That’s if I get there! But I’m sure this worldwide catastrophe outage will be sorted by Sunday morning. We’ve got members flying out tonight who are at the airport amongst the bedlam. And many more due to fly out early tomorrow morning. 😑

Sure was unfortunately. The buzz in the Melbourne section pre game was something that I have rarely witnessed. Bloody devastating we were just totally gassed and had nothing left to give. 
 

Enjoy, hope your winning streak continues.

Laurie stiff as. 

But Billings could still provide something for us. It may have come down to a senior body over a young fella

Billings running out of chances though

I am registered as an in-flight emotional support camel for tax purposes, so there is some pressure on to keep up appearances.

To be fair, I've never done a pacific crossing and I'm also putting off a Europe trip until there's an available stopover location which isn't a major slave market or Perth.

This reminds me about ships not taking in ballast water in Adelaide? (I think they have since lowered their standards)

I was looking into going to Europe by boat - of course that was pre-Covid - so that’s another option. 
Probably get to meet real pirates as well!

Good luck to Billings but has been absolute crud at senior level for the most part so far.

Surely last chance at senior level with any AFL club this week?  Does he even care?  Doesn't play like it.

Goody proved the afl world wrong with not playing a genuine ruck last week but Jackson & Darcy will have a field day, It’s obvious Fullerton can’t ruck in Goodwin  eyes, very weird 

He can’t ruck and that’s not just in Goodwin’s eyes.

Roo will go with Darcy, the two big bodies , and Petty should be able to body Jackson and defend him when he goes forward or drop off him and leave TMac to him.

Have you seen the weather forecast? It’s going to be wet. Darcy will be a liability out there.

Billings back in. Hmmmm Hasn’t shown really anything when he has played. Lucky to be back in. Skills poor. Goalkicking poor. Tackling non existent.

Laurie contracted though to end 2026 for some reason. Looks to slow and uncontested for AFL midfield role and we have plenty of small forwards already.  He’s a VFL standard player. 
 

Tholstrup is the future.  He’s going to be very very good. 
 

“Billings - Skills poor. Goalkicking poor. Tackling non existent.”

Sure, but apart from those limitations, …. ????

It’s all about the energy we bring and I reckon the kids have got a taste for it.

We have plenty of run now with AMW, Mc Vee, Windsor, The Kolt, Langdon back to his best, Kozzie Nibbler and the brilliance of Melksham not to mention the coming of age of Roo , what a month he has had!

After all the talk of a wet weather game, the forecast is 0-3mm. Doesn’t exactly scream a wet weather slog of a game.

And I’m not sure we’d benefit from back to back wet games heading into GWS off the back of a 6 day break from Perth.

Is Fullarton become a permanent emergency especially for interstate matches ? He and the Dees can look on the bright side of life, we will have a fresh player at our disposal. Perhaps the word disposal will have a stronger meaning for Tom year's end . i.e delisted.

He has another year on his contract.

Would've preferred Laurie to be the in.

He's young, we've given him a contract extension, there must be something there Goodwin believes in.

Let's see it

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    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.

    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
