This is the list... there is no one else.

I get the concept, but I have to dispute the premise. Hugely presumptuous to think there won't be another top 10 pick. There almost certainly will. Plus the list is still being built, with the midfield being added to again next year. This is not "the list". Not yet,

The optimism around here is a good thing, a great thing, but there seems to be an EXPECTATION of a miracle turnaround seeping in. Roos needs time to fix this mess.

There is no doubt about your premise, but the point is, draft picks, as they were in the past, cannot be seen as a panacea. We are where we are now, because of that blinkered belief. The main point is, there are a number of pieces to the puzzle before we climb up the ladder. Draft picks may be part of the solution in the long run, but certainly in no way, are they the panacea once hoped for. No-one here realistically expects "miracles" from Roos, but our hope is that we begin to see something in 2014 that resembles team, unity and belief. If I see that, I will be happy. Anything else that may come our way will be a bonus as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed.

We'll have a top 10 pick next year, because, quite simply, we won't be good enough to get out of the bottom 10.

The list is also not complete. A list with Dunn, Strauss, Blease, Jetta, Nicholson, Pedersen, Byrnes and Tapscott on it is not complete.

Oh, and this is definitely NOT the list... at the end of 2014 it is not unreasonable to think that another 5 or 6 could be gone and there is certainly no guarantee that we won't be getting a top 10 pick again next year (in fact, it's probably odds on that we will).

Wait is this a thread for like a motto for our players or who we will have in 2014?

If its the 2014 thread wait till the next offseason to discuss it.

No, it appears to be more a thread dedicated to misconstruing its intent and missing the point.

Hahahaha,i think this is a bit of a crappy thread to be honest.

Sorry to drop this nugget and run. Thanks for taking the reins Beelzebub and Iva ws and yes that's what I meant.

Not literally the will be not further changes but rather the ideology that they should not rely on further injection but grow together, trust each other and expect to get results from the work they put in as a team.

Having said that can we turn Nicholson over now?

So...."This is the list guys! This is all we will have. Except you Dan; you're cut.

This is all we have! Neville? You're cut.

Those standing here are all we will have!!

I can't wait to cut you next year, Lynden..."

I don't really agree with the sentiment, Territory.

We are getting a top 10 pick next year, and maybe a good player in FA/trade. We don't have a good list. There is more pain and change to come.

Nah, I like Nev's attitude towards the pill, he can stay.

Sorry to upset so many but I think this list, (with a few MINOR tweaks i.e. no more quarter list dumps) can go places.

Go Dees and show em the path Paul!

Very profound Lord. I shall assume an appropriate Zen position and reflect on your wisdom.

That was a Neeld quote....btw whilst looking back on Neeld's tenure I found a post from Ron Burgundy Ï absolutely love Mark Neeld back in March 2013, that should be a lesson to us all, Lord Hear Our Prayer.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
