No.

[censored] him.

He would have been a premiership player but didnt want to even consider us. He put a price on his head so big for the sole reason thst he knew that we couldn't pick him in PSD.

[censored] that guy. I wish him no luck for the rest of his career. He got his money.

He actually didn’t get a chunk of that money because of the Covid freeze on player payments when the season was shut down. He lost out on about $300000 of that front ended money that priced him out for clubs picking ahead of Carlton.

Life is funny sometimes.

He was still on crutches in the last few rounds, surely he’s a long way off?

Think he needed surgery later in the year. I presume he'll be alright for pre season and why they put him in for surgery when they did.

Stay away.

I remember how when O’Meara was playing like an Ablett clone in his early years at Goldcoast, Martin was the one with more talent.

Shame he was drafted into a culture-less rabble with role models like Harley Bennell.

A talented but lazy footballer. No way we need the likes of him.

When playing for Carlton, I haven't found him lazy when playing. He tackles, chases, has intensity. I think there were question marks about his training work ethic though.

Pretty sure Adam that he resisted surgery earlier in the year wanting a natural rehab / recovery, but gave in in the end when it failed to improve.

He actually became consistent in 2023, and had a really good elimination final against Sydney.

He got suspended in that Sydney final and missed the Dees/Carlton final and I can recall being excited at the time, as he was becoming a key cog in their forward line as that third target.

Geelong will no doubt get him back on the rails and he'll probably end up in the All OZ 40 squad, knowing how Geelong fix footballers.

    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
