LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs



Recommended Posts

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 Strait Islander culture.

Supporters are encouraged to be in their seats by 12:40pm, with students from Worawa Aboriginal College performing a traditional dance prior to Narrm running out at 12:55pm. 

A Welcome to Country from Wurundjeri man Colin Hunter Jnr will then take place before the first bounce at 1:05pm.

Saturday is forecast for a sunny afternoon, ideal for entertaining footy in Narrm’s final home game for 2024.

Both teams have endured long injury lists this season which has impacted their respective ladder positions. 

A Pies loss will see Collingwood win the wooden spoon while we Dees will have to wait until around 9pm to learn their fate.

Congratulations to Blaithin Mackin who was named in the Week 9 Team of the Week.  B has played some scintillating footy this season.

How good will it be to see A and B return fully fit for Season 2025.

Selection this week

Kate Hore has been cleared to play and Alyssia Pisano gets to play her 8th game in this debut season.  The small forward is yet break into disposals double figures.  A goal-sneaky chance this week?

Making way is Goldie who was really banged up by the heaved-handed Hawks last week receiving concussion, while reliable defender Denby Taylor is being managed.

Meggs’ view

The Demons must win. 

Collingwood is missing their Captain Bri Davey but has a solid core group of experienced players such as Brit Bonnici and Ruby Schleicher who are capable of restricting our ball movement. Can the Pies maintain the pressure for 4 quarters?

The return of Kate Hore will strengthen the midfield and Hanksy et al will enjoy her company. 

Goldie’s attack and flair will be sorely missed but Mick Stinear will ensure that others step up. 

Expecting Loz Pearce to match it with Sabrina Frederick and give our midfielders first use of the ball.  The Demons defensive group are well led by Chaplin and Gillard.  Fan favourite Alyssa Bannan is in a rich vein of form scoring in her past 5 games.  

Narrm should kick enough goals for a comfortable win.

Carn the Blues!

Narrm by 24 points

CROWD 8,412 at Ikon Park

Entertainment plus in the Season 2023 opener as the Hot Pies went cold after half time due to an 8-goal second half blitz by the Mighty Dees. 

The skill level and delivery into our forward 50 was some of the best we’d seen.

The vibe at IKON Park was great and Kate Roffey and Daisy Pearce unfurled the Demons Season 7 premiership flag. 

It was Hanksy’s 50th milestone game.  She displayed her usual gameday awesomeness, celebrating with a crushing win.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #17 Jake Bowey

    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
