Season Overacheiver - Colin Garland. After Round Two he was GONE.

We will finish 15th with 4 wins.

Retired Neitz, Holland, Yze, White

Trade no trades unless we get a first round pick for Sylvia(doubtful)

B&F Green

Our First pick Watts or Hurley(this guy is as solid as a rock and has future leader written all over him. If you get a chance to watch him play live today you will see)

We will look to make 5-6 changes to our senior list, Aussie will be promoted, I don't think Valenti will we will retain him as a rookie. That mean with the 4 retirements we need to delist 2 more players. Front runners to be delisted Carroll and Weetra. Robbo and Jmac will be promoted to Veteran status. That gives us 5 picks, 4 in the national draft and 1 in the pre-season draft. Rookies Spencer has to be on the list another year, Valenti will be retained, Aussie promoted and I think Zomer is borderline.

B&F winner: Brad Green

Season Underachiever: Adem Yze (I expected at least something!)

Best First Year Player: Wonaeamirri

Best Clubman: Brad Miller

Final Position: 16th

Number One pick: Watts or Natanui/depends on Warnock (happy either way but will make up my mind tonight)

Delistings: Weetra, Carroll

Retiring: Neitz, Yze, Holland, White.

Trade: Bell

7 out, Wona elevated, 5 National draft picks and pre-draft pick (hopefully Warnock or Prismall....)

We may also elevate Valenti and unload someone like Bode.

Green B&F.

Garland obivously most improved.

Finish 15th with 4 wins, ahead of WC on %.

Morton to earn a rising star nomination soon after returning.

Grimes to get one too (just 'cos that is how the story goes)

Wonaeamirri to be a podium finish in Rising Star Award, but not win it.

Will trade a third round pick for Warnock.

Wonaeamirri promoted, Valenti retained as Rookie.

Neitz, Yze, Holland, White retired.

Carroll, Bode delisted.

Picks 2, 18, 20, (36 traded for Wanrock), 52, 68.

No idea on who we'll pick.

Operating loss of 'just' $500,000 as opposed to the $1-1.5mil feared.

$2mil to be cleared off debt by the 'Debt Demonilition' Event.

time to bite the bullet , package up Sylvia and Rivers and go knocking on Choco Williams door. 2 Adelaide boys for first round pick. love Rivers as a player, takes lots of defensive marks when others would spoil but no good to us playing 4 games a year.

Roost it - I must laugh mate.

Green and Wheatley are both in the top 5 players at the club. With Green probably top 2.

Why would we trade them both to Sydney, who's first pick will only be around 11, 12 or so.

I know Junior has another year in him (or seems to) but do you think he might also pull the pin?

I doubt we'll contend for a flag next year & i think he'd be the type to want to get out before he's pushed out.

Also the type that would understand its time to give another young guy an opportunity

no?

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
