Do we know which of these players is out of contract at the right time?

There will be some pretty [censored] off supporters after all this goes down, hopefully not us.

We finished Bottom for the last 3 years. I think other teams would be more worried than the MFC

Some of the defenders that are mentioned here have shown no more than potential.

Lets see how 2010 unfolds before anyone gets worried.

On the other hand even though we've finished last the defenders have been good. If they see potential finishing last may hinder us because the GC wont want to give us much in exchange because our defenders aren't valued as highly.

Personally, I think their top targets would be Frawley, Tayte Pears and Dale Morris. Maybe a few others like Sam Gilbert, Nathan Brown...

But we definitely won't be immune.

Brad Miller is the one for me they are likely to target - Tall Strong body, can play at both ends and grew up in QLD. Also contractually fits into the window

Fair comment, but i still say wait until 2010 season is well under way before being to worried about any of our "potential" stars (none of them have played in a Big Game yet. I hope they do this year & do well.

People speak about Colin Garland around here in Hushed Tones....as if he is a champion already. He hasn't even started yet.

Bring on 2010 the Better the Team plays the more the players are worth. Geelong & Brisbane both kept their champion sides together over all in the last decade. We must aim to do the same.

The Club will be compensated for any losses-all clubs will be under fire

Hopefully in time the bulk of our list will WANT to stay together regardless of offers.

The club will be compensated, but not fairly. I have no faith whatsoever in the AFL's "secret" formula to determine the value of a player. This whole mess is a disgrace and should be grounds for the immediate removal of Andy and his entire board.

sure i believe you on that, but i put the blame on North Melbourne. If they had gone up to the Gold coast then these draft conditions would not exist.

Harsh i know but the Truth. If North go Belly Up in the next 5 years i will be absolutely furious.

Let's see who really barracks for North Melbourne.....

That's a little harsh on North, I'm sure if it was Melbourne in the same position you would fight tooth and nail to keep the dees here too, I know I would have!

I don't think its Harsh on North at all. It was only a few years ago they attracted just over 25,000 people to a final in melbourne.

We are yet to see Brayshaws "white Knights" and i don't think we will.

When the Demons start winning this club will pull big crowds-Our Dormant supporters will waken, North could never fill the 'G not even during the '90's. If i am proven wrong i will be the first to acknowledge it, but i don't think 10 teams will be in Victoria for too much longer, and yes if it weren't for the current administration we would already be out.

But that didn't happen-and we have re-alligned with our home The MCC. Sure we have to win back Respect.

The North Sympathy vote will not last forever, so let's just wait and see....North were lucky to win all 4 of their Flags if you examine the circumstances carefully.

There should only be one Melbourne in this city anyway....The MFC.

dose anybody know when Frawley is out of contract?

Why are they going after defenders? Heaps easier to steal a couple of decent ones than it is to snare forwards

More because the accepted wisdom is that a strong defence is key to a premiership tilt. Premiers are supposed to be built from the back and height in defence is as important as forwards any day.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
