joeboy

Recommended Posts

Oliver - Hollywood Olly returns

Viney - selfish and wasteful 

Gawn - tried but unconvincing 

Petracca - failed important moments

Salem - not as dominant 

Fritsch - took his chances

Brayshaw - regularly butchered disposals

Langdon - couldn’t hurt opponents

Jordon - was rarely sighted

Hibberd - never looked controlled 

Lever - safe without dominance

Pickett - needed more involvement 

Neal-Bullen - retention not justified 

Spargo - great first quarter

Hunt - successfully provided run

vandenBerg - a momentum killer

Brown - had little effect

Rivers - has lost impact

McDonald - was almost unsighted

May - safe and reliable 

Petty - continued to impress 

Jackson - just a game

Ridiculously harsh on Salem & AVB.  

Salem was a rock & AVB was a terrific game for someone who hadn't played for a very long time and had very little VFL football.  He had a big hand in 3 goal scoring chains and came back from a huge bump.

Way too complimentary on Gawn who had his worst game in his last 50 odd.

Jackson wasn't just a game, he was once again, very poor and just isn't giving enough.

Disagree on Gawn.  He tried very hard.  That chase in the third was immense.  My Hawthorn supporting mates said they win by 4 goals if Gawn wasn't playing.

The only reason they drew was that he was getting clear hit outs and everything went to Mitchell, Worpel & O'Meara.

Also, can't stand the smiling and lack of intensity.  The Captain sets the level of intensity and fanaticism  Never see Joel Selwood smiling!

I don't know who is a less convincing kick for goal, Jackson or Oliver. 

Will cost us finals, our sh*tty kicking.

I'm usually the first one to pot the umpires but not this time. The game should've been over at half time no questions asked, but we slackened off for 10 mins and lost the game. That's on our players.

Picture this, 3/4 time, our premiership hopes are on the line in terms of a top 4 finish. We recognise that we need to start winning more contests. So what happens at the first centre bounce in the last quarter? A straight forward centre clearance and kick to Lewis who strolls in to take the mark and goals. Enough said. 

It was a pea hearted effort by all players and coaches tonight.

Don’t agree with many joeboy. Trac and Clarry were among our best and what was safe and reliable about May? Poor game imo

Very selfish game by Viney... 11 tackles! He obviously is trying too hard! 32 Disposals... He should stick with 6 or 7 to warrant the criticism that the astute arm-chair critics of Demonland spit out! Only third for the team on metres gained... well that caps it off!

You're too caught up in the stats movement. The turnovers killed us. Time and time again.

    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. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    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
