Well, sam, the FD clearly think differently.  Now ... who will I back?

Last year we set the precedent to trade out player/s in contract.  So not sure our trade options are only OOC players.  The lack of love for Tyson, Garlett, Frost, and Hunt (when not injured) suggests they might be the trade bait that would have some currency. 

Agree every player is tradeable but still not sure what type of player/s we would be going after that justify giving up OMac and Gus.

...this might be a discussion best in another thread...

Nah.   Why break the long held Demonland tradition of introducing irrelevancies into a thread.

He will request a trade 

Here’s the bit where you clarify if you’re speculating, know something or are just plain making **** up.

Suspect I already know the answer.

Why are we finalising the second last player on the primary list in July of the previous year?

I just don't see why this had to happen now.

Chomp earned his 2 years. Has continued to build his game and is in best 22 now.

A bit surprised with wags, but it makes sense for depth considering Vince might not go on and lever is 10 months away from playing footy.

I hope both boys can have some success

Yes I'm surprised also.

Q: Are OMac and Brayshaw trade bait? (thinking outside the box)

Harmes, Wagner re-signed...

Hunt ???

I don't mind Wagner, always had more time for him than a lot of others have, but if he does get a game I think it has to be as high half back and the slowest defender. Given Vince is nearly certainly done at the end of this year and Lewis shouldn't be in the side either we will have plenty of spots in the team/on the list to fill so I'm not concerned about giving him another year. I think he can kick, mark and read the play at AFL standard and has good endurance, just isn't quick or overly strong so can get caught out. Playing up the ground with some athletes around him and he can do the job.

I also think there's a strong chance they draft his brother based on his VFL form and attributes so far this year so keeping Josh over some other bottom of the list players makes sense.

Harmes - still not convinced by him on the wing, but he has physical attributes to play well on ball, at half forward and to me at half back. If he's 22nd picked we'll have a very good team. How much his decision making can improve in this next contract will determine if he plays for a very long time after or not. 2 year deal is interesting, maybe we only wanted to commit at good money for 2 years, or maybe his manager is chasing a big contract and trying again in 2 years.

So have I,,, 'DSpcr'.

 I like his run and take it on,,, but the rest isn't there, just yet.  So there is always the question mark of, 'where he's at', atmo... 

He's been given one more, to make good. ???  I hope he does, because he has the attack we want, but needs the rest.

    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
