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!!!!

At least everyone got Viney right.

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.

Yeah cool..


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. :)

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
