Daniel Nicholson.... This thread is talking about contracts right?

 

Michie jones tyson Vince Dawes hogan Clark! The rest just carry on!!

If Clark and Frawley are headed for all Australian I think we would be all feeling very good about ourselves.

 

James Strauss

We need a good kick and decision maker in the backline.

He also has really good speed - perfect rebounding defender.

I refuse to jinx any of our players by naming them in this thread!

We might need to invest in a shredder so we can do Pedersen's and Byrnes contracts at the same time.

wont it be a joyous ocasions when Nichsolson, Pederson, Byrnes and Dunn are all gone.

Jack Watts, obviously. Time to fire up and become a leader with actions and stop looking for motivation from external sources. It's all in you my friend

I don't care if he becomes a leader or not all I want from him is some desire.

A little pinch of Jack Viney and you could have a great player but then again you could say that for any player.

Put Jack Viney's head on Jack Watts' body and you'd have a brownlow medal.


Sylvia, I think he is due this year...

Oh wait... Nevemind

Just needs a good preseason Right?

Has to be Supermitch doesnt it?

This guy is a massive component of the Demons makeup make no mistake.

In saying that he needs the ball delivered to him silver service so Trenners next in line to rip it up.

I only hope that one day soon my team comes back from its 7 year holiday.

I miss them and their replacement are only at VFL level at best.

Mind you there a few good public speakers in the replacement team so all must be good!

Well who would I like to see go well next season. There is Collingwood, MessyDrugs and Brisbane Bears to choose from, oh wait there a team called Melbourne, I think I go for them next season.

Players to improve THE WHOLE MFC TEAM as they done nothing in seven years so they should all be nice and rested.

No pressure, but HOGAN. If this kid comes in and does a Carey things will change around here very quickly.

I really hope you mean Wayne and not Mariah. You'd be right either way, though - things would change around here very quickly.

Love to see on a regular basis, Viney handballing to Toumpas on the Wing, looks up kicks long to Hogan 30m out direct in front Goal. The three house mates ripping it up together.

Watts is the other one, the bloke has copped it from the day he was drafted.


  1. Jack Watts ( just to shut a few around here up!)

wont it be a joyous ocasions when Nichsolson, Pederson, Byrnes and Dunn are all gone.

And there will be another four whipping boys to take their place.

I agree. Let's not see Watts turn into the next Sylvia and show promise but never consistently deliver.

I'm tipping that with some excellent coaches finally at the club, Jack will be off the chain.

Toump and Trenners. Both have been judged to harshly and had battles with there bodies in there very short period in the game.

I think they will show lots this year and feeling a little smug about how good trenners will be this season.

I would love nothing more than Watts to rip it up. Not sure if he ever will but wow he desserves it to shut some very annoying people up.

Clayton Collard (which ever league he is playing in...) so H can finally stick it to Sleeve.

MFC wise, Tappy for me. I want Tarzan to play like Tarzan, not Cheetah.


I would think that the performance of the revamped Midfield will have a lot to do with the improvement of others

I'm particularly keen to see Toumpas do well simply because some people were so absurdly unreasonable in their criticism and expectations of him last year.

That was an embarrassment.

None of those people have any right to ever complain about anyone else's culture problem. Seriously, writing off an 18 year old without a preseason. Bet you felt big.

Having said that, we have quite a selection of underperformers/injury victims to choose from.

Players I'm confident can improve their performance overall,

Watts, Howe, McKenzie.

Players who have been held back by injury, but clearly have quality.

Clark, Dawes, Gawn, Grimes, Trengove.

Young players who you'd have to have a bit of confidence in seeing progress from

McDonald, Viney, Toumpas, Kent, Clisby, Terlich, Fitzpatrick.

The 'hopeful' or 'last chance' basket.

Strauss, Blease, Tapscott, Bail, Spencer.

But deep down, what we all want is for Nathan Jones to lift yet another notch and, in a more competitive midfield, become recognised as leading midfielder AFL-wide.

 

Watts has huge room for improvement and he needs to show it next year, it's his 6th year in the system and it's make or break.

Howe has a tremendous upside and if he can get his act together he could be the player of the year for us; he has the tools but to me he seems as if he just coasts through games.

Dawes if he can stay on the park will surprise a few, he took 12 marks in a game against Hawthorn at the G and showed what he is capable of; needs to do it more often.

Jimmy Toumpas and Jack Watts for me.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
