Oliver is now a fully fledged turnover merchant.

Of course he is, but no, you can't say that on here because hea a protected species. 

Costs us goals every week.

McAdam couldn’t make the distance the last 2 weeks but that was put down to learning the Melbourne system.

Some things just are in football with no need for learning a system.

A 5kg dumbbell is a 5kg dumbbell, a short handball is a short handball, a 35 metre set shot...

what a terrible quarter of football, we gave them most of those goals with absolutely braindead football, turnovers and total lack of skill. is this another game where we came in thinking we got this, we dont need to do anything. kick the first couple of goals and go into this is easy mode and just blow it all over the ground. something needs to be done about the attitude melbourne players show out there, no respect for their opponents, not manning up, not chasing, not tackling, no idea.

In our defence handball and run in to the wind is smart but you got to know when to get numbers up and play percentages

We've never had an NT following...

It's a money trip

Just wondering how Freo can have such a following when they are not a big club or popular at all.

He's delusional. 

About as good as his excuse of loading the past few year to no advantage.

Everyone else can see its a midfield issue except him.

Our midfield has been okay though today. We're losing through turnover. It's very concerning that a team like Freo scores 5.2 in the first quarter. We are badly out of sync.

Can we revisit selling this game?

I get the revenue but don't we want to win games first?

Our record here is not good enough for the cash.

appalling skills

Yes, perhaps that’s a by-product of valuing Effort (contested possession) over every other facet.

Watch this now become a slog and arm wrestle where we just let the game drift away.

Why not be proactive for a change, and simply attack……………you know, like we used to do when we were good?

Weve become such a predictable and boring side. Contest defence, contest defence. Where is kicking goals in our list of priorities.

Can’t see how selling this game compensates from potentially missing a top 4 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

    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
