Can't see how a trade could be orgestrated for Martin. 

As for Deludio the Tigers list is in terrible shape so they'll be looking at picks and are in a position to pay a good portion of his salary. 

Gold.

What the feck are teachers getting paid for these days?

Hanley wouldn't be a bad pick up considering we need a bit of pace off half back. 

Really? Hunt not quick enough? We have more than enough HBFs

Hoskin-Elliot anyone?

Had a good couple of year early on from memory. 

I'm a fan. Not getting a regular game at GWS is no crime given how much talent they have up there. I'd be thrilled if we could get him in.

Amazing how GWS have all these blokes in the 2's that can't get a game. They'll get decent draft pics for these blokes and continue to pick up more talent.

I recall a couple of us advocating a big push for Zak Jones, when he wasn't getting games at the Swans. Too late now.

Zak Jones is a reasonable player but not much to get excited about.  Hunt, Salem, Jetta, Hibberd, probably Melksham all have him covered.

Fair call, Hunts a jet but we could do with another quick. 

 

Nup I beg to differ, if the right trade came up I would part with him! Brayshaw that is!

Jeez people on here overrate Melksham. What are his credentials as a backman?

Very small sample size, but he played off half back in the last half dozen games of 2015 and did quite well. Goodwin recruited him to fill a half back role off the back of these games.

We need more long term guaranteed best 22.  We don't need more Bugg or Kennedy or slightly better versions of them.  We need very good players who will push Vandenberg and Garlett down to depth.  We should be chasing Mitchell and Hartlett.  We have enough talented youth coming through.  I'd be happy to put next year's 1st on the table.  It's self-fulfilling, with Mitchell and/or Hartlett in our team we finish higher.

I am not a fan of Kennedy. Don't see him lasting long with us.

Redleg,I am not convinced we can give away a first round pick two years running and if you could it would be like a dog chasing its tail. The important thing is to recruit two delisted  experienced players out of Scott Thompson,Harvey and Petrie. Lets not get on the too old, too slow bandwagon,Harvey will get more Branlow Votes than most Dee players.We need to get another Hunt and a ready to go young guy to play ruck/forward or we turn O'Mac into that kind of player. We also need a CHF and a CHB. Regarding BUGG and KENNEDY we need to step them which could be done  via physical training or whatever. Duryea of Hawthorn took 4yrs to become a regular player.Recruitment is important to get the right people.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
