We trade right this team is very possible.

Stuff the 5 year plan when we can have this next year.

Maybe have a crack at Kerr while we are at it and the rebuild is complete and we go give it a shake.

    Brown? ROFL

    What part of 'give me kids and more kids' dont you understand?

    Dean Bailey may as well not bother communicating with the fans anymore seeing as how they dont seem to understand a thing about footy. (Myself and a rare few others excluded)

    And exactly what did you trade to get J.Brown?

    I see that Green, Bruce, Sylvia, McLean, Davey, Morton and pick 1 are still there.

    Did we give away Jace Bode for him? What a coup!

    Now what?

    His side is far more realistic though. We are NO chance to get Brown - why in the world would he play for us anyway?

    If we "stuff" the 5 year plan we may end up making the finals, flopping, and then being rubbish for years to come.

    This seems to me like a strong young list with an emphasis on midfield rotation. You've got Morton, Davey, Bruce, Green, Sylvia, McDonald, Moloney and Buckley who can all rotate through the midfield, allowing McLean and young Daniel Rich (who I hope we draft) to stay fresh.

    Never say never. "If" and "may" are hardly solid words you use. I like my chances better. My team would last 3 years. In that time we have 3 years of picking kids while our marque recruits teach our kids work ethic.

    Silly team... completely unrealistic... and if we really do want a premiership then this is not the direction we should take.

    - J.Brown is in the top 5 players in the competition and the most inspiring leader. it would require pick 1 plus more to get him...

    Besides which Bailey indicated he wanted to rebuild from under 22yrs old... plus Jbrown publicly said he didn't want to play for melbourne.. i dont play him.

    - B.Cousins is completely the wrong fit for melbourne. too old, we wont be recruiting anyone over 24 fullstop.

    More realistic, but equally as exciting for is:

    2009 INS:

    R.Warnock--- quality young ruck

    J.Watts---- quality young KP forward

    pick 17 and pick 19---- 2 quality fast, skillful midfielders.

    Plus----

    J.Grimes is basically a new recruit. slipped to pick 14 last year bc of injury. we have worked him thru his injuries and now fully fit. will prove to be a gem.

    A.Maric completed year 12 this year so effectively next year will be the first season he has proper go at it

    Morton needs a pre-season to work on his body so will be so exciting next year

    Moloney, Rivers, McLean, Robbo missing for huge chunks of this year and all are in our best 18 players.

    That is how we will turn things around... not silly suggestions like getting J.Brown and B.Cousins.

    Whelan, Warnock, Garland

    Wheatley, Rivers, C.Johnson

    Green, Moloney, Morton

    Davey, Bate, Robertson

    Sylvia, Miller, Wonaeamirri

    Warnock, Mclean, Jones

    Int: Bruce, Martin, P.Johnson, Pettard, Buckley, Bell, McDonald

    Emerg: Valenti, Frawley, Newton, Bartram

    Developing but could be in our best 18 by years end:::: Grimes (pick 14 2007), Maric (pick 21 2007), Cheney (pick 52 2007), J.Watts (pick 1 2008), pick 17 2008 and pick 19 2008.

    I would also look to trade either Bruce or Green (preferably Bruce) for a first round pick (but NO LESSS). they are the only players on our list who have currency and they are both 28.

    Carrying Bate and maybe even Jones is the problem with your team. Exchange with J.Brown and Cousins. See the difference?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
