Kane Corns shouldn't be too much concerned about Melbourne we have enough  goal kicking power to win games. The season proper has not started yet and BBB has time to overcome his injury and be fit enough to play  a role in the forward line sooner rather than later.  

Corns haven't you anything better to talk about ? 

 

We definitely don't have enough goal kicking power. Hence why we recruited Ben Brown. Ben Brown is the Key to us going up another level. So we need him fit and firing as soon as possible.

Yup.

Our leading goal kickers the last two seasons have managed a grand total of 22 goals for the season.    Thats getting back to the dark days of 2012-14 when our leading goal kickers were managing totals in the 20's.

I find the most frustrating thing about Kane's nonsense comments is the fact they get a new thread here every time he opens his mouth. 

A nothing comment, with nothing to discuss further. 

Round 1 can't come soon enough.

Nearly choked on my muesli when I saw him described as an "AFL great" somewhere.?

I cannot disagree with Cornes. But this year is a little different 

Excuses won’t save Goodwin’s job in 2021

This is the moment that The Weid and TMac must stand up

We pay them a lot of money ? 

Gee, I almost forgot about Weideman. He has disappointed so far and  there is no cohesian with our mids.

Cornes can be painful and should be removed.

Should he also be worried about:

Richmond = a Hard Wick in a young marketer?

hawtorn = a Paton of dik Piks and a Scully issue?

Pies- its black and white, but Eddie forgot this in his memo

Adelaide = that camp

Dogs = Dunkley will bomb on them

weagles - closed borders impact coke supplies

st Kilda- geary busted leg

freo = no hogan

gws - hogan

swans- Buddy trouble

Not too many teams without trouble, hey Cornes-holer?

 

headline should be Dees troubled by caned corns: toughest preseason yet!

Well he did play 300 games, won a flag, won 4 Best and Fairests and was a 2 time All Australian.

You'd struggle to find a Demon player in the last 50 years with a better resume'.

 

I blame Choco.

Kane Cornes is concerned Melbourne will let themselves off the hook this season, after key recruit Ben Brown was sidelined by injury.

I have to admit, most of the experts are guess work.  They have little inside knowledge. He should have considered our injury problems in the past and how another year of development was going to see us rise up the ladder.

Don't get me wrong,  I obviously hope for improvement but a lot of those players have regressed in their careers. they aren't 2nd or 3rd year players. I'm really excited about Trent Rivers and I'm really excited about Luke Jackson, although he is going to be wasted as a forward as he is a natural ruck. 

Petty, I'm really excited about but he is better as a forward than a defender. I acknowledge that it's only a small sample size but as a defender he looked nervous and made poor decisions. Up forward he looked great. So I see it as a shame that he isn't training as a forward. I put this down to Goodwin not being a great coach and the recruitment of Ben Brown.  But Petty is still a forward.

Salem has been at the same level for years. He is a really good player that doesn't quite get enough of the ball for my liking. He was a midfielder at the Sandringham dragons and we recruited him to play midfield but he is still just a back flanker. So I don't see how he will improve unless he adds a string to his bow and plays midfield. 

Hunt is an enigma. I actually like Hunt. But I don't (and never have liked him forward). And as a rule of thumb, if you're not a good kick for goal you shouldn't be played forward. Momentum is too big in todays game. 

Fritsch is a great player but he has consistently shown to let us down in front of goals. I like his kicking action and I believe its mostly mental at this stage so I do give him a chance to improve. 

Gus Brayshaw has had a limited pre-season and he is simply too slow to play any position other than inside mid. Goodwin seems to not understand this simple concept. If he plays as a full time inside mid then he has every chance to return back to his best otherwise, he is going to have another so-so season where he can't defend on the transition. 

Tom McDonald I think can have a big year. But it's typical of Goodwin to entertain the idea of playing him anywhere other than forward. He has built a reputation for many years as being a poor decision maker and poor user of the ball in defence. A clanger happy defender like Oscar.  Up forward, his decision making is simplified. Get ball, kick for goal. This is where he is at his best. 

And I thought he was only limited to [censored] predictions on Goody and how the team will perform moving forward.

There are at least four absolute howlers in there (and to be fair one accurate prediction on Tomald).

    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.

    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.

    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.
