Out: B Brown M Brown Tomlinson 

In: Weid McDonald May

 

Also tempting to bring the riv back, take sparrow out and slot Gus at HF. We are desperate for classy kicking forward of centre.

McDonald is done for the year

Petty is injured, so is TMac.

Ins: May, Rivers, Weid

Outs: Petty ( rest), BB, Hunt

We May have to look at blooding a couple of the kids.

I like all 3. We have to play Dogga or Max in f50 all game. Daw can chop out #1 ruck until Bbb finds some form.

I said last week that Sparrow had a poor game and wouldn't get dropped but tonight he was as bad as I've see him play.

I'd drop him personally. 

Dropping Ben Brown is the easy option but there is no way bringing in Sam Weideman improves us at all. If anything it makes us worse because he's he's not an AFL standard player time and time again.

I have no idea what the changes will like, but I can easily reel off 5 names I would drop straight away.

Agreed, Max is undoubtedly the better forward, but unfortunately he is also about three times better than Jackson in the centre. I'd probably play Jackson forward unless Daw is a complete liability in the ruck. We need two Gawns.

People are either entrenched in their anti-Weid glasses or didn't go to the game if they honestly think Ben Brown should stay in ahead of him after tonight.

Brown has about 100 good games up on Weideman. Even when out of form Brown still takes away the best defender. He is that much better than Weideman ever has or ever will be. 
Having said that, Mitch Brown is a bad bandaid and we need to bring Weideman in and let him play the year out with BB because there are no other options.

Sparrow is Weid 2.0

A good finals series but ultimately not AFL standard

Brown was shi te

But Weide was shi te last week, and somehow managed plenty of lead up possession in the Casey game... ??

Honestly,  I cgaf if it was BBB or Weid next week, but M Brown and Fritta provided the options tonight

Ben Brown has been poor nearly all year. Take off the ginger goggles.

History of good games means absolutely nothing.

Mitch Brown did nothing tonight mate, and for a bloke with 'fresh legs' he was as stationary as anyone in the forward line.

When was the last time Weideman wasn’t poor playing senior footy? 2018? 
Weideman commands 0 respect from the opposition. You drop BB and suddenly Fritta has to play on a FB twice his height.

Well. I’m not panicking as much as you all. That was a 50/50 game just like the swannies game last year. A few umpiring decisions change and so does the result. 
 

We are 10-2 and have a lot of improving to come. 
 

In: the best defender in the comp, a Salem and Harmes with a game under their belt  

Out: poor old Tomo

We will beat the Pies by our usual 2-3 goals. Hope you lot turn up to the game.

Probably when he kicked 3 against the Tigers in round 6, or maybe when he kicked 4 in round 3...

Here's a brief comparison for this year of that 'historically good' Brown vs the 'disrespected' Weid.

GOALS
Brown 1.7 Weid 1.5

MARKS
Brown 3.2 Weid 3.2

TACKLES
Brown 0.6 Weid 1.2

DISPOSALS
Brown 8.1 Weid 8.2

CONTESTED MARKS
Brown 0.8 Weid 1.3

It's bizarre how people stick to their perceptions now matter the factual evidence. Brown is badly out of form.

How did McDonald go from being selected to out for the season? What’s the source on his injury?

Is there any veracity to this claim beyond a rumour from the gameday thread alleging TMac told some random spectator at the G that he was having surgery and would be out for the year? Seems an unusually detailed set of information to relay... 🤔

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    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.

    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.
