Unless he is tagging, I’d have Harmes on the wing. Likes to run and plays better when he has space in front of him. Just need to get him to commit to non-stop running for potentially little reward.

I'm not so sure Harmes has the self control to play the wing position?
A lot of Gus' role seems be to position himself in a hole to create perceived pressure, not great for the disposals tally, but super important for the rest of the team.

Jackson looked better?

 

Has transformed himself in the last few weeks.

His marking is great and now unlike earlier this year is doing what fwds should....score goals. 

And reminds me of that song...

I was only nineteen.😁

How many of Dr. D's proclamations came true? The us finishing fifth one is up there with 'bring peace for our time' after the Munich agreement was signed. And that got nixed last week!

Or has he given us more prognostications for us to debunk moving forward? :roos:

Another slight complaint was Petty when matched up one on one with Fogarty

Bit harsh I reckon, Col. Fogarty is enormous, and uses it very well. He also had the ideal position on the ball when he took his marks. Unless you’re similarly built, it’s near impossible to shift a guy like that in that situation. Not sure there’s any more Petty could have done. He was excellent today as our key defender otherwise.

Thought we were lazy at the start and later on, but a stunning win. Loved seeing Fitch on spark. 7.0. What an effort.

Now we have equaled or highest ever winning season (1956.)

Go Dees.

Would love to see Petty up forward. He is a marking beast and tough as nails.

That’s where he’ll end up, but shhhh…..

The fifth place finish, not the Munich agreement.

I wrote after the first quarter that Fritta may have been stoned. My judgement was reconfirmed as not being without merit as he hadn't had a touch. If he was on something, it must have started peaking after the quarter time break as he played magnificently with the opportunities he was given.

 

Whatever he was on, let’s just hope he takes a bunch more of it next Saturday!

It wasn't a pantsing by any measure. Just a slight thing I noticed. Any team that holds another to 60 odd points hasn't been opened up by any measure. And Harry contributed to that defensive effort for sure.

We get May back next week, who is the ideal candidate for those one on one match ups, and Petty can play his role as an interceptor and spoiler roaming along the backline. All will be perfectly copacetic (instead of good with a slight imperfection). Fogarty would have had much harder time getting body position on May.

Yep, May would obviously be a better match, for every reason. I liked Harry’s game in his absence a lot though.

Listening on Fox I felt the song was slightly subdued. Perhaps me singing along drowned them out a bit.

The  score against from turnovers, were a worry in the thirst half. We need to keep control of it.

Moths to flame at times.

When the Crows were going quickly, we looked a mess.  

Used the switch of play early, then not much as the game wore on.  

Stood up when it was their time Petty, Bbb, Friita, Langdon, Spargo, Salem. 

Oliver's goal kicking, yips again. Worked his way into the game. 

Harmes worked hard all game, liked his linking handball, gets and receives. 

We fell off a few when we tackled. 

 Tracc had answers, composure and became the steadying influence. 

Gawn and Jackson dominance is beautiful. 

Worried about Sparrow, disposal efficiency has fallen.

JJ, Rivers, Petty and Bowey playing well.

Well done Smith, ready if there are injuries to the big backs.

Some soft frees to us.

Need more outside run.

The G is ours!

Forge the the game I still can't get over Fritsch! When was the last time we had someone kick 7? 

Hardly touched it in the first quarter, that was up there in Farmer 2000 vs Collingwood territory!

Yep credit to the crows who knew how to crowd our fwd line. Its hard to do for four quarters.

And  when  Fritta has room he is an excitement machine.

For his size and weight seven is supreme.

Has an uncanny sense of where the goals are and often snaps truly.

Great time to get back to his best.

And while coaches have to worry about him...bb will be lurking...jacko is clunking them and kicking goals and Tmac will come back in.

Anb has been kicking a few as well.

Im hoping Kozzie is a wild card in the finals and our forward line becomes better than our defence.

I feel sorry for Joel Smith who would normally be a shoe in next week based on a game like that, but unfortunately will make way for Maysy. Didn't put a foot wrong.

Im not so sure .. Depending on matchups I think it a line ball between him and Hibbo. Both were great today (especially Smith) 

Special praise to Spargo who put together a very good 4 quarter effort today! 

My changes assuming fitness

May for Hibbo

Viney for Sparrow

T Mac for Melksham 

with Gus and Jordan lucky but might still go depending on if they want Hibbo in the side

Also Harmes to do a Tough as nails tagging job take no prisoners on Dangermouse!

I reckon you might be right, Smith could stay.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    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.

    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
