NON MFC: Rd 02 2021

Recommended Posts

North's complete failure against the Suns doesn't bode well for staying in Victoria.

If they can't get a few wins and some decent crowds this year Tassie may be their new home in a year or two.

Just looked at our run home.. horrendous to say the least

would be good if a few of those 7-12 teams were out of the running early.

GWS is one of them. Loss today and fingers crossed another loss next week would severely dent their chances.

Who are the others.... Hawks and Sydney come to mind. Freo perhaps along with Carlton

Doesnt look too bad.  Its only horrendous if we allow it to be with our form.

Remember in 2018 the last two games were against the Eagles in Perth and GWS in the last game, and we won both.  We were dreading them when the fixture came out.

We have Adelaide at the MCG in the second last game this season.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

You take a tunnel-visioned opinion to new heights

The red mist comes over you like no other

So it doesn't matter how a team performs in the first half???? ... that makes zero sense

It's a sporting contest that lasts 120 minutes ... what happens in the last minute is connected to the other 119 minutes

But not according to Wyl the professor of twisted logic

You never cease to amaze!

Don't ever change ... we need the laughs

Of course it is all connected 

Don’t twist what i say. 

Doesn’t change the FACT that with 20 Seconds to go Brisvegas were 2 points down and should have been awarded a blatant Free Kick that the AFL have said the Umps got Wrong 

You think Brisvegas should just suck it up

Yeah I do actually

I've got no sympathy for a bunch of frontrunners.  They had their chances (especially in the first half) and blew it

And I couldn't care less about a few umpiring decisions ... to be fair Brisbane were gifted a few decisions their way in the first half.  Did you watch the game closely? 

Truth is you are blinkered with your hatred of Geelong

What's with the J instead of the G when spelling Geelong? 

And if we want to take it further than that they (Brisbane) along with numerous other clubs get their fair share of home town decisions on an ongoing basis

That's how sport works in case you were wondering.  And it will never change.  Wanting it to change won't make it change

But good luck with all that angst.  The sensible people worked it all out decades ago  ... you missed the boat

You keep saying you don’t care about Umpiring decisions, but others do

and you want to give me a hard time for it. 
the Umpire who missed that last decision needs to find another job

I don't get this either.

Anyway, it's great to have attacking footy back again ... I can't get enough of it at the moment.  What you're brought up on sticks, ds

This keeps up and the dashing wingmen/half backers and high flying forwards will return to the game

Swans have a dream fixture:  Teams they play twice: Suns, Giants, Ess, Freo and Saints.  Only the Saints made finals last year

Very hard to see the Swans not make finals this year and with that fixture they may even end up top 4..

Conversely thosr teams late in season might be dreading fronting the Dees.

The cola was a few years ago now and they paid a high price and imv an unfair price, for 'stealing' Buddy from under the Giant's noses.

The Swans are one of the best managed clubs in the AFL. They are well coached and seem to be excellent at player development - a lot of rookies become success stories at the Swans. 

I don't begrudge them.

And they had the good sense to select Logan McDonald at pick 4 in the draft. North, the fools, passed on him.

could be their buddy moment

as @Lucifer's Hero said, the swans are so well run that it's hard to see them 'losing' a player as talented as logan mcdonald, whereas north would have a hogan-a-like situation on their hands with the two wa sides no doubt chasing his signature at every opportunity

    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.
