Adelaide will probably ask for a priority pick this year and probably get one knowing the AFL.

Well if they go through the season without a win you could kind of understand it.

@Pickett2Jackson

We will get there.  Our season isn't defined by one game like this.

Yeah probably but I would love to see the Crows experience a few years of absolute garbage before they get any help.

Yes it does, I still think he has tidied up a bit with Clarskon's coaching.

But your thoughts please, the game is so micro managed now, that anyone choosing to take the game on and making a boo boo, is super exposed with the media making a meal of it, I actually think it takes a fair bit of courage to not be a conservative down the line defender,  it is one of the things I like about our footy and dislike the way the game becomes all about the percentages.

I wouldn’t disagree at all that the game has become over structured and managed with percentages etc. Frost ball is an exciting but for winning games it just didn’t seem to come off enough for me, I always had my heart in my mouth when he had the ball. 

On tonight’s game, Dunn’s haircut is the worst seen in the AFL for years. Absolutely awful. 

Also welcome back Lynden!

Who will the ins be for Collingwood on Saturday? They have been poor tonight, big chance for us to notch another confidence building win on Saturday.

Darcy Moore, Ben Reid and probably Pendlebury. Hopefully Pendles decides he needs another week of rest. Either way I think we should go in favourites, and this is a massive opportunity for us.

Makes the man bun look like a model of restraint.

Moore and Pendlebury are good ins, I hope they play Reid, put a fork in him cos he’s cooked.

-Grundy looks tired and not impacting much apart from winning the hitouts, Gawn could outrun him off his feet

It looked as if Grundy was being managed as he was off the ground a lot more than usual.

Can you elaborate ?

Leaving their tired old patter aside it does little more that skim the surface of the game for me. There used to be a show called On The Mark that followed 360 and I thought the girls on it were really good at guiding their guests through some sensitive topics. Then again maybe it just seemed that way after an hour of listening to Robbo.

    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.
