NON MFC: Round 11

Recommended Posts

I hope our coaches are watching the Cats vs Saints game. 

Cats spent the first 5+ minutes playing kick to kick as they did vs us.  But the Saints were able to get the ball from them.  'Learnings' there for us.

Both Saints and Geelong have a good percentage. Whoever wins let's hope it's a thrashing

Saints are yet to play the Eagles Brisbane and the Giants. They also play us, Bombers and Hawks... Interesting possibilities

They might have been third but it Wouldn’t surprise me if the saints miss out on finals. No gun tall fwds, inside midfield can be beaten. Play keepings off and they fold

Time to mow down the Saints.

Who knows what to make of this season.

Saints have looked a million bucks recently, and then turned into a 2013 Melbourne side tonight.  They didn't kick a goal after half time after smashing sides these last few weeks.

Do we rate the Cats?  I feel like they could fall off a cliff as well.

If we can keep winning games then we can play finals.  It's that sort of season.

Just sent a txt too a saints mate who’s been at the game, and has been getting a bit cocky about them.

“Hey “mate” the Dee’s kicked 4.8 against port up there and got beat by 51..........Dee’s and saints game should good”.
 After siren.
“your mob kicked 2 more behinds than us but got beat by 59..........Dee’s by 6”

Are you sure? That is a pretty novel concept.

Yes, on second reading that's a pretty poor sentence.  

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, normally, by this time of the season the eight is pretty set.  But I don't think it is this year.  Teams are more prone to losses, and in some cases big losses, and if we can hold our nerve then we can knock someone out of the eight as the season progresses.  That's what I was trying to say anyway.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
