Times are a bit slow on demonland, my productivity has doubled at work and my boss is wondering why.

Tom Swift for mine, I was against MFC drafting him due to injury issues however will be interested to see if he lives up to the potential. I think it was suggested he was a top 10 even top 5 if he had not had issues with his knees. But I think we have by far the most exciting group of 1st year players of any club to watch over the next couple of years.

Yes I agree. Will be interesting to see how he goes, best of luck to him, happy with our final selections however.

Myself though I'll be interested to see how Ryan Schoenmakers shapes up. I thought he would have been a perfect partner for Watts up forward and have often wondered if the Hawks didn't snaffle him from us.

Of the 08 draftees I think we have three players who will contribute significantly this year: Grimes, Maric and Morton. Also looking forward to seeing Cheney in the NAB Cup.

Ayce Cordy is another one to watch as he was the first player taken in the draft

F/S selections are always interesting as they will always have attached to their name - where would have they gone in the draft otherwise.

Only because I didn't even rate him top 20 yet he went at 3

Chris Yarran.

Although I'm secretly hoping he becomes a flop due to the club that recruited him.

Played an intra club game last night and his kicking was disgraceful according to a couple of Eagle scribes.

Schuey, as he is a Melbourne supporter!

Naitanui (to see if he's been over-hyped), Rich (to see if he really is ready for AFL football), Sidebottom (funny name)

Definately Luke Shuey. he's a melbourne supporter and he's a hard nut. Love watching the in and unders go about their work. if it weren't for those that win the hard ball they others don't look anywhere as near as good. Also intersested in seeing Ziebell go about it. thought he was a gun in the U18 championships

PREVIEW: Gold Coast
PREVIEW: Gold Coast

Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

REPORT: Carlton

The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
