Got a decent game here. Tauru looking really, really good overhead.

I couldn't watch it today. Can you both give a quick run down how the NGA players went?

app has ah-mu as the leading goalkicker with 3 for stingrays in a 6 point win, and hynes 2 goals 2

langford another dominant game i presume, judging from the stats?

Interesting. I missed the first quarter where it said Hynes had 2. He then kicked the first goal of the last quarter. Since I didn't see the first quarter, I can't confirm.

Riak did quite well 1v1, his defensive positioning is still a little rusty, but he's clean at ground level and a neat kick. He was solid.

Ah-Mu is just a big boy, but I like his tackling intent, he's a good mark and he's a good kick. Kicked a ripper that ended up being the winning goal. I do worry about his pace at AFL level, but maybe he's not much slower than a McLean from Sydney.

The way he judges the ball in the air and leaps is pretty rare for a young tall.

Yeah I did say a while back Ah-Mu would need to strip a lot of puppy fat once he gets into the AFL system.

Thanks for the update mate.

Duursma was best on ground for mine. By quite a way.

Couldn’t add much more to what Adam’s said, but Mentha was pretty quiet and one of our other future NGA kids, Prasad kicked a goal for Dandy but was quiet outside of that.

Riak matched up on Tauru for a lot of the 2nd half (including ruck contests inside Gippsland 50), and it was a fun watch. At times they were playing kick to kick with each other though (I’ll blame the wind).

Mentha copped a knee injury in the first quarter and pretty sure didn't return to the game after that unless I'm mistaken.

He should go high next year.

Ah, I didn't realise he was an underager, but that makes sense given there's no talk about him in the 2024 crop. Derps. 🤦

Moves a lot like his bro last year. Classy, clean, makes good decisions. Surely will be top 10 next year, unless it's the greatest class of all time or something happens injury wise.

@ChaserJ is there a website or resource that shows who is part of our NGA? I haven't been able to find anything doing a search online.

Sorry mate, haven’t been able to find anything that’s centralised that info either.

Damn, must have happened before I rocked up.

ACL bad or more of a knock?

Slowly hobbled off without assistance but escorted by a trainer nearby. Didn't see the incident itself unfortunately so not sure on what mechanism caused it. Near the end of the first quarter from memory if it's available on replay. From the way he was walking I would be surprised if it's serious but stranger innocuous things have happened.

Mentha play half back?

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
