POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Brisbane

McCartney used to say to the effect "when you're watching on TV and you see more Demons than on the screen than opposition you know we're going well and are going to win" - I think we've changed tack in the intervening period.

Of which 4 of the 5 are or were AA standard. Their's are hacks now except AMT

To be fair, Hooker is having a reasonable year for an old man and Stringer's still playing his one good game a month.

Thank you will do.

If you grab a coffee anywhere at the Entertainment Quarter they will stamp your parking ticket and it makes it a flat rate of something like $15. They'll even do it at the pub as you're walking by going to the game.

He was condescending towards Richmond for years. Not so much any more. He loves a whipping boy and until we have ultimate success we will be one of them.

He is campaigning hard on the throwing thing. Goes after the Dogs players for it as well, not just Claz. Perhaps I’m biased cause I didn’t see many if any throws in that vision.

I think the key to Dermie is not take him too seriously. But I understand getting riled up over the lack of respect. BT is a prime offender which would be tolerable if he wasn’t such a dumb oaf at the same time.

Brereton is an old fashioned bully boy and he used to play his football like someone out of the 1950's where you could get away with wacking someone in the back of the head or crunching them when they were vulnerable. He and a lot of the Hawks older players had/have no respect for the Melbourne footy club because we played football and weren't thugs. Plus when we were on top we used to destroy them on the field and their coach, Kennedy, changed their way of playing and swore we wouldn't do it anymore.t hey named them Kennedy'd commandos.

If you can get a look at a Victoria v South Australia game in 1986, where he tried to be the tough boy with the skipper of SA, Chris McDermott, who was as hard as nails, he copped a hiding, physically and football wise as well. He had this idiotic grin on his face that showed he was hurt but would never show it, go on hit me again. 

Danny Hughes used to stick it up BT when he played against us and I don't think he's ever forgotten that. In one particular game Taylor actually threw a tantrum and went berserk, it was the funniest thing I've seen on a football field.

TMac is on about $800k a year I think so not sure that really holds true 

Brisbane would have got him much cheaper with MFC paying a fair bit of the $800k for 2021. His current contract finishes this year.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    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. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    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. Date of Birth: 4 J

    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.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    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
