What was the point of getting Schache we could have just kept Weiderman, we invest in another premier ruckman & yet win the hit outs but don’t dominate the clearances… is it structure or players not working hard enough 

Weideman indicated he wanted to go, so we managed a trade for Schache to cover for Weideman.

Which was no surprise as he got absolutely no continuity at senior level. He’s been doing well at Essendon. A change of scenery was definitely good for him. I’m not sure he was going to progress any further at Melbourne. 
 

I am still mad that we gave up Hunt for nothing.

So you want to replace our entire forward line with what? Casey’s forward line, so you can then complain about them?

Seems unlikely to be a successful decision.

Jeez pf we could have won both games with an ounce of luck or some decent umpiring you can’t write off the whole team. Also based on Casey form the only three deserving players on the weekend were Tomlinson, Schache and Brown.!!!

Out of that lot I'd drop Spargo, rather give Chandler more opportunity, Nibbler is doing his job imo. I do agree Tmac looks cooked probably give BB one more chance.

Pickett seems to be second guessing himself as are alot of our players not taking the first option and stopped playing on instinct.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

While we are at it let’s drop Petracca. I’m sick to death of him missing goals. Trash player. Directly to Casey and would trade for a third rounder.

Never rated Jayden, so I'm comfortable with it.

I reckon I’m just sentimental because he was one of my favorites and I feel badly for him because he was so close to winning a flag, and never wanted to leave the club. 

I know rationally that he’s just an ok player and would make no difference to our team currently. 
But watching him play for that abomination of a side, is very sad.

He has X value potential....and isnt fazed by a wettish dewy slippery ball.

Will at least stop us dump kicking into the forward line.

Milkshake stared in our last gasp victory against the blues last year. 

Our form seemed better when he was in the side early in the year.

I'm Sold. Milkshake is our Talisman haha

Out of all the players that left last year it's Hunty the one that I feel for the most. Baker or Weids I couldn't give a stuff about.

Had he not done his ankle we would be talking about a premiership player.

Unfortunately he's now playing for a trash WAFL club which to me just doesn't look or feel right after all the [censored] years he went through.

How long does Goodwin last if he loses to Voss?

 

Depends on  whether Melbourne again wants to look like a football version of a banana republic. Thankfully those days appear to be over.

I really feel for Milkshake. In the finals last year he was essentially our main man down forward and his main strength - excellent kicking - just disappeared. He could have been the key.

Carlton love to attack through the corridor and quickly, they also like to switch the play (our Achilles’ heels).

We need to study the Blues vs Lions game earlier in the year. Brisbane denied them the corridor at all costs and so must we.

I've read this four times. I might be misunderstanding your point, but don't these two statements contradict each other?

An additional tall defender must come in. I guess it has to be one of Tomlinson (most likely) or Smith or Schache. I'm not a huge fan of any of those gents, but Lever can't play on McKay or Curnow. As has been said repeatedly, he's not a particularly good one on one defender. He needs to be the third man up/inteceptor.

Found myself screaming “YOU’RE NOT THAT GUY” at Harmes on too many occasions last Saturday 

Apart from the goal that Fritta gifted him everything else was error ridden. 

Having another look at the replay, ANB gave him a run for his money as well. Both liabilities.

The Chandler and McVee experiments are probably over.

They aren’t experiments they have shown enough, maybe they need tests but both of them have had impacts across their lines

    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.

    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. Date of Birth: 4 J
