Sorry Sam, we’ll get back to you in a moment….

For my money, the best version was by Them.

True story, how good was it seeing those fakers do nothing!

That said the problem is Lobb will likely be part of the LJ trade as Freo don’t have great picks to trade to us. So it might have been nice to see Lobb show something as a forward.

Josh Bruce had 2 disposals against us, manned by Tomlinson for a portion of the game.

Matt Taberner - who’s actually handy at his best - had 6 disposals last night. Felt like 2.

There’s no way to describe a 1 possession game as good but I don’t think it was Sam’s worst

Just listened to the presser and Goody made no mention at all about Weideman?

Those holding out hope for Sam are kidding themselves. He is just not up to it.

We in the other hand need to secure a KPF. Was watching some Of BBB last year and there is a considerable difference in output. I think his knee is cooked.

Geez it would have been handy to snag Walker.

Yes he did, thanked the Midfielder’s including Sam

What? Mate what press conference are you listening to? The only forward who got a mention was Bayley Fritsch and that was due to the questioned being asked if he was All Australian form. 

Again, Goody never once mentions Sam's name at all and that's after I've listened to it twice. 

What minute mark was it mentioned?

So today he was bad, but not significantly worse than last week..... which means he was bad then as well but worse today.

I have never seen a bar set quite so low.

Lets hope his surname inspires Collingwood to do something stupid like offering us a late second rounder for him, because thats the best we can hope for.

He might be a fantastic person, but he aint a key forwards bootlace.

I think Brown would have been no better last night to be fair. I was at the game and saw Weid often more competitive in contested situations than last week. Conditions had a big say.

Rubbish. At least BBB attacks that ball in marking contests, and makes some effort once it hits the ground. I suggest you watch the replay. Weid was not interested in making second efforts.

His best footy is as the second ruck and to be honest he’s probably be better in that position than Jackson at the moment.

No he’s not a shadow of LJ

It was the first presser up on the AFL website last night. I watched it twice. Because i was in shock!!

Maybe Goody did a take 2 and replaced it!!

Or maybe he just didn't mention him at all? I don't think I've ever heard of a press conference having to do a take 2...

Melbourne has too strong a list to keep giving Weid one last chance after another. Goodwin said in his presser that Brown is good to go next week.

One change re Coll ... BBB for Weid. Thats it.  No mention  of Jackson or Lever  being injured.

Toss Jacko into CHF see what he can  do infront of 80,000 on the G. May as well throw him to the wolves. Looks like he's going back to WA.

If we had too strong a list, he wouldn't be getting a game. He's getting a game due to lack of tall forward options. Jackson and Max have struggled at various stages this year forward too.

They think of Taberner over here, what we think of Weid, morning sports radio and about how quickly they need to dump him. How he had 1 okay season and hasn't performed since.   They dislike his lack of effort etc.

The bronx cheers last night certainly explained that..

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

The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
