I believe the rumours that give us the best players for the least cost. The other ones are garbage.

Two years of very good trading, hiring and drafting

Viney at pick 26 (steal)

Toumpass (went one place later than expected)

Hogan (mini draft)

Dawes (solid player)

M Jones (impressive first season)

Terlich(impressive first season)

Tyson (a good get whilst keeping a first round pick)

Minchie (highly rated by many clubs)

Vince (better than Sylvia)

Pick 9 (assurance for the future)

Peter Jackson (thank you AFL)

Paul Roos (thank you PJ)

Stone (credentialed and proven assistant Improving most of the above)

That's a turn around on 10 players in the right hands

Only one we might regret is overlooking Wines. Love the Toump and reckon he's all class but Wines was incredible this season.

The rest is spot on!

Toumpass will be fine and a better footballer than Wines. We now have some genuine inside midfielders to compliment him and he will have a full pre season. His hips should be fine too. Wines had a very good midfield backing him. dimitri didn't

Our midfield is now starting to look much more talent laden and a lot less raw:

Jones, Cross, Vince, Viney, Toumpas, Tyson, Trengove, Pick 9 etc...

That is a hell of a lot better than this year.

Where did you pull Cross from? Far from signed, sealed and delivered to the club.

Agree with your sentiments though.

That's starting go look pretty damn good.

There must be a few starting to quiver in their boots.

Blease, Watts, McKenzie, Matt Jones, Evans, Barry, Nicholson, Tapsott, Bail

OMG - I though we may be able to get through one thread without the Wines (one of many mids in a more mature successful team) vs Toumpass (opposite of all those club traits) debate - but, oh no, we couldn't.

Or getting through it without someone spelling his name incorrectly. Toumpas. Is it so hard?

Pedantic at its worst. How can a poster be upset today after some good progress from the club. What's the saying? Small things, and small minds!

I'm as pumped as anyone about today. Small minds are those that can't spell the names of their own players correctly. It isn't hard but this isn't the time or the thread for it, so because you seem upset, I'll move on.

you betcha. Vince actually won a b&f in a better team than sylvia's 5th place in a poor team

I don't think Vince has the explosive power of Sylvia - Unfortunately Col only produced this about twice a season. Further, I suspect Vince has more brainpower.

All up. Not a bad swap.

Wow. Nothing was reported on the news and it wasnt until I checked twitter I saw it. Sorry Colin who? Bernie is a great replacement for him and I reckon he will give us more in in his first season with us than Col ever did.

And Mark Robinson has the hide to write an article in todays sun saying we have lost momentum since we got roos. Well getting dom tyson and berie vince is a pretty good day. Good work Todd and co

On a only-very-loosely-related note, I wonder where the OP (D26) has gone? He's spent the last 6 months being close to the site's most prolific poster, but has had no account activity at all since October 3. That includes logins, 'lurking' etc. Bizarre.

So what picks do the MFC now hold given Vic, Bernie and Tyson are recruited?

9, 40, 56 ish.

Potentially we will look to do deals in this last week moving those later 2 picks forward or getting another one in the top 50ish by trading out players who haven't been getting a kick but might hold a little interest from other clubs (ie, Blease, Strauss, Tapscott).

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
