Garner? Wooller?  Midfield runner needed.

Can't understand why I'm excited about it. I'll be sitting on the edge of my couch when our picks come around, heart rate climbing, maybe a bit of sweat on the brow, in nervous anticipation of pi

Wayne Carey, only shorter and I’m not sure what position he plays.

I can't wait to form an opinion on each of the draftees based on their 3 minute highlight clips and then stubbornly refuse to change it for the rest of their careers.

Every draft seems to have a few surprising names to miss but if every club passes them up then that has to tell you something....

Fantastic that Hamish Brayshaw has a gig with WCE so will be in WA with his brother, Andy at Freo.

Very happy for the Brayshaw family.

Far too nice, LH.  Ruins our chance of luring Andrew back in two years time! ;)

Yes needed Baker. There’s a spot there if he’s good enough. I have seen in the NEAFL and has the pace required.  A good pickup in the end.

If we get one player out of this lot we have done well.

It's a numbers game at these picks...we had 3-4 picks so to get 1 B to B+ level player would be a good result, 2 exceptional.

Lets hope.

They are trying to recreate our success of 2013.

I’m happy for Barry, but that is taking the [censored] by Port.

They aren't the only ones that have scavenged on the carcasses of our pretendergasting.

    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

    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
