Thinking particularly of our midfield needs ...

Ignoring the ridiculous like club captains Hodge, Watson and Van Berlo

The highly improbable like Mitchell, Thomas, Corey and Wells

The most interesting players in that list are Colin Sylvia, daylight second, Xavier Ellis

There's a few names there I'd love to see us make a play for. There's a few A-grade small forwards there (LeCras, Betts, Milne), which a position we need to fill.

Why? what you don't like Blease, Kent, Davey, Byrnes, Magner..Jetta in a pinch

Milne is 33 this year isn't he, Le Cras has had a very serious injury, if Betts leaves Carlton I would be very surprised

I'd like to see Blease play further up the ground, perhaps on the wing or as a half forward. I don't know much about Kent; I live out of the country so haven't seen him training. Davey and Byrnes won't be around when we're (hopefully) challenging. Magner is not a forward pocket; he played there a couple of times last year, with, IMO, no success. Jetta is better utilized as a small defender.

If he can get through this season, I would be more than happy to see the Dees take a punt at LeCras. I'd be surprised if he left West Coast, just as I'd be surprised in Betts left Carlton, but I'd be happy to have either in red and blue. I didn't realize Milne's age.

Anyway...just trying to generate some discussion; I'm getting tired of visiting the "Tanking" thread.

Magner had his first pre season last year and a shortened one, he has increased his endurance and looks faster, would not surprise me to see Neeld using him up forward

As for Le Cras it seems strangely quiet, maybe one of the Dees in the west can post what he is up to, been nearly a year since he did his knee, doesn't get a namecheck on any of the latest stories on their website....strange

Agree with Blease but that will be in a year or two, needs at least another pre season

Jetta is very versatile, will show this year, can play there if need be

Kent by the way from what I have seen is as fast as Blease, just starting out though, but has a fair rig on him as well, under the radar at the moment

Barry might get a go up there as well

17 clubs will see Sylvia as the perfect target

Theres not a club in the AFL that would pay Sylvia 400,000 a season, if he leaves he takes a pay cut.

Neeld and Brown will definitely put an offer to Dale Thomas, we would be crazy not to. Nathan Van Berlo will probably not leave Adelaide but we should offer him big money and see what happens. Xavier Ellis may be worth a look but the rest are either fanciful or not what we require I think. The other one worth making an offer on might be Adam Selwood.

Simon black and lenny hayes. Two players we should go for. yes I know they are late in there career but im hoping we pick up another gun midfieder in the draft with our first pick. Could you imagine the experience and much needed improvement if we had one of this guys showing toumpas, viney, kent, taggert how its done.

    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
