Oliver/Brayshaw/Viney/ANB/Petracca/Gawn - Brave

Petty & May : Damage done on way down but Brave

Lever : Truth is a defence in a Libel suit.

Sparrow/Rivers : work on skills

Salem : NQR (Physically)

Spargo /Kossie: increase involvement

Hibberd/Melsham : Buy a watch (Their time has come)

Jackson : not our worry it seems

Brown : needs another forward

I love the joeboy 3 words every week, so I won't criticise, I'll just give an alternative and completely fail at the three word part:

Gawn - hampered, tried, taps still sucked

Petracca - hampered, still a gun, moments of brilliance

Oliver - tagged out of it, dug the terminator eye

Viney - as joeboy said, had no influence

Neal-Bullen - good first quarter, then standard nibbler

Harmes - good overhead, but in the wrong place too often

Brayshaw - one of the few contested winners for the night

Petty - my man, superhero effort

Salem - why can't he kick anymore?

Hunt - missing too often, not a great defender, not enough drive

Jackson - love him, but was wearing Chris Dawes gloves tonight (I also love Chris Dawes)

Langdon - tried, honestly was decent

May - just a gun, spent all day angry at his teammates though, wasn't the defence's fault, guy needs to chill

Lever - 50/50 game

Brown - yeah, that was pretty bad

Pickett - love him, one of the few highlights for us, constantly dangerous

Melksham - garbage

Sparrow - just horrendous

Fritsch - gave no pressure, reliable set-shot, unwilling to put his body on the line, disappointing overall

Hibberd - was ok, couldn't expect miracles with the rest of the mess

Rivers - messed up pretty much every opportunity, but he'll be better next year

Spargo - too slow, can't kick 30m, not enough pressure, missed opportunities

team overall - not enough pressure, too conservative, hella banged up

coaching - what the hell is our attacking structure? We're so conservative that we're unable to score, reliant entirely on moments of brilliance from Kossy, Oliver or Petracca. Way too focused on not being scored against that we're completely unable to move it forward. Horrible to watch all year, even when we were winning. Sort it out. Lots to work on over summer.

Don’t use tht phrase. Annoys me no end. What on earth makes winning the premiership last year any different, other.than the disappointment of diehard fans not being able to attend? Finals played in front of crowds. Full length games. I really hate this notion that last year was some sort of undeserved premiership.

It was 1000% deserved but it plain sucks that they won a flag when we couldn’t see it. 

And then a year later we get dished up a woeful finals series at our home.

Yeah I agree, was using it in jest, but also to highlight the rubbish that gawn and co continually spewed earlier in the year about the drive to win it in front of the fans.

    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

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    2024 Player Reviews: #10 Angus Brayshaw

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed. Date of Birth: 9 January 1996 Height: 188cm Games MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 167 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 49
