I’m flabbergasted at the lack of Grade 1 English grammar and spelling on this site.

When you are extremely pleased with something it’s ‘rapt’ not ‘wrapped’. 

The difference between ‘too’ and ‘to’ and between ‘their’ and ‘there’ should be obvious unless you have a serious intellectual disability.

I could go on, but as many on here appear to be close to illiterate why bother?

Mate its a footy forum, not a board meeting..

    Why are we delisting players who are still make the 22 deep into a hopeful finals campaign?

    I'd hang onto all three of Kent Jkh and Tyson unless we are bringing in proven talent and experience. 

    I’m finding it a bit uncomfortable calling time on guys who are playing a part going into the most important month of footy the club has had in a decade.

    Will be back later.

    I don’t think Tyson is in our best 22 come round 1, next year. Especially if we manage to land Gaff. A club will probably sense he’s gettable, and might offer him a nice contract along with guaranteed AFL opportunities and in that case he’d probably request a trade

    If you're flabbergasted by Demonland, have a look at the other 17 AFL team fan forums... I bet we sound like Poetry. But on a side note, I too am frustrated when people can't distinguish "loose and lose."

    Yeah that one can be a bit frustrating. 

    Whike on the subject, why are there so many people in the general public (not on DL) who say ‘quite’ instead of ‘quiet’? 

    “Yeah that date shouldn’t be a problem mate, our factory has been quite lately.”

    Hunt should be retained. He shows great potential. He just needs to think more before he passes the ball. His position on the field may not be back. Perhaps wing or forward of centre. He’s fast and can kick long and accurately. It’s just his footy smarts with disposal that need improvement.

    And some even confuse ‘his’ and ‘he’s’. Including Tim Watson on SEN!!

    Hang on. Why are we trading out Tyson simply for a pick? Gaff would come in as a FA. Unless you package a pick you get for Tyson to get a real 'need' onto the list, I'd be holding on to Tyson as depth.

    To get someone with more speed and run into the team.  Or to trade up in this draft.

    Have to trade something to get something.

    Tyson is rebuilding his confidence and his disposal has picked up the last couple of weeks. Aside from confidence possibly getting used to have a little more time on outside rather than rushing disposal.

    Bumping his value up.   We have too many inside slowish Mids.   And not any of value to other clubs.

    Tyson would be on decent coin as well.

    This is the key DL5.

     

    And we have to continue churning, to stay near the top of the list pile.   We still have a way to climb to get to the top.

    Some of our kids are currently overrated on their output.

    Some are just starting to give.

    So do we now say goodbye to Messrs Bugg and Kennedy Harris.

    Garlett traded perhaps as well. (What a difference a season makes).

    both are out of contract so would be in danger of delisting

    Can someone please tell me if Garlett has a contract next year? If so, do we have a little chat or do we keep him on next year's list? At the moment he is showing little, but there may be a reason (family etc). After 3 game this year he was being touted as the best small forward in the competition, not sure what has happened.

    Contracted until the end of 2019.

    Hard decision..trade (would we get much) or retain. I think he will want to go somewhere that he gets game time and the game plan suits him.

    Our relatively crowded forward line does not suit him in my view.

    You would think that our method of haphazardly pumping the ball inside 50 would suit him to a Tee, and it did early, but something not right with him and unless he finds his mojo, he may be a casualty I believe

    Yeah not feeling good about his future with us at all now. Think that would be close to it.

    Interesting on Jeffy. Ross Lyon is looking for experience, could Jeffy fit the bill? He is from WA and provided they absorb his full contract he could be had for a pick in the 50- 60s range.

    Update post round 21

    Retired. Balic.  Vince (likely). 

    Delist Johnstone (re rookie). Bugg. Jkh. McKenna. King.  Filopovic (r) 

    Trade - Garlett to Freo pick 55-60 ish

    rookie upgrade - keilty

    T smith and Maynard stay as rookied

    that gives us 7 picks plus a rookie spot 

    add - 2 x free agents

    add - 5 through draft incl Toby Bedford 

    add - 1 rookie

    need to get a ruckman for Gawn backup

    It is a concern that we have not be able to identify / draft or trade-in a capable ruckman since 2009.

    rapt - feeling great rapture or delight.

    Wrapped - covered with.

    But let's face it, footy fan sites are exempt from grammar, spelling and sometimes commonsense and that is part of their attraction,

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
