also, letting everyone know, after much deliberation with the coaching panel of M_M and our new franchise owner, we have decided to offer Dale Thomas the much sought after keeper spot instead of Chris Masten.

There will be a press conference later today, but he is very happy to be doning the light blue with red and yellow vs.

Thanks MM, as previously mentioned I'll allow changes to the keepers up until the day before the draft due to injuries. Everyone has until this Sunday to finalize their keepers, the reason for this is that it gives everyone a week to work on their draft strategy but if anyone changes their keepers then the 'pre-draft rankings' section has to be redone. I don't want anyone to be disadvantaged due to a late injury but I also don't want people to lose all their work unnecessarily.

Enjoy the holiday!

Hi, with regards to MM wanting to change keepers re Mastens for Thomas- I am against the change.

You have made the rules do everyone knew....that being that keepers are locked in unless injury.

I cannot see that Mastens is injured, if he is, then I accept the change, if not your rule applies and it should be disallowed IMO.

The injury change was in regards to Thomas, due to him only playing his first game yesterday and continual speculation about his injury status, it was impossible to lock the keeper without the knowledge. I didn't want to be stuck with a keeper who was on the indefinite injury list the whole season

Edit: it was immediately after the game he played and it is still a week til draft day, having said that if it is an issue with all, am happy to stick with Masten

It's fine.

Jarka has said that people can make changes up until the draft - it is a gratuity that we give ourselves a week to look at the available number of players.

We simply do not need to make this so draconian.

My first reaction is that I won't allow MM's change, and that's purely from the point of view that I was wanting to pick Thomas up quite early myself.... :)

I did make the rule, however this game is meant to be a bit of fun, we're not playing for sheep stations and I don't want to start the season off on a negative note. I put it in place to get everyone organised and to set the keepers, and it achieved it's desired result. MM has been on holiday and probably hasn't been able to commit enough time to setting it up properly, so I'm going to allow it. I apologise to anyone who now has to redo their pre-draft selection list.

Thanks very much :)

I do apologise!

Yeh the life of a uni student, 10 weeks of travel has been awesome! Now I'm back and ready for the real deal!

I'd like to change my keeps, also, from Beams, Prestia, Kerridge, Crouch to Beams, Prestia, Crouch, Kerridge to reflect the projected rankings.

Seriously JCB, anyone who was going to nominate Masten as a keeper won't be one to worry about this season ;)

JCB, if you want to change them just let me know

Sincere thanks for your kind offer...just wanted to suck someone or some in....Gee I did not think I would ever suck in a Moderator...

I thought about changing montagna for Stanton as I have just been told this week that Montagna cannot play first week due to suspension, whichI honestly did not know due to Cancer treatment in China..

However as I do not to upset a Moderator ,I will belt him in a game...

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025. Date of Birth: 7 August 2003 Height: 185cm Games MFC 2024: 23 Career Total: 48 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 1 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1 Melbourne Football Club: 7th Best & Fairest: 347 votes

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5
