Wouldn't mind De Boer to play across half forward, at the moment we have Kent, Petracca and nobody else.

Plus Brayshaw, Vanders, Kennedy, Harmes, JKH and if there are other options at half back Salem can go forward. De Boer would be the last player I'd recruit. Had a nice career at Freo as a role player but the game has gone passed him and he'd be a list clogger.

Admire De Boer for making the most of his ability but at AFL level he is most definitely Jack Dyer Good Ordinary Footballer ilk.

Mids will rotate through half forward with reduced rotations.

Heard that where into Cameron O'Shea from port Adelaide with saints and the blues in the hunt. Hearing what Mahoney said about our backline today not surprised where into him. Thoughts??

Port supporters can't stand O'Shea. Even more of a whipping boy than Toumpas.

No doubt the biggest missing piece on the list is a 2nd ruck/forward. 

It is a very difficult position to fill, and one Boyd nailed on GF day.

The rest of our list is looking pretty strong, with potentially another half forward to be added, which you can always snare later on from another club.

I think O'Shea was shopped around last year as well, with no interest.

Frustrating player that has brain fades and poor disposal similar to Grimes & Garland.

dont need Tippett. Need something in the middle.

After Hibberd  I cant see us doing much but maybe targeting someone to better our mids stocks. Player mightnt be that A grader everyone wants just someone who betters the overall mix.

Weideman's grandfather was a mean bugger on the ball later on in his career, wonder if it could rub off?

Do you want Weed to be mean, or play on the ball?

He won't play on the ball, but he does attack the contest.

Personally, i would harden him, (although thinking weed might need a year or two under his belt) and Hogan up in the middle if we are going well next year about half way through. The sky is the limit with both these big and mean blokes.

Lol.  Well, a mask might help for starters.  Following from they're, I think Bbo might take the lead.

Perish the thought of Perth having good players on their list. They might actually challenge for a change..

Tropiano may be on the move to Subi. Be nice to see them up there for a change. Tigers will get back Kane Mitchell Alec Waterman & De Boer to with their already developing young mids and be pushing for top 4

Which is exactly why I question Footscray's interest in Choke. Ubfoftunately he also lacks agility and pace, the hallmark of Beveridge's game. 

Was talking about Todd Marshall.

Reportedly Frost of the Jack variety has agreed to terms with Brisbane pending a deal being done during trade week. 

I know there was a little discussion on him fitting with our needs, no more discussion needed it seems.

Might impact on Dunn depending on if they want a 2nd mature option or not.

It could do, although with the retirement of Merrett they are very light on for decent tall backmen.  They might even want Dunny to play forward as support for Schache and Hipwood.

    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

    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
