread, but couldn't find one. 

Another rule -not-of-the-week is players in the so-called protected zone.  Being ignored at the moment (eg. Frisch's mark at 4:50 in Q1) Personally I think that is a good thing - so many have been paid where the offender would have had no effect on the play.  But watch the umps pull one out at a critical moment to the despair of half the supporters (actually probably far less than half).

Talking about the commentary, give me Mark Howard or Huddo anyday. Ed and Derm should not be on together because they don't focus on the game and rather act as if they are sitting round a table talking about the past. 

Dwayne is just annoying. Kingy is ok but I wonder why he never went into coaching. The way he analyses the game makes him sound like a coach. 

also well done on Goody calling out the off the ball treatment Maxy gets off the ball. I know after his presser the fox footy team didn't agree with goody doing that but he is obviously had enough of the treatment. 

I think that little nugget was designed for us. Your response (and mine for that matter) is exactly what he was after.

I think I recall a couple where they completely ignored the defender running passed the player with a mark way too close.... 

The worst was Trac with a free kick on the boundary line later in the game and the Crows player just blatantly dropped the ball right in front of the umpire instead of handing it over....

There was an even worse one. I think Langdon had the ball at CHF, in maybe the second quater and a crows player came within 1 metre i reckon.

All langdon had to do was turn to right and feint to kick and it would have been paid, but he didn't react at all and nor did the umpire. The  commentators noted it was debutant and that he was lucky, bit of course didn't criticise the non call. 

On commentators my head is literally going to explode the next time i hear Dwayne say ' nice drop step'. What the [censored] is DROP STEP!!!!!!

And while i'm on this topic i will literally disintegrate next time one of those peanuts say something similar to 'literally anything could happen here'

NO.IT. COULDN'T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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.
