Fair call.. But we do need a FF?

Bingo. Don't need him. Jurrah, Watts, Petterd, Maric, Aussie, Green, Sylvia, Cook (in years to come).

If we want a forward, we need a hulking Chris Dawes or someone of that ilk...

Do we, really? Have you been going down to Casey this Year? If you haven't seen both Cook and Tom McDonald playing this season then you would know their just around the corner and they'll be needing spots to apply for.

All we need is a mature but aging 'Key Posi' Tall', as a backup, to use when needed, who plays genuinely Tall. Someone who'll be happy for the payday, and to Teach our kids the right way to play.

They'll both be up & about next year.

Would be great If we could get hulking Chris dawes type but they are few and far between. I think Walker Is the type a forward that draws the ball. he leads hard plus strong hands, good below his knees. I think he offers something diffrent to any of our forwards.

I go to casey a lot, Cook shows a bit and Im a massive wrap for Tom Mcdonald but Tommy has played back/ruck all year, hes not a forward. Cook may turn into something..

I think thats what they'd like Liam to become, the 3rd tall, but he's got a lot of hard work, to learn to do.

Yeah he is a forward. He can play both ends of the ground and has done with us, but is learning the defence atmo. And as you say, the ruck/follower role, harder to learn than straight defence.

I see him a bit like the OX, as a follower.... However its too soon to see where he will end up when we want to use him.

I like both of him & Cooky. Cooky I think could also make an Elite CHB. Exceptional field kicking to position, with great decision making/vision. Again plays both ends of the ground.

I hope your correct and Tom does end up playing both ends. Hopefully Fev & Juice wont be there next year and both Cook and Mcdonald can play forward.

No Juice won't be, he just hasn't done anymore this year & we haven't really needed to call on him with both Martin & Gawn playing better than hoped for. so maybe Juice did his Job in an about fashion.

The other boys could see Pre Season, they both needed to Lift there games to get positions in the Team. They Both did.

# As well, IMO Timmy Mohr has to be a strong chance to get onto an AFL list this Year, in an very average Draft Year,,,, And Warnock should definately in my book, get a gig somewhere on an AFL list.

So that could be Warnock/ TMohr/ Juice/ & Fev also would get on an AFL list somewhere. 4 talls at least off Casey's list,,, gives the places for Fitzpatrick, Davis, Mcdonald, Cook, and, maybe others? to come onto the list. Also Waite down there. Spencer, & Campbell.

Out of the MFC List I expect one of Dunn or Bate to make way as well this Year. One a year makes sense. The GWS incentives carry over for 2 Years.

And this year I think, (not sure) if GCSuns can still take uncontracted players?

I like Walker but would much prefer Dangerfield, who I understand linked his tenure to that of Neil Craig... surely would be a chance to return to Melbourne. I suspect both these guys would be in hot demand by lots of clubs... we should go hard.

This has to be one of the worst weeks in the history of our club, with Taylor Walker being the absolute cherry on the cake of dog poo.I feel like crying.

LOL, thanks Jaded, I needed that laugh.

Dangerfield eh? That fella with the eggshell scone. Give me Walker over him anyday. He'll be out of the league in 5 yrs with a rattled brain how soft his head is.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
