Recommended Posts

Gawn - probably broke even

Petracca - was rarely clean

Oliver - disposals were iffy

Rivers - good and evil

Petty - not a forward!

van Rooyen - tried but failed

Fritsch - career worst game

Bowie - loose but improved 

Turner - was rarely convincing 

McVee - needs a break

May - was generally effective 

Lever - often found out

Grundy - had little influence 

Langdon - couldn’t get involved

Pickett - some occasional cameos

Sparrow - some important touches

Viney - four quarter endeavour

Chandler - was well held

Harmes - had some impact

Brayshaw - spirit and conviction 

Jordon - another bland game

Hunter - some costly options 

Neil-Bullen - couldn’t get involved

Yeah I thought McVee had one of his better games.

Generally not a fan of Brayshaw and his NQR moments but he has lifted in the last 2 weeks and been important.

May floundered again.

so we only had about 5 good players, yet still won? It was a hard fierce game from both teams and fortunately we came out on top.

joeboy your 3 word player analysis is most anticipated up here in the far flung regions of the realm. A little like the old Sporting Globe at the local newsagents when you got home from the 'G on Saturday evening. Especially after a closely fought win.

May we urge you to continue the good work! So pleased you stuck a few little gems in to heighten interest and awareness.

Rivers - good and evil

Had to work very hard after that smothered kick resulted in a late Suns goal.

Brayshaw - spirit and conviction

Doesn't get better than that, a truly on the road to Damascus moment.

Would love to add this one...

Gawn - At Witts end

Hopelessly negative! I only read it to see how far you are from reality. This one takes the cake! Those that think BBB is a certainty may not have watched Casey. JVR may miss due to collision, not poor form! He makes contests and hits the pack hard.

Fair point. I think we had about  7 good players and 5 average performances by another 5. Gcs are a good side.  They way outmarked us and we looked exposed down back quite often. I really wish Petty could return there. I think our tackling pressure was very good and forced Gcs to make some poor choices at times. Its hard to say if we played poor or they played well. I hope its a little from each column. Both our back and fwd lines have been a work in progress this year and last night reflected this. I know I looked at Gcs form and expected a 7 goal win. I mean that's what a flag contender should do to a nascent club like gcs. But the competition is much tighter this season and we are a team that is still experimenting with their structure. I also think the fact that we have been to SA, WA and Qld twice out of our 8 games takes somewhat of a toll on the players.

Their Midfield in Rowell, Anderson & Swallow are definitely not the weakest in the AFL. Anderson is an absolute gun (A potential Tracc) , Rowell is another Viney . And Wiks is a genuinely good ruckman (and team man) !!!

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    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. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    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

    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
