NON MFC: Round 17

Recommended Posts

We should never have had to rely on Tassie Northorn. 
Never have trusted them.

Our own fault of course. 
 

I will have to do another first - GO SUNS.

Thankfully the second half didn't play out like the first. A win and a Dogs loss next week and we play finals.

The Dogs have been good against bottom 10 sides all year so the odds are against us, but I see a Dogs loss to Fremantle as more likely than Collingwood losing both games.

MFCSS says we miss out on percentage to St Kilda.

Go Suns but can't see it.  Need for GWS to put the Saints away on Friday night.  We will then know the equation for Sat afternoon....and we want a dry deck to facilitate high scoring against the druggies.  If that doesn't do the trick, get on the Freo bandwagon on Sunday......

It wasn't as damaging percentage wise as it was looking early.

I hope that Gunston no score doesn't cost us in the end.

Such a Melbourne result if it does.

One hurdle at least was jumped for us in that the Dogs were looking at a 12 goal win and the Hawks kept it to 6.

Thus they cannot beat our % if they lose next week and we win. Otherwise we would be 9th on a lower % .

The dogs now MUST beat freo to stay in the 8, and cannot afford to cruise to avoid injury.

Small mercy but it all adds up.

hopefully doggies regret not putting their foot on the hawks throat in the 2nd half. 

They will next weekend as we did in 2017. Freo are not now playing like a bottom side and have an excellent strategic coach in Longmuir. GWS showed how to put the Dogs away in last years finals. Aggressively tag Bontempelli

Longmuir was probably part of taking us down in 2017. Hopefully he can do us the favour this time

Agree. And he was often quoted as a key reason Buckley got the Pies to the 2018 GF as part of that coaching squad.

And they have the mighty Nat Fyffe as a foil to the Bont.

    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.
