Leigh Brown could be a handy short term (preseason draft) acquisition to bolster our forwardline for 2 years. Not sure of his age.

We need to take the pressure off our youngsters, while our young forwards to be recruited develope their bodies confidance & game.

i've got an awesome idea.

He's 22 years old so fits out age bracket perfectly. He's got great kicking skills which is what we need.

He can supply drive off half back which is what we lack.

His name is Chris Johnson.

Are you a fan of Chris's or not, I can't hear your tone.

You've stated nothing re Leigh Brown short term.

Now the clubs have done 99% of their delisting, we can actually look at the best options in the PSD. We can invite players to train with us and try to find the best option for the club

There are a few tall forward options now that we might consider.

Gourdis has been delisted by Richmond, he's a real athlete but a lot of work needs to be done on his football. Thoolan is a huge kid delisted by Collingwood and he's still only 18, 19 early next year. He's 195cm & 95kg, and that was measured at the start of the year. Couple of young options that we could consider

I wonder how CJ would fit into this thread if this was another club's website

You mean like this?

Or this one on Nathan Carroll going to Carlton?

Seems every club boards supporters are the same!

No. ;)Could do much worse than Kane Tenace.

Massive selling point that one.

"Hey Kane, we don't think you are very good but selecting you was the only way we could keep Chris Bryan off the list."

"Now go introduce yourself to Brad Gotch - you're going to be seeing a lot of him. Hahahahaha!!!"

They probably could have left off the evil laugh at the end but AFL is an emotional game and it adds drama...and flavour.

Get a room you two!

Visualising and...

You're both very attractive...

Moving on...

Haha...

I played with Laidlaw before he was drafted.

Gun player but has been ruined by injuries.

We will have enough mids after the draft but he is a Melbourne boy, 22 and if he is over his injuries he could be a handy pickup.

Very much doubt we will pick him up though...

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
