POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs Hawthorn



Recommended Posts

A very good team effort against an opponent that played a very old style gameplan.

The Lever interview was perhaps a little worrying in that it sounded like he's resigned to missing a couple of weeks but he's glad it's not more.

We have some gorilla forwards coming up in the next few weeks so Petty may be spending some time down back.

Great to see Fritsch with a bag and two goals by Chandler at key times

We did what we were expected to do. 
Our defence was outstanding given the adversity. Whilst Tmac looked like a b triple chasing Chip, Hore stepped up and Howes did some nice things too.
Fritsch tightened up after a quick start by Sicily, to finish with 5 was a great effort owning the Hawks skipper. 
Petrraca is a gun, and as those above have mentioned, he was a class above. Kozzie also looked a class above in the small forward role. 
and lastly kudos to the recruitment team - billings and Windsor provide skillful quick transition which only helps our forwards.

Tough run of games coming up. Hopefully the other players pull up ok and May & Lever can get right and come back in sooner rather than later.

The Hawks kicked one goal with May and Lever off the ground 

At Halftime they would have given themselves a sniff 

Jimmy Stynes played with Broken Ribs….

Yeah, a poor effort by May not to get back on the field and instead take the easy way by ambulance. #culture.

If umps had awarded holding the ball at all against BOTH teams it would have flowed more and I reckon a 75 point win.

It's a bittersweet win but it is against Hawthorn. 

We're second on the footywire ladder.

You were giving me and about 30 other Dees fans severe depression with your overreaction. A few weeks is concerning but the overreaction is out of control.

And Maysie.

Gee we couldn't have got Petty and Tmac back in on time. And we recruited Hore.

Let's hope it's all nothing too bad.

I really hope it is an over reaction but I’m not so sure

For mine it’s got ACL written all over it

How bad is our medical team that they would send a player with a suspected ACL to do run throughs and strap him up hoping he can get back on, in round 3 🙄

Loved Maxy’s hand pass to a wide open Spaz in the forward 50 who goaled, and Max nonchalantly ran to the bench (for less of a cheer than Clarry or Trac got)

Your knee can feel quite ok until you try and turn, his run through didn’t feel good clearly. He’s done it twice and it was innocuous last time.

There was nothing ACL alluding in Levers movement. Anyone care to explain why they think this?

Look at melkshams. The jerk upon tear was so much more significant. To me it looks like a twist to miniscus.

Did they send him to do run throughs last time? 
There is a very specific ACL test they do. It’s either negative, positive or inconclusive like it was with Gawn last year. An inconclusive test would be treated as an ACL.

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 The premiership defender had a below par season after looking the goods as a key forward before injury ended his 2023 season. It’s unclear as to where he will be playing in the coming season as some of the club’s established defensive talls near the end of their careers.

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

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

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    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.
