Dont write off the Suns tomorrow night, give them a much bigger chance than the Dorks today.

 

 

Don’t think so. They’ve been on the decline throughout the second half of the season. Their only decent game was against North who are the worst performed team by far in that period.

What a [censored] up !!!

[censored] we only to beat one of Freo Swans !!

Another lost opportunity!

Exactly. Whether we were complacent or lazy or exhausted is not clear but surely we should have beaten  one of Freo or Swans   
 

Not enough passion or desire?

Club has always scrambled to make finals since 87 or missing out on double chances by dropping games against bottom teams. I’d be surprised if we get in this year but want be surprised if we lose to Essendon either

That'll be mighty stressful, we'd need the Giants to pull saints pctge down by several % so we can leapfrog them, while not themselves lifting their own pctge by the 6% to overtake us. Imagine beating dons by a point, our % would fall fractionally - we really need a big win to maximise our chances. Perilous stuff!

Come on Weid, time for your break-out 7-goal haul.

Will be tiiiiiggghht!

gws win by any score on Friday. Then we know how much we need to win by the next day. 

not sure my nerves could take it!

The dogs should have won that by 70 points, could come back to haunt them. They had the hawks on toast and just needed to maintain the pressure. 

Freo are playing like a top 8 team at the moment. 

Let's hope  Hogan has a great day

Would be ironic (poetic, tragic..?) if Hogan was to lift the Demons into a second finals series (that he wouldn’t be partaking in) in three years, next Friday...

    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.
