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.

I know I was having a bit of fun. Seriously though, we need to make the finals to keep us a destination club, as that can make the difference to a potential trade/free agent target. Also it would be nice to wipe out 2019, reward and validate the decision of the players who have come across like May and of course the rest of the club, as well as us fans, who just simply deserve and crave success for our Dees. 
On another note, I hope we can get Jordon a game sometime this year. I have been pushing him up since his first few Casey games as he improved weekly.

Classic Frost then.

If you are talking about the “run too far” free it was another umpire shocker. He took 10-11 steps and was pinged. Terrible decision.

With today’s crushing loss, the Saints appear to be the most vulnerable of the teams in the eight because they have a tough draw ahead of them. In the end, we need to string some wins together including some big scalps. I’m taking things one week at a time of course, but a win against St Kilda would be handy.

That’s the thing about 2020 - you don’t know how the final draw is going to pan out.

Anyone notice Warpole shove in Fyfe in the back while he was on the ground? Exactly like Vanders did, but worse, given Fyfe was grabbing at his shoulder. Not a word from Derm, who quickly changed the topic. He was so so strong on it when Vanders did it...not a word about his beloved Hawk! Disgrace

This season is entirely in our own destiny. But we have to beat Good teams, there are no excuses, all sides are playing off short breaks. 
 

Apologies about my fascination with what you choose to type (it must be lockdown). ..I just did a check - and I must confess I thought it would be at least 10% of the time...but of your 20,000 odd posts - 231 include the phrase 'no excuses' or derivatives of. It's only 1% of your posts, but jeez it feels immense. All the way back to 2009, no excuses.

For a bloke that bangs on about no excuses, incessantly  you're a pretty patient one :)

Though just before The whistle blew he handball it straight to a Freo player so would have turned it over anyway.

That said whenever I have seen him play he had played well. Outmarked fyfe a bit later

Mundy is a really, really good footballer.

I could say underrated but no, I'm sure all those who know football know how good he is.

and he's been one for a very, very long time

if he had played over east - say for collingwood, essendon, hawthorn, or geelong - he'd be a premiership player and feted as a superstar of the game

as much as junior burger has been a terrific member of hawthorn's incredible golden period over the last decade, his time at port was arguably even better

in those 00s sides that were regularly at the top of the table - only to crumble in finals, before finally getting a win in 04, in what was his breakout year - he was arguably more important to the pear than any player bar tredrea

he never forgave them not making him skipper

yeah i counted them on the reply, again a case of umpires not knowing how to judge a distance.

Yes the good, the mark, and the very bad, the handball without looking to the opposing side who then one kick later, put it right through the middle. 
cost his side big time that handball

 

too erratic exciting to watch but heart very much in your mouth

    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 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: #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.
