I love Scully, thanks to him Hogan and Clark came to Melbourne. Sure Clark will leave but we'll get more than Scully for him at a fraction of the cost. I love how ordinary he is though

Yeah Clark has played 15 games in 3 years and set to leave while Hogan played about 5 minutes in 2014.

Hardly anything to be excited for.

Notwithstanding the disappointing outcome with Clark, his recruitment was an absolute coup for the Club that has struggled to attractive marque talent.

And if you can't realise the opportunity that Hogan could provide this Club then you should consider the hole we would have been in with a grossly overpaid and underperforming Tom Scully.

What was the deal with Barry? What did he cost us? Surely there were others a little more developed available- he still looks a couple of years off it!

Dare I say it...a Mark Neeld special!

From Barrett's regular Friday contribution on AFL.com:

If: Then:

Tom Scully wasn't on a million bucks a year... ...the Giants would be able to properly get involved in the Paddy Ryder bidding. He is, and they aren't able to.

They could apply to the AFL for special draft assistance because exceptional circumstances apply and they would have a fair chance of convincing Professor Mark Evans that they have a case. After all, they're a franchise club and lack experienced players plus its unfair, MABO, the constitution and the vibe are all in their favour.

I agree One Eye the way they were duped by Melbourne was so unfair. As seen on TV

He was steak knives in the Hogan deal, and pretty poor quality ones at that. Would have been worth a late pick in the draft 4th or 5th round.

Roos rubber stamped a 2 year extension for Dom Barry back in July of this year

The best judges of 1st and 2nd year draftees are the coaching staff. Us supporters are in no real position to judge because we often just don't see enough of these draftees to be able to make a decent judgement.

I'm happy to go with the Roos judgement on Barry

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    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.
