    INT: Jones Moloney Fitzpatrick Martin

    EMER: Bennell Bate Jetta Wonaemirri

    So we are gonna recruit pretty poorly in the next 5 years?

    What a funny thread.

    I think we have the answer to the above question. Thank Christ we finally have a team steering the club in the right direction.

    I was thinking about all the quality we have received over the last 3 drafts in particular. I thought i would do what our team will look like when all our current leaders such as Bruce, Green, J mac and Davey are no longer playing. This is my possible 2015 Team which is when we will really be dominating the competition like brisbane (01-04) and geelong (07-09). Obviously we will draft a few new players over the next 5 years but this is my best team looking into the future.

    Note: I included Jack Viney (2011 Father Son Pick) in the team because im sure he will be part of best 22, will be a gun!!!

    So what does everyone else think?? Any changes you would make?

    I think it looks like an awesome team and I cant wait til 2010 to see the start of the careers of some of our future stars!!!!

    One other thing i was thinking who would be captain and Vice?? thought Moloney could be a good choice, then i thought in 5 years time Grimes, Watts, Scully and Trengove could all be worthy. Its a tough one. What does everyone else think?

    Go Dees!!!!

    Good stuff.

    Reminds me when back in the day everyone on Demonland (myself included), were gushing over a midfield of Bell, Sylvia, McLean & Moloney. Epic lols

    its nice to dream guys but i member back in 2004 we had a thread about our 2009 premeiership team and it had blokes like adam fisher as rover, nick smith CHF steven armstrong on a wing and dale carson at full forward!!! i even cameron hunter and ryan ferguson getting in the best 22!

    Sorry was doing some digging around and found this quite funny! (Not shooting down the OP) but hows this for a flashback!

    You were right though.

    I wonder which names we'll be laughing about from this team in 5 years time. Hopefully not more than 70%, as is the case with the OP...

    I reckon at least 7 or 8 of those won't make it and will drop off. Seems a more solid core than last time though.

    That's a fair effort !

    Is that all you could offer back then re: A 5 year future?

    You twit.

    This thread is bad and you should feel bad.

    Seriously, I just threw up in my mouth a bit.

    I'm amazed that someone has the time or dedication to dig that deep into a footy forum, DD36 should be the number 1 ticket holder for the MFC next season.

    Classic. Now you recently joined D'landers know why the oldies all groaned when we saw that future flag side pop up recently.

    4 players left at best. Gosh, what a train wreck.

    I've been here for coming up 5 years so missed this thread by a couple of drafts.

    Most I've laughed from a 'thread-bump' in that time.

    By a long way. :)

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • 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.
