Gaff might still be worth chasing.  He could be very useful in helping us land a big fish in trade week.

if the choice is between Gaff or Amon i think id pick gaff. we're in a window now lets make sure of it. WCE can pay some of his ridiculous wages. the main reason any move to victoria fell through was the hit on brayshaw that he had to like 'repay' the club and the only team who had the funds for him was north so he stayed. but i can definitely see this working for us. the same way chasing isaac smith would have and is currently for geeling

I was just reading some old posts here and realised we haven’t heard from @Sir Why You Little for a few months.

Hope he’s doing ok.

I presumed there was a ban due to their combative style. Nonetheless, I hope they’re ok.  I always imagined him as the hardest man on Demonland. Bit like Barry The Baptist on LS2SBlock stock and two smoking barrels GIF

WCE have to look to off load players as they have Salary cap issues.

Not a good place, well and truly past their best with some big contracts and no kids coming through.

Getting Tim Kelly was meant to keep them in contention.

It will be a very slow rebuild.

Somewhat prophetic. 

When you look at their performances in 2023 on aggregate as shown up in % I'd say they are in the same sort of hole that we were in around 2011.  Of course, we'd already off loaded all the veterans by then and were already attempting to invest in youth.

West Coast have been one of the most successful teams of the AFL era, so I'm not particularly empathetic to their current predicament.

Under Goody we stand for contest & defence, Gaff fails both dismally.

That's part of the problem really A great side has multiple type players who can stand up and play strong but win games on their ability alone. 

we have clearly not enough X factor  players with  ability up forward at  the  moment to  win games especially in tight last quarters. 

This Goody likes certain types all over the ground has to alter as it is not working. Howes perhaps is a chance to be one and I have no doubt that Jefferson when he has another pre season or two will develop his exceptional forward skills. JVR of course should in the next 2 years develop as a fine leader of our attack unless we get another trade in to perform the No1 role.

I told a WC supporter last week ( on a Train Special Trip all around Switzerland heavy AFL discussion) that no one on the East Coast of Australia especially in Vic cared a toss about the Eagles and their predicament. 
In fact that them and The Pies are most hated opponents as their supporters are the worst and most arrogant in the AFL. 
He still thinks that it will only take 2 seasons to be back in the hunt but alas is a bit impatient about who they are going to trade out and when are they going to start getting rid of most of their gassed and banged up heroes of 2018. And who is going to want any of them in their present malaise?

That's just taken the MFC gone to the snow in the Range Rover stereotype to a whole new level 58er! 😂

Perhaps it's the overwhelming WA support for our Demons in 2021 and winning a flag ourselves that has tempered my outright hatred of WC into something less bitter.  They were a bloody good side under Malthouse through the 90s, so disiplined with their ball use, game plan and had a winning habit that I was quite envious.  They probably should have won a few more flags during that era. 

Still the PF losses we had to them in the West in 94 and 18 cut pretty deep and I was particularly [censored] in 94 when we had such a gun side that had been very competitive for a good 7 seasons, but couldn't crack a flag. Their arrogance in the aftermath of the 2018 prelim was also pretty hard to stomach. Travelling over the West for a prelim is always going to be a hard ask, still in retrospect on both occations they pretty much earnt the right through being consistent through the season and finishing the home and away in a ladder position that set them up for finals sucess - something I'm hoping our Demons of this era can emulate.

    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 move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
