It's not something I have much givenagree, but I can't agree.

Friiiter and Wattsy actually both have quite a lot in commo. Both:

- smooth movers

- elite field kicks

- elite and super reliable shots at goal

- brilliant one on one in marking contests

- have/had good hands

- have/had high footy iq

- have/had similar disposal average 

- criticised for not being sufficiently hard at it

- have/had fans questioning their best 22 lock status 

But, apart from all of the above, an you say not liking grappling with defenders and playing at HB, id agree they have nothing in common.

One good, one no good?

    Thinking about it now a JVR, Jefferson and Turner forward line could be something special in a few years time, looking forward to hopefully seeing them combine this weekend. All have some different attributes that might compliment each other, only time will tell

    I think this season is a must breakout year for Jvr. He seemed to tread water in 24.

    Jefferson looked great but one game...hold everything.

    Turner is the one I hold the most hope for. He's listed at around only 89 kegs but he plays a lot stronger than that for sure.

    I would love to see Milkshake back but with his age and body anything is a bonus.

    Agree beaver but sadly I don't think Turner has much more upside. Useful player at best. He will play ok against the poorer side but the better sides will find him out.

    If we got Jack Watts at pick 31 we would have been pretty happy overall.

    Disagree OD Disco hasn’t played a lot of footy yet, his game against Suns last year was a bit of an eye opener think he kicked 4. With Disco, JvR, Matty Jefferson playing together should also free up Fritta and bring Chin and Sharp into play more.🙏🤞

    It all went to [censored] when he was subbed off!

    Yep.. structure went down the dunny! However having done one myself broken hand is potentially better than broken wrist, but depends on what part of the hand!

    Has broken hand been confirmed or was it a finger nail?

    Do you still think Turner is any more than average Deezone?

    Ha ha still early days OD, I’d give him another half dozen games to see what he can produce, he could possibly end up down back but not writing him off yet.😁👍

    Riewoldt no 1 pick …Franklin no 5 pick …Amiss no 8. The King twins have def not lived up to the lofty expectations..yet ..Hawkins was a very slow starter. I have no idea whether Matthew will make it but have zero interest in saying 2025 is a make or break year for him. I want to at least see him play a few AFL games before casting any aspirations. I do know for a fact that the coaches believe in him …he doesn’t need to be a Franklin or Riewoldt …there probably will never be players like them but if he can play his part in our young developing and promising forward line ..I’ll be happy ..

    Ben King is an absolute star. Max hasn't come on unfortunately I think he will show it against us on the weekend especially if May doesn't play. Ridiculous to say this is make or break for Jefferson he has at least to 2027 to find his feet.

    He like Petty isn't a forward and he is suffering because it especially when you consider Howes gets a game down back talk about a player that won't make it. He and Laurie have showed nothing and I'm losing patience with Bowey and Woewodin.

    What your saving is we have no KPFs I agree I have been saying it ever since Brown in 2021. He was injured etc after that.

    I know it was a devastating loss to a poor side pf but you need to keep your sense of humor. I thought it was quite funny.

    Is it possible that Howes Bowey Laurie and Woe are all being played out of position. 

    Surely Bowey and Howes could be tried on the wing or half forward line! ? 

    Could turn Woe into a tagged? And Laurie is he an on baller or elsewhere?

    Or they are simply  not senior AFL level talents 58er. IMO they fall into the group of too good at vfl level NQR at senior level.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
