JVR in for fritta. Anymore changes might be too much for the selection comitee.

ANB, Smith and even Kozzy may need a spell at Casey tbf.

Could not give a Tosca,season done, time to shake the joint up and play JVR and blood, Woey, Jefferson, and any others that have played well at Casey!

Why suggest any changes? Goodwin will back the team in as they ‘did a lot of good things’ this week. No point in rewarding anyone who may be in any form in the 2s, that would make sense. Got to stick with the same group. Goodwin would probably pick fritsch this week if allowed

JVR for Smith

Unfortunately there's no stand out small forward at Casey for Chandler. AMW had a good game today but has no solid bank of form.

Melksham did little in conditions that should have suited him

Bowey forward and Howes in down back if you want to be adventurous

Forgot Fritsch' injury... Smith or Schache (not sure)

Might be time for one of Gawn or Grundy to have a spell. Neither are playing well. 

absolutely agree. we can’t carry both and give up run. with JVR and Brown and Petty back we are far too tall

No way Smith goes out.

Chandler or Pickett out before him.

JVR for Fritsch and we are still a medium/tall forward short so ideally need someone else. 

Dare I say Tomlinson in to the backline and Petty forward.

Why not? He’s not good enough.

Thought today would’ve been the day to try that considering the weather…but I guess I have hindsight on my side??? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Any chance Tomlinson can get a game before he tells Goodwin to GAGF & play every week for another team next year?

It was disgusting that he was dropped after a career best performance on KBDay against this year’s (more than likely)premiers 

It was a complete lack of selection in integrity and the players must be confused on what the base level of performance is to maintain their spot in the side.

I think we are going to have to get around 85 Inside 50s to win this one…

Maybe. Or does the ratio of goals/i50 continue to decline the higher the number of i50s?

You know how like in video games, if you’re way out in front (racing game, Streetfighter whatever) the algorithm makes sure your competitors can catch up…

Ok.. so change is need.

Out- Grundy, ANB, Kosi, Harmes & Fritta

In- JVR, Tomlinson, Woey, Laurie & Oliver. 
Bowey or Salem to spend midfield minutes, Laurie needed forward as he can actually hit a target. Petty forward with JVR and Brown.

    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. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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 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.

    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.
