I think everyone of Oliver's kicks have gone straight to a lions player.

Harmes needs to loft but he's certainly not alone.

Bbb trying and doing very well.

Jv isn't fit. 

Come on Tmac show some leadership.

 

I understand the last one from the middle with seconds to go... but most of his others have pretty been dump kicks down the line in hope without even looking.  High school footy

Reading some of the foam in here is literally making me sick. You've got people all week basically guaranteeing we'll win all tough and everything. Now a lot of those same people are jumping off and saying season over. More bile than Sydney Harbour, you have literally become the arrogance of the other sides like Geelong and Hawthorn that you let us know how much you hate on a weekly basis.

Pull your heads out of your collective rear ends and get behind this team for [censored]'s sake. I know it's a terrible situation, yes I'm really annoyed how we are playing but reach deep down inside and find that belief you had earlier. They need us.

Luke Hodge is the most dull, uninspired commentator in a very deep field of dull uninspiring commentators. He’s so biased about Brisbane, but even then he can’t muster the slightest inflection in his voice to seem enthusiastic. 

It’s like listening to a car horn that only goes off to point out the obvious - so basically a car alarm that shouts out ‘I’m a car alarm, I’m a car alarm’.

can not stand him.

We're still in this.

The positives in this is besides the Petty brain fade we were able to wrestle it back that quarter.

Petracca and Oliver have been poor but they have upside to really stand up and give us some drive and clearances through the midfield.

We're getting smashed around the clearance. If we can really wrestle this back then we're back on! Getting beaten in the contested possession but again if we can minimise this then we'll be fine.

Only 3 goals! Confident we'll strike back I mean, we can't play any more poorly then that now.

Poor Maxy 😭😭😭

The team look so flat since he went off just not running, not getting our hands on the footy. They just want to go home I reckon. Still, it's only 20 points if our mids pull their fingers out and get hands on the ball we could pinch it but looking extremely unlikely.

We can win this? We can;t play as badly the second half. 

Grundy was starting to even the stoppage contest. We were getting our hands on the ball.

3rd quarter will tell the tale but win the quarter by 2 goals and we'll overrun them

all dependent on us shaking off the first half malaise of course. but we have big time players in Trac, Clarry, Lever. and Fritsch showed his class on the siren taking a brilliant goal and slotting true.

Come on dees. You can do this.

I haven’t given up this game. 

Me either.  Our scope for improvement in immense if the coaches and leaders can get them properly aroused.

Not trying to make an excuse but I am just wondering how much the hard surface of the ground is not being handled well by us. A surface that they would not have trained on or played on. We seem to be missing / not picking up the bounce of the ball

Na. We are  off by  60 per cent. 2nd to the ball. Kicks to nobody. Mids ball watching. Fumbles a plenty. Umps dodgy. Spirits dampened by Max out. Soft tackles. Not enough running. Some playing as if we've lost already. But we have stopped their scoring and won the 2nd quarter. So by some alternate laws of footy we are still in it.

Can c7 get rid of brayshaw? Is there a petition somewhere?

Good news that Max is moving about.

He also has great difficulty with past participles: “would of went”, “could’ve came” etc.

Chandler, TMac, Brayshaw are not performing at the required level. I'd risk to say they are not in our best 23.

And the rest Oliver, Tracc, Petty to name a few more. We haven’t played disorganised rubbish like this since 2012. 
 

it’s a great game the umpires can’t bounce the ball, the boundary umpires can’t throw the ball in properly and we can’t take a chest mark! And FFS don’t try to tackle “Shoulders” Ashcroft, every time we touch him it goes high and he gets a free!

In Round 12 2021, at the Showgrounds, we were 20 points down at half time to Brisbane. Their talls were massacring us and we couldn't move the ball.

We won that game by 22. The half time score was similar to this: 8.6.54 to 5.4.34. Ended 11.9.75 to 14.13.97.

We have turned games around before. Not much in 2022 because most of the time we led them early and if anything got clawed back late, but we did it famously against Geelong in Round 23 2021 as well.

I hope Goody is focusing on the positives, as much as he can. They can barely play any better. We can hardly play worse. The margin's only 20 despite how much we've been belted in the middle. Oliver and Petracca are having minimal influence. We're dropping marks all over the place.

I hope we choose to view this second half as character building and season-defining. We can win this. I hope the players know that.

Abbie Holmes just asked Richo is Max was getting around the boys still??????

No Abbie. He’s cracked the [censored] and gone to the pub with his mates. Honestly. What is this garbage on Channel 7?

I hate the footy on TV. I’m forced to watch the game I love through this prism of idiots.

    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.

    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 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.
