Tall forwards need to at least contest the footy and bring it to ground, getting out marked far too easily. Smalls need to apply far more defensive pressure when it does hit the deck. Looks like they're walking it out at times. We're not out of this yet but given its wet it's going to be a struggle.

I was before the game but that has quickly worn off! Grabbing a drink to settle my nerves.

It’s hard to think of anyone who is playing well for us and so many non existent. It’s been a real hard watch so far. Would love to know how fit our midfielders are.

I don’t understand why more club execs don’t question this in public

For a multi billion dolllar enterprise it’s absolutely unacceptable 

heads must roll

if nothing else pert just question the treatment of max 

Bigger than umpiring though. Post the Maynard attempted murder pert should have beelined for media hip and shouldered daixos away and said “THAT. WAS. NOT. A. FOOTBALL. ACTION. We expected 8 weeks.”

Our game plan and forward structures are not conducive to kicking big scores.

That’s been a problem for a while and been staring us in the face for so long.

Weve placed too much of an emphasis on contest and defence, to the detriment of scoring quickly.

Scoreboard pressure is the best type, ours moves slower than a flat battery clock

when Trac kicked the two we still didn't have the run of play. By the way why take him off?' He's playing forward FFS. 

Petty is being smashed by Weitering. Pickett unsighted. 

What do you want me to do? 

- 16 contested

Yes, why did we take Tracc off.  Just a complete brain fade of where the game was at and instead going with pre programmed rotations like robots.

Same with Max in the first.  Left off at the wrong time of the match for too long.

Petty down back on DeKoning to free up Lever as the spare.

Leave Tracc up forward.  Kozzy into the middle.

Our midfield is really broken.

Jack Viney is nothing like his last season. They look very very flat footed.

That tackle by Sparrow was unacceptable.

Well a couple of Carlton fans just got engaged on the big screen while Love Story by Taylor Swift was playing. 
So…. Ummm… yeah 

The MCC is playing to the [censored]. Can’t talk to your neighbour during breaks in game now.

That passage sums our night in 10 seconds of play. Poor hit out, weak tackle attempt, no pressure at ground level, defenders out of position.

    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.

    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
