Farewell Mitch Hannan

When on he is super skilled almost freakish at times but really fades in and out of games. I liked him but consistency was an issue, even over four quarters.

    Good luck to him (except in about 4 week’s time when they play us).

    The only player to have left the club recently who won't be spewing. 

    Best of luck to him!

    Yep I was devastated when he left but now I'm fine with it. Truth be told I kind of actually forgot about him until I heard he was playing tomorrow night. 

    Good luck to him, I hope he plays well.

    Yep that goal against geelong is still on my favourites. The look on Chris Scott's face is even better.

    I thought it was not that great to be honest. The Wheatley commentary was much better , then there's the Titanic mix that surpasses them all

    Agreed. A good outcome for him. But given dees forward structure and strategy i think there was no room for him and fritsch.

    Mitch was a bit hot and cold but fritsch has become a 4 quarter threat and is more vetsatile.

    I caught a little bit of the Dogs v GWS VFL game the other day. I was really surprised by his size. Much bigger and taller than I remember. Looking forward to seeing him again tonight to confirm or realign my view.

    I liked Mitch but he did just seem to keep getting injured. Wish him well.

    You have to handle it to the Cat supporting Whately for that call. If I was commentating that and my team was about to face certain finals elimination it would sound something like “ [censored], [censored]! miss it you [censored] “

    All the players with whom I have serious doubts [censored] themselves last night in the spotlight . . . Bruce (deary, deary me . . . their version of Chris Dawes, only much worse), Cordy (doesn't get to enough contests to kill the ball), Duryea (c-grader that played in a premiership surrounded by really good players), Hannan, Martin, Naughton, Schache (a gamble that hasn't paid off and shouldn't play another AFL game), JJ (what has happened to him?), West, Scott. Naughton still has time on his side, but the others either won't or can't improve. Their only first choice player not available last night, who makes a significant difference, is English. They have a respectable mid-field bunch, but field seriously flawed talls in both the back and front half.

    One of their better midfielders in Dunkley was not available. Would he have made the difference? Probably not, but you went early on the Bulldogs are in real trouble and I don't think it's justified.

    Agree AF. I wouldnt be writing them off yet after 1 bad half against a great team.

    That midfield is still incredible (despite losing Dunkley) and will beat most teams. Their youngsters look good and their support players are good enough. 

    In saying all that... Queanbeyan Demons analysis of their bad players is accurate too.

    Naughton - despite his irritating coiffure - is an outstanding talent. But you're right about Bruce - and his hairdo is even more nauseating.

    Back to Mitch...showed a lot of what he did with us.

    Missed an easy set shot which I said to my Tiges mate he would.

    Had some nice cameos but went missing for a lot of the game.

    He is a downhill skier, when the going gets tough he disappears rarely puts his body on the line and went missing in action.

    I always said to others he is what Ray Jordan used to call a Jib.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
