Bit of heat has to come on Tim Lamb, done nothing for this list since winning a premiership three years ago. Amazing that midfield and ruck depth weren’t addressed in the off season

Anyone in here who genuinely thinks we are a flag chance has rocks in their head. Been clear for quite some time. 

Yeh.. there’s been excuses and reasons but it’s pretty clear we’re not good enough. Even good teams lose a game or two they shouldn’t, when you lose this many you just aren’t good

Not sticking with Grundy and not giving it more time was perhaps the most short-sighted coaching decision I have ever seen this club make.

We gifted him to Sydney who is now dominating and has an AA ruck for the next 4-5 seasons.

Meanwhile we are plodding along with Petty as a backup ruckman, and we get absolutely spanked whenever a team has more than one big body.

Anyone that didn't see the writing on the wall after the West Coast game is delusional.

Melbourne are pretenders, this is seriously pathetic. May struggle to make finals from here, 2021 was fun but this club just doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to dominate in this league

T Mc and Tomlinson keep running to the same spots the big dumb oafs. Seriously, it cant be that hard to go man on man 

Goodwin the tactical genius would rather loose the game than make adjustments on the fly

Why won’t Melbourne make the perceived hard call and not play players who aren’t in form. Petty is currently useless. Hunter should not have come in the team when he did. Disco is not a forward. 
 

Petty is a complete liability at the moment and should be back at Casey. Is the reason he is playing is so that we can keep his price tag high? It isn’t working.

There’s literally no one who would do a better job. We have no forwards in the cupboard.

It’s a training run for Freo atm.

Seriously, when will Goodwin be held accountable? He’s got to go, along with several of our players.

We need to start again with a full on re-build.

To win football games you need skill and to care, we have no skill and the players 

All it them.  Do Not Care

    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.

    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.
