Thank goodness that's 2013 over and done with. Now our 2014 year starts. Cann't wait for the trade week and draft. Best time of the year for the lowly dees. All I want for Christmas is my two good midfielders. What about Mundy for Clark

    I would get rid of Dawes before Clark.

    A fully fit Clark is a match winner and a potenial Coleman medalist. You only have to look at his first year with us which i think some people are forgetting.

    Though Freo do need a forward lime him, we need him just as much.

    I turned up at Gosch's Paddock bright and early this morning and nobody was there?

    I think 2014 must start tomorrow or the day after.

    For mine, 2014 started the day we got Paul Roos ... :)

    Would you take hill or fyfe for Clark. They need someone like Clarke. We need a champion midfielder. Take a risk

    I'd definitely take Fyfe for Clark.

    A fully fit Clark and Freo might be interested if we added a lot to the deal. But currently Mitch has no value and we shouldn't trade him anyway.

    I feel we will be left disappointed by this years trade period. We have no leverage except Roos and that will only get us so far. We wont be in the Taylor Adams race. There isn't much else going. We might over pay Heath Shaw which will probably be a bad move.

    What I want is to fast forward to this time next year. It might still be a long season on the field but I can't help think we will be in way better shape this time next year and will have a vision to sell some possible recruits and some players to deal to make it happen.

    Hands off Mitch!

    I couldn't stand to see him in another guernsey.

    Look at those smouldering eyes of his on the banner. He's looking right into my soul, daring me to dream.

    Off limits! No one may take my man-crush.

    We must recruit players who can withstand pressure and who can exert pressure on the opposition.

    Those that cannot perform under that pressure must go.

    I do not hold sentiment to players who are not up to it anymore.

    Grand Final day reminds me how timid our list is every year.

    I want change and that starts this week.

    PJ & Roos understand this. The players i hope will click in very soon.

    Unfortunately, Choke, it's not his 'smouldering eyes' that is the problem. t's his foot.

    How is he mending? Does he expect to do pre-season training?

    The bottom line is, will he ever play again and if so, how likely is he to break down again?

    We must be due to add another asst coach or two by now and maybe a couple more board members? We might even resemble an AFL football team at the end of all this. :)

    Misson said in one of his weekly updates before the season ended that Mitch was back and running again I believe, they just chose not to try and rush him back this season, and allow him to focus on the preseason, which they expect him to do a full preseason. He is going off to Arizona with Dawes, so I presume high altitude training is only useful if you can train, and possibly only if you can train at as near to 100% as is possible

    Is it true that Clark could've technically played in round 23?

    Good sign if true.

    let,s wait till round 1, similar things were said this time last year.

    After his GF, performance, I'm not so sure..

    Seriously, his kicking at times is comical.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
