According to channel 7 Gawn no certainty and Max King is going to be rested. 

If Maxy is not 110% then for the love of god DONT PLAY HIM. Look what happened when he played against the crows, he hasn’t been seen since.

unrelated injuries tho

more similar to the way he came back in rd 1 where he looked seriously underdone

if it's a pcl then he definitely shouldn't be playing

U could tell his shoulder was bothering him and he shouldn’t have been playing IMO. The knee injury was icing in the cake. 

The problem was that there was so much pressure to win the game that it affected the decision to play Gawn imo. He should have never played and it shouldnt happen again.

He's definitely not 100%, let alone 110%. Get the feeling he'll play though.

Just because he has tape on his knee doesn’t mean he is not ready to go

Listening to Alan Richardson on Talking Point, he mentions that we'll look at bringing in players with a bit of run and carry.

Hunt? Baker? C Wagner?

Baker the only one there that fits that description.  Hunt and Wagner both useless.

Would love to see Baker, Rivers, Bennell and Bedford all come in.

Unless they bring him in for AVB.  Not so much for speed of course, more from a form perspective in terms of getting to the right places, getting involved in link up.  Chunk can also kick the odd goal occasionally whereas Vanders doesn't. 

If Bennell had a defensive / intercept side i'd be bringing him straight in for AVB.  Might be worth a look for a managed Kozzie?

Rivers is a must in for Sparrow so Harmes can go back to his preferred role running with Steele in the middle / and pushing forward for the odd mark/goal & attacking chain work in the forward half which will also help keep the Saints honest.

Bringing Harmes into the mid also allows Viney to play more time as a pressure forward which we will need in this match.  Something that was sadly missing last week from the smalls inside 50 who were found wanting.

Had to look twice at the photo Lord, thought for a minute u forgot what Gawn looked like then I had a closer look and saw the third leg. 
 

Very good spotting mate. 
 

Getting back to my point if he is not right don’t play him. He is to valuable to us.

RE: That Richo interview, I don’t think his Saints IP is going to be much use this week. I’d say Ratten would be doing the opposite to what Richo taught the players considering how well they are going now.

But I think it is. We over rate our list, thinking they are better than they really are. There is a reason we cannot beat good sides, they are just better than we are. You can’t make silk purse out of a sows ears

I can buy that if it weren't for Oliver, Petracca, Viney, May, Lever, Salem, Harmes, Fritsch, et al

We have enough talent - I think we let our coaches off the hook with that - I have better teams out of less talent.

And lastly, that 3rd quarter against the WB does not follow the we are not good enough viewpoint - we were fine up until then - and then the wheels came off.

You don't suddenly lose talent and skill over a half time break...

i respectfully disagree. Part of being good is being consistent. Too many of our players are not consistent whether thats year to year, week to week, or even disposal to disposal. Yes those players you mention can reach fabulous heights but by and large its not in a consistent and dependable manner (id say clarry, gawn may exceptions).   Coaching obviously is meant to address some of this but at some point yea, you just have to admit maybe this is just the player they will always be. Ie not consistently good.

    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.

    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.
