Recommended Posts

According to McGuire on Footy Classified...

ADMIN UPDATE: I have spoken with the club and have been assured that the Round 22 Adelaide match will be played in Melbourne at the MCG.

that'll mean some $$ for the club at any rate, and a crowd allowed at the game - the game at the g vs crows was definitely not going to be performed before a live audience

brutal schedule before finals in terms of travel but also an opportunity to galvanise; since the swans left sydney and worked together as a travelling and hubbed mob they've been one of the form teams of the competition

Wait what? Why?

This game is scheduled at the MCG where we can still play game. Why on earth is this being moved to [censored] Darwin?

 

I'm guessing Club's request to recover the $800k we lost when the Alice game was cancelled.

If we do end up having crowds back for that round and this game is moved up there I’ll be ringing the club for a proportional refund on my tridents membership. 

we’re an unassisted club that got smashed financially ( and worse than most others) in a year we should have creamed it. You do you and what you feel is right … but i’m looking to donate more.

What a way to alienate the majority of your membership.

This game was probably going to have crowds at the G and now there’s talk of all finals being played in Perth if you believe the media.

GC- Perth- Darwin- Geelong. Great preparation for finals…

We must be near broke if we’ve initiated this.

Our form at the G has hardly been inspiring recently. Perhaps getting out of Melbourne and playing in warmer climes might do us some good and inject some energy back into us

Also the hub last year was credited as the catalyst for the game plan gelling. Could afford the opportunity to re-focus on roles and system. Steven May reckoned it helped the group bond as well

Metricon to Darwin is manageable. The 3rd leg of the trip might be difficult but again they'll be staying in a resort in WA so hardly a major imposition

We'll get some sun and have a chance to bond and re-focus so this could all work in our favor

Hi Wellsy. Yup, I get all that, I really do. I had no problem letting the club keep my $800 from last year have no intention of asking for anything back for the games we've been locked out of this year but they can't be doing this for games we could legitimately attend.

Sorry but that’s insanity. Are we trying to win a flag or have we given up?

Also if small crowds are allowed by then it’s a complete slap in the face to us paid up members who sink so much money into the club each year. 
I would be ropeable if this is true!

I hope they haven't put money ahead of our season.. FFS we aren't mid range [censored] kickers this year!

This game in Darwin will be at Night, it'll be hot and slippery and it will stuff up our recovery for R23.

If they club have requested this, I've had a gutful. We've lost more than half a years worth of home games to covid and now another game is going.. Can't see this hurting us at all ?

I'm not keen on the travel aspect either and would prefer not to play in Darwin at all. The only reason to do so is financial

But time away gives the group a chance to bond and perhaps re-energise and re-find some form away from Melbourne

    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. 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

    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
