Arent you interested in who we're going to pick with selection 18 next year?

    Greg Clarke the one to watch from WA underager in the U/18 championships this year playing across Half Back. Smooth mover and was given the occassional run in the Subiaco Colts (coached by Stevie Armstrong) through the midfield and showed a bit.

    Will be very interested to see what they do with him this season. He will be drafted just a matter of where he goes another Northern Suburbs boy from the Sorrento-Duncraig production line

    Parish

    Mathieson

    Burton

    Cole

    O'Kearney, Schache, Stewart and Weitering could be around the mark too.

    Any idea where Jake Lovett would go if on the open market?

    I think he was being talked up as a first round pick a while ago, but these things change during the year.

    Still think he's a first rounder, but probably fringes of the top 10 rated kids at this stage.

    Someone tell him to put the brakes on. Or at least get him to play for Manangatang 3rds.

    I hope he is like his father - slow, thighs like treetrunks, couldn't jump - and an absolute champ....

    Brett had the wonderful ability to find space where there was none. Surrounded by four opposition players, deep in the back pocket, and Father Time slow generally meant the odds were heavily in Brett's favour. Bit of a hip shimmy and out would come a perfectly weighted handball to a running Melbourne player.

    Along with Sean Wight one of my all time favourite players

    As others have said another Demon team featuring Lovett, Stretch and Viney can only be a good thing

    Not a ruckman mentioned, after a couple of years of limited new ruck intakes already.

    Competent full-time ruckmen could be the next 'shortage' player type, with ridiculous, long and overpriced contracts and top trade value.

    Also suggests that even a rough-and-tumble, slightly goofy ruckman could become a valuable asset overpowering scrawny young or part-time rucks filling the generational gap.

    Jake Spencer may yet get through to 100+ games.

    nah not put brakes on put weight on & play flat out. he can't help if he hasn't a tank. or the obsessiveness to train to elite fitness.

    Wouldn't let the shortage of ruckman in the 2015 draft this far out bother me or even in 12 months time if there is a perceived lack of ruck stocks

    Darren Jolly, Dean Cox, Aaron Sandilands, Ivan Maric, Sam Jacobs, Shane Mumford and Mike Pyke have all been significant contributors to their sides over the last 15 years. There will always be ruckman popping up.

    Hopefully Jake continues to keep a low profile...

    heard he had a major drug problem and likes a drink too much and nightclubbing to 4am

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
