Few deals done. Think we will have Hogan tomorrow or Wednesday, the way Harrington was gushing about him. If we can get pick 20 back in the deal I can see the Dawes deal being done for that quickly, so Pies can move on. Eddie is referring to him as a past player already. He seems happy to come to us, unlike Wellingham and Caddy.

It's time for T$ closure. It's time for JV to smash him a good one next year, and we can all laugh and move on having dodged the biggest bullet of all time.

Amen. You know I can't mention him, but I was thinking, how funny would it be, with Whitfield and Toumpas and others added to the GWS list, if he can't make the side. $1M a year to play in the local seconds.

Would be funnier if we poached Whitfield.

Oh the laughs!

Well after all the dust settles after the trading, the drafting and the trimming I'm not sure I'll recognize our team.

Hallelujah and tftf !!!!! :)))

Don't think I've look so forward to the 1st round so much for a long long long time.:)

I think your memory is failing bb

Seem to remember great excitment after 2010 season and drafting.

Then again last year after Neeld was appointed.

Both ended in disaster.

Now I will admit this year does look way better than this time last year because we are changing some of the cattle this year.

So I hope 2013 shows a small amount of improvement.

Closure? I know what you're saying, but 4 and 13 haven't been finalised yet in terms of their use.

I only thought I was excited those other times as it was obviously a false illusion !!! Lol

This time as you surmise, real change combined with an injection of meaningful acquisitions = some real chance at a competitive team.

Just made a resolution

I am staying off "The drafting and trading board"

Hope it turns out better than my New Year Resolutions!

I can't I am addicted. Some of the rubbish defies belief, but it's great reading.

Along the lines of " you -u----- idiot."

Best I try and stay away.

I thought I heard something when I was on Demonland earlier.

I believe that part of the deal finalised today for Hogan and Barry was that Jack Viney must cease and desist from any attempt at tackling, body slams or other violent attacks on the little mongrel until the end of the 2014 season.

Nice to have you aboard Chelly

But there is something you need to know.

That person you mention ( not J Viney )

is not to be mentioned on this thread.

It is a ------ free zone.

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
