Haha McKay can't convert,  but yet Weideman missed a simple goal 25m dead in front against Adelaide to win us the game..

You say it's poor list management we delisted McDonald and now you're saying Weideman is better then McKay?? You really are a Doozy..

McKay is everything I wish Weideman was at. Weideman has done nothing since that Geelong game. That's nearly 3 years ago now.. 

McKay choked on a couple of occasions tonight. Or maybe you just see Melbourne players faults. 

I would much prefer to have O Mac on our list over Daw or M Brown. I reckon he has some talent up forward 

Weideman will come good. I really think he will be a quality forward for us

McKay also copped a punch in the guts in the first quarter and another in the chops in the 3rd (I think it was the 3rd). These are the things that Richmond does that get them across the line. We don't deal with this behaviour well, until we do we can't win a flag.

Richmond are ripe for the plucking... beating up on a young and weak Carlton outfit, Big deal. They’re gonna go down this year, I just hope it’s us riding them into the wall. ?

Could not agree more DD. Carlton are on the way up. I will be surprised if they don't make 8 or 9th this year.

The last bloke that did that for us was Tom Bugg and we hung him out to dry for the rest of his career and barely played a game.

Vince, Lewis and Bugg brought that physical edge to our side and have lacked it since those guys have left unfortunately.

Didn't even watch the game. Same opening game every year for the exact same result. 

If it was literally any two other teams I would have watched.

Well imo you missed a good game. The AFL are always going to start the season with two teams that have big supporter bases. Not sure why you have such a big problem with the 2 teams.

There are other teams with big supporter bases too.  

Why should those two clubs have a monopoly on opening the season, its unfair and its no wonder Richmond have had success lately when they start every year with a free win over a rabble.

Carlton are not a rabble in 2021 and by taking no interest you will be surprised when we struggle to beat them .

Yes it was round 1,  but it did seem that fitness and fatigue had a big hand in the way that game unfolded. longer quarters on top of less interchange. Players with elite endurance fitness are probably going to do well this season. 

Reading previous comments its been said that one of our strengths re stoppages is going to be reduced. I remember starting 2019 thinking  666 was going to help us, so Im not going to jump early on this.  Im just not convinced that the stoppages was one of our strengths anyway to be honest. As we've all noted 7000 times, being so predictable via inside players like Viney and Oliver  let other clubs feed off our inside work and then smash us on the outside....not once but  continually. So in one sense one of our biggest weaknesses may be  being reduced.  We may become harder to play against. 

So many questions! How will our game plan stand up in the new system? Is our fitness really superior with Burgo? If so will it deliver powerful results at the end of quarters?  Can all day runners like Tomlinson and Langdon take another step up in this situation? Can Hunt become a half back weapon? Can we Tmac hold down a key position again? Bring on 2021. cant wait!

Weideman is soft as [censored]. Often gets monstered by the opposition key back 

He does still get out bodied in the contest way too often.

Anyone look at the standard of last nights game and think we may be in trouble?

I certainly did.

Both teams were playing the game at a speed we can't sustain, particularly if we intend on hitting targets.

On that Basis why do we have the Queens birthday Monday fixture against Collingwood?

Do you thing someone else should get a go at it?

I noticed the importance of fast hands tonight, teams who handball the quickest will do well (bulldogs come to mind) 

Quick Hand ball to players in good position, not just quick handball to get rid of the ball

Knee replacement. Hopefully your back on your feet soon

Stay away unless you have a bad problem. Friend of mine had one a couple of years ago and it has been a disaster, Yes I do know people who have had good ones.

    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.

    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.
