I’d like to see Bedford come in for Kozzy this week… he’s earned his chance and Kozzy needs a break in the VFL; hopefully he’ll also take a break from believing the hype.

Not sure his earnt his chance? Hasn't kicked a goal in his past 2 VFL games and only had 9 disposal last week and was barely sighted.

And Weideman is a high half forward, but you seem to have no problem with him being a Full Forward in the AFL side. 

Is this your thing now? Trying to troll me by misrepresenting things I've said?

Here's some facts for you slugger.

Ah ok, at least you're admitting to trolling now and I can just put you on ignore.

Have a good school holidays fella.

Hahhaha. As opposed to facepalm emojing everyone’s posts and not really want to engage in constructive debate. I’m still waiting on the lesson on social media business marketing ??

Bowey could come in if the Match Committee decided to persist with Hunt in the forward line in Pickett's place. 

Not sure the Hunt forward experiment was a winner on the weekend tbh. I would think he goes back again this week IMO.

Hunt’s the most accurate set shot for goal at the club.

He should stay forward and BBB and Melksham should come in to sort out our disastrous set shots for goal that have plagued us for most of the year.

Reckon his sample size is a bit small to be saying he's the best set shot, and his lack of awareness against GWS when forward will mean he'll go back to where he's found his niche IMO. I'm not totally against the idea, just for mine it doesn't seem that likely.

Definitely keen on Brown and Melksham coming in, but might not make a huge difference if we keep going slow around the boundary. That's the main tweak needed for me, centre clearances will help that potentially too.

What 3 forwards do you have coming out to have all of Hunt, Brown and Melksham in there?

According to the stats I can find on Stats Insider, that's not actually correct. Not even in our top 5.

Stats Insider has data on all set shots from Round 1 2018 to Round 6 2021. I've gone through and here are all the players on our list who have a set shot accuracy of at least 50% (minimum 10 shots in the time period):

  1. Daw - 71% (14 set shots)
  2. TMac - 63% (104 shots)
  3. Jones - 63% (19 shots)
  4. B Brown - 61% (178 shots)
  5. M Brown - 60% (52 shots)
  6. ANB - 59% (32 shots)
  7. Hunt - 57% (35 shots)
  8. Weideman - 56% (55 shots)
  9. Petty - 55% (11 shots)
  10. Gawn - 52% (42 shots)
  11. Fritsch - 51% (92 shots)
  12. Melksham - 51% (65 shots)
  13. Tomlinson - 50% (18 shots)

And then below 50%:

  1. Brayshaw - 48% (27 set shots)
  2. Spargo - 44% (18 shots)
  3. Petracca - 42% (60 shots)
  4. Harmes - 41% (29 shots)
  5. Langdon - 36% (28 shots)
  6. Viney - 36% (11 shots)
  7. Pickett - 36% (14 shots)
  8. Oliver - 24% (25 shots)

 Oliver, Pickett and Petracca kill us..Wow its like our whole midfield can't kick. Gawn is better than the lot of them

 

I thought Spargo was better than that. Didn't he kick 8g 1b last year?

But all three have kicked well earlier in the year We need a refresh on the things that hit us to Top earlier in the year.

We have become defensive complacent and let our standards slip.

Spargo's 60% from snaps but only 44% from set shots. And the data does go back to 2018.

But you're right, last year he kicked 8.1, with the only miss being a set shot.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
