wow... This is a very helpful list... Thanks for posting this information...

From this list, the players that stand out to me are....

Nat Fyfe

Adam Goodes

Tom Mitchell

Andrew Gaff

Shaun Burgoyne

Harley Bennell

Matthew Pavlich

Corey Enright

James Kelly

Levi Casboult

Pretty sure Burgoyne signed a new contract for Hawks, so did Bennell for GC.

Pav will either retire or play one more year, if he plays on no way will it be for anyone but Freo.

Enright, Kelly, Goodes, no thanks. We're trying to build this team's future, old guys who will only stay for a year or two won't do the trick.

Fyfe/Mitchell I'd love at the Dees, Gaff would be handy and Levi could be anything.

    I think him being overlooked in his first draft, has put him in a very good place for a competitor. he's a beauty.

    Who?

    zaharakis.

    ...are you sure he was overlooked in his first draft? I don't think that's right.

    How did Bryce Gibbs' contract talks go? Would be handy off a half back flank

    We need another big key forward to replace Clarke. We need a 40-50 goal forward.

    Tippett? Stupid idea?

    Stupid idea. Buddy maybe?

    Coniglio... he is a star. BOG agst the Blues.

    Yep, one of Shiel or Coniglio would help build our midfield. Though if Frawley were to leave and we get good compensation, i'd rather trade the pick for a ready KPP and draft a mid.

    Then again it depends on what KPP's would be left come our pick. Wouldn't be too bad if Durdin was available at our pick and we were able to also bring in Shiel/Coniglio.

    Look hard at Hawthorn reserves(Box Hill)

    Grimley is big, strong, aggressive, and skilled.

    There's no likelihood of regular senior selection.... their forward line is settled .

    Hallihan is a tough "in and under" midfielder with little hope of regular AFL selection in the foreseeable future.

    I met Jordan Kelly, and he intimated to me that a few of their players are frustrated with being regularly in the best, with little hope of promotion.

    Overlooked in 2007 when 17 y/o's were still eligible to be taken in the main draft. Hawthorn were very keen and were set to take him in the third round, but Clarkson was dead set on getting Stuart Dew in and overruled the recruiters. Most recruiters were happy to have another year to look at him.

    Well, it does make it a rumour, it just doesn't make it true.

    I think so, pretty sure. When I was watching him at the 'G', Vic-Metro v Vic-Country; I remember hearing about him, or was it reading about him in the record? that he was overlooked the year before, and had come out all guns blazing that draft year, to achieve his dream.

    my picks were Zarharakis, & Blease as running players. Blease with more pace. Zarharakis was more of a smart runner, had a step to his game.... as it turns out with the more congested nature of the game since that year, that Zarharakis step is very handy in traffic.

    I went to watch Hurley, & noticed Watts as well for the first time.

    Isn't that how we got Brett Lovett.

    and Clarkson was right on. Dew was the man. .... and I wanted us to go after him, around 2005ish.. incredibly surprised when he announced his retirement the first time. I always liked his strong game, he was a favourite along with Shaun Burgoyne back around 2004/6.

    I still want us to go hard at Tex, but I think I may be in wonderland.

    One of my favourite players alongside Dangerfield, Elliott, Beams, etc, who doesn't play for us.

    As ive said numerous times on these sorts of threads, and yesterday proved me right again.

    We are desperate for some outside speed.

    Our midfield is still a way off, even if it has improved a bit. We lack serious midfield depth.

    Roos will be targeting more gun onballers no doubt

    Our KPP stocks are fine

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
