I'm not too concerned how many BB kicks. I think he'll be a bit rusty. What it should do is let Fritsch off the leash now.

He was slumping but really got his touch back last week, if he can continue without having three blokes swarming him like last week due to the fact they're going to have to man up on Benny, we should hopefully get some more "connection".

God I hate that term. Go Dees.

Underdogs again. 

Completely agree. Fritter is not, and should not be our #1 forward target - therefore attracting unnecessary attention.

Now he won't be, and should have a lot more space!

I can't wait for the Ben Brown 5 possessions game only to have people roll out the 'he brought the ball to ground' bullish!t. which is code for doing nothing but drop marks.

Do you even hope you're wrong, or do you actually enjoy us losing?

Koochie used to be a fun on tv,then the big money took over now he is a self opinionated bore,love to beat em by 10 goals and watch him bleed through the eyes

Just another AFL boys club type with a huge ego and a second rate breakfast TV show where the cash cow is the most interesting and informative part of the show - so Iv'e been told.

hard to believe spargo is playing his 50th game tonight ,am a big fan so hope he plays a blinder

He owes us one, a blinder. He must concentrate on his roving, not be left in a one-on-one situation or worse. A rover like him is an asset to run clear to the ball, with the ball, accurately disposing to advantage, and repeat. He has these skills and we need these skills more than ever. Go Spargs! Give 'em a bit of short-Rs magic.

Well, folks, it's nearly game time. Best wishes to all. Suicide is not an option, whatever the outcome. The key to Demon success tonight is: mongrel, attitude, opportunity, heartlessness, execution skills, 2-way running and outside support. Carna Dees.

And what are you going to say if he kicks 3 goals or more?

Spargo playing game 50.

Langers game 100.

Maxy game number 150.

Coming of a loss last week. 

The boys will have been waiting 12 months for the chance to atone for last years smashing. 

Big Bad Benny Brown in with a point to prove.

Perfect conditions - light winds, likely no rain, but some cloud cover to make sure it doesn't get dewy.

Flew in yesterday and being a night game have the full day to cross all the Ts and dot the Is.

So preparation perfect, including a run last night at Adelaide Oval to get a feel for the ground.

I've tipped us.

Go redlegs.

Convinced me binman...great work

Lol it’s funny because it’s true, then our small forwards will be praised for laying tackles and “forward pressure” instead of actually kicking goals

Far out, you two have already started criticising us for losing a game that hasn't been played yet!

I know there are arguments for a Melbourne win but I don’t give us a chance. I’m guessing it’s my MFCSS kicking in. 

Oh Ye of little faith FND !! 

I picked you as a stauncher supporter than that. Give it at least until half time before you toss in the towel.

Dees to grind out a win. Hoping Harmes can have more of an impact- we need players like him running through the centre and banging goals from 50. As other posters have said, I don't expect too much from Brown, but he will take a player. The smalls should do well. Port playing very tall in the backline.

Can see their posts, Olisik and Dr.D.

Just some devils advocate types, jaded by the years on the our roller-coaster,  made up of if's, maybe's and never can.

Nothing too unpalatable to see, other than some obvious, though antagonistic views. Good to get a diversity of opinion.

Thanks Brownie. I felt sorry for Fritta because you are correct ...at times he had three defenders to battle against.

The other bonus is even though bbb is a leading fwd he is still tall enough with a good leap that can stop contested marking inside our 50 and allow our crumbers to get some action.

    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
