With our 0/3 free agency record in terms of retaining players (Sylvia, Rivers and Moloney) you start to think if there is any player for the Dees that will resist free agency and stay loyal. Here is my take on our best and most talented players:

Jones - The big one. Our best player in terms of performance and value. Up for restricted free agency in exactly 2 years time. Seems to show genuine passion, love and care if his B&F speeched are anything to go by.

Grimes - I would think he and Viney would be the greatest hope of staying. Barracked for the Dees as a kid and is captain. How many captains have changed clubs recently?

Trengove - I think likely. I get the impression the club means a lot to him

Garland - Unknown. Seems to show genuine care for the club.

Frawley - The other big one. Up for restricted free agency next year. Cannot afford to lose him. Says he bleeds 'red and blue'. Who knows?

Viney - See Grimes.

Toumpas - Too early but SA factor

Clark - Shows genuine enthusiasm and love for the club via Twitter. Would a WA team be waiting for him in the next year or 2? Cannot go via free agency until 2019.

Dawes - Unknown. I think he'd have aspirations for being captain or VC.

McKenzie - Showed great loyaly by resisting an offer from Adelaide while on the MFC rookie list. However that was 4 years ago.

Hogan - Way too early to discuss but will give us heart burn each time he nears out of contract status.

    Lynden "Limpet" Dunn will stick around past the end of his career.

    It's a tough call because we don't know how successful some will become.

    If any, Jack Grimes will be one.

    Jamar has stated his excitement over his last contract signing that expires next year he will be a one club player.

    I think there will be a good chance with Jack Viney too, although who knows these days in relation to GAJ.

    I would be gobsmacked if Jones played his career anywhere else barring an amicable parting of the ways for a final year or two. He is a Demon in every sense of the word and will go down as one of our champions of the modern era.

    Viney is very similar to Jones, you can see it in his eyes.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
