hopefully he does what grundy/Membrey did last year and slips down the draft for us.

Today's Hun has Zac predicted as a first round pick! That creates a dillema for us unless we get a PP.

If he is worth it, we should be lobbying the AFL now, like the other clubs have, to get Essendon's pick so we can get a player's brother. We could undertake to take him if he is there at that pick.

That does have some feel good factor in it for the AFL.

I reckon he'll be there at 20,

it's abit like Brodie Grundy, teams will have been looking at certain players for the first round all year and planning around that, I reckon all the teams will be hoping he slips to the second round and will pick up the blokes like Sheed who may slide abit with picks 10-20

Started alright in the TAC cup grand final. Hard at it but nothing eye catching. Boyd however 2 kicks 2 goals

yes but clubs interested, will know he is likely to be taken @ 20 & may jump us.

I think clubs will be going best available instead of trying to jump us on Jones. I reckon most clubs won't have him in their top 20 so we should be safe there.

Might not be the worst thing, if he is taken early and a Freeman or Crouch slips through to us I won't be crying, I doubt they will though, I reckon we'll be right with 20

I hope you right & I hope we can get some more picks in the area.

I'd like to pickup about 3 - 4 mature players & about 4 draftees. & some rookies

Sorry but can't agree!

One possible downside of our very successful trade period so far is that Zac may fall out of our reach.

But then perhaps all the other potential suitors have heard the very strong rumours about his really bad knees - only expect a season or maybe two maximum out of them. And "the other issues"!

He doesn't like baldies and tattoos either.

worth a go ...

Zac will go with pick range 25-35 IMO.

I am excited by all our trading but gutted Zac may go elsewhere. If we don't get him, I hope an interstate team does so we can "bring him home in 2 years

An afterthought - could we still perhaps get some interest in the 20s for Jamar? Someone who needs a mature tap ruckman for one or two years max? Or a package of some sort?

I'm never pedantic, but max?? You must mean maximum.

BTW, this a joke mono. Or should I say monoccular!

It's sad to say, but after his performances over the past two seasons, we'd probably have to pay someone to take him.

Actually, not a bad idea. Perhaps a club needing an experienced ruck with salary cap pressure might give up a pick around 25-29 for Jamar if we paid half his contract?

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie
