    Melbourne will play the 2013 season... haha sorry it's too early to tell without any excitement of new recruits....

    I personally think 2013 will be another rough season - I hope to see longer periods of competitiveness though -

    On a positive note I can't wait for J Viney to run out in the Red & Blue - & Mitch to be back at FF

    I am expecting Shannon Byrnes, David Rodan and Q.Lynch to come in.

    Expecting Rivers, Lucas Cook, Jordan Gysberts and Jamie Bennel to leave.

    Fine with all of this, with more young picks coming in we can afford to rid ourselves of some failures, and with the Free Agent gets we have solid role players who the team needs until our kids develop.

    Lets face it, Neeld cannot afford another season where our kids get destroyed every week.

    Honestly right now I have absolutely no idea what direction we are taking...

    Coming to club (best case scenario):

    Hogan, Wellingham, Ray, Toumpas and Viney

    leaving Club:

    Would have expected 12 leaving but Im starting to suspect we cant replace with any better so may keep a few duds on the list.

    Bate to doggies, Rivers and Moloney to Brisbane, Bail to Gold Coast, Martin to the Pies??

    Rivers i think will go to Geelong?

    Melbourne will want to keep Bail, he has a bright future ahead. Hopefully we can do a deal with pies for Wellingham

    Right at this point it seems like "the road to nowhere" . 2012 has been insanely difficult to support . It's time to walk the walk. We need to land some fresh stock quickly. Just like Big Mitch I reckon we will land a big fish that hasn't t even been mentioned yet. Trade week will be bigger than FA for Neeldy.

    We're going nowhere thats the answer! Free agency is going to kill our club. Why would anyone want to come to the Dees? Unfortunately I think most players wouldn't want to move here and I wouldn't blame them! Sorry to be so pessimistic!

    Roos is right as is GAZ85. It is a sad day for football. Free agency will widen the gap between the haves and the have nots. Soon only a half dozen or so clubs will have the only realistic chance of winning premierships. Melbourne is not one of them. The English Premier League all over again. I pray I'm wrong.

    Unfortunately I think youre correct with these concerns. The writing is on the wall and will be a hard process to reverse once it begins.

    Those points are slightly fair. The salary cap itself makes it not like the premier league

    If Melbourne sign Dawes it will be Templeton Mk 11 but worse because Dawes wasn't as good as Templeton. Obvious fatal error .. he will get in Clark's way and be a hindrance.

    AFL needs to reduce the minimum player payments from 90% of salary cap to at least 75% to allow struggling clubs more bargaining power in free agencies. It is pathetic to think that players like Cam Bruce, Green, Davey, Moloney etc (no disrespect intended) have been paid the same or more than the likes of Bartell, Scarlett, Selwood etc.

    But the fat controller doesnt have a clue so gap will keep getting bigger.

    As much as that is ridiuclous (that Bartel can be paid the same as Moloney)

    its the way it needs to be, because it can enable players to go to other clubs for more money

    i think that we should take a good look at Clinton Young?

    unrestricted agent. offer him some dolep, he would dominate in red and blue

    To the posts above.

    If we were still at the Junction Oval i would totally agree with you. But we are not.

    We still have a chance to get off the canvas. Won't be easy, but we still have have a few bullets left.

    The Draft is only 2 days old. Our $$$'s are still in neat piles.

    Thank you for steadying the thread.

    I grew depressed reading it haha.

    Your right, the club is all cashed up, just need to land some big names and get some form.

    not all is lost

    It's not a silly suggestion, but disagree about dominating. He could contribute though by offering pace, outside run and a decent left foot. He would be finding it very difficult after a couple of absolute 'mares' in the GF, including not keeping his feet against Jack late and not being able to run it through for a behind. Coach killer stuff.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
