come on guys....

give me your thoughts on who will be with the Mighty demons next year

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.

dont we all hope so... We need a real A grade gun players, im praying

 

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.

He is a very very good player.

regardlesss of his gf performance, would be top few at the dees

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
