As iterated he is not up to it

Yeah haven’t seen the first half Picket but he’s decision making in the fourth has been strange.

Billings has been great!

No he hasn’t, moments of class but he’s a few steps behind in pressure and contested work.

Hard to read much from a practice match, but some positives so far:

Windsor and Brown do not look out of place. Verrall also.

Rivers strong improvement continues. McVee plays like he's been at this level for 10 years

Kossie in the middle for more than the first bounce of each qtr is great

Billings getting a bit of it.

Viney is massive for our midfield

A few negatives so far:

The fumble attempts at marking, particularly by May and Lever

Turn overs killing us, poor decision making and handball execution

Lack of pressure in defence. Bolton must have the pox, he's that clear

Still too many long bombs and poor conversion in front of goal

Is Langdon playing? Just ran down an opponent, so just noticed him

Give me his moments of class than our classless turnover merchants!

Not sure what we’ve done to Windsor’s kicking but he’s now holding the ball funny and hitting the inside of the foot on half of them. He’s been nicely Melbourne’d

Big prediction, but we look bottom 8. You can focus on who is not out there, but the foot skills are as bad as any side in the league

Its just scratch game but we still seem lacking up fwd.

I’m not too concerned about our defense. 
They’re clearly working of fast ball movement but the skills is still a concern. Sometimes they’re biting off more that they can chew but that’s why it’s a practice match. They are looking at what is working and what is not.

Hasn’t had an amazing day by any stretch but it’s good signs from JVR you can tell he’s taken a step

Conversion was off today but otherwise he's looking ominous as a strong marking forward target for us.

I thought you were backing me up on the whole it’s a practice match thing.

    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.

    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.

    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.
