We were a much better side late in the season when Frost came back in.

    Best backline in the comp? Must be close to it at the very least ...

    Tigers and West Coast are by far the best 2 off the top of my head in my opinion.

    Preuss to the bench. Gawn starts ruck.

    Great crystal ball imo for draft.   Real depth added.

    Adds to the pace and height in some positions we need but also grabbing super talented kids.

    Perhaps Fraser Turner instead of McKenzie at #28 but Mckenzie would be very good pickup nonetheless.

    Have been re-watching some of our games again lately and the rundown tackles, big marks, spoils and run out of defense Frosty gave us were awsome.  He really provided some drive at a time Oscar was fading a bit.  

    With some of the dash and precision forward passing that Frosty executed late season, not only Oscar, but Hunt should also be worried about their spots in the side.

    Great to have such depth and options back there.

    Below is what Melbourne’s best 22 looks like pre-draft:

    FB: Neville Jetta, Steven May, Jake Lever
    HB: Christian Salem, Oscar McDonald, Michael Hibberd
    C : Nathan Jones, Clayton Oliver, James Harmes
    HF: Christian Petracca, Sam Weideman, Bayley Fritsch
    FF: Jake Melksham, Tom McDonald, Mitch Hannan
    Fol: Max Gawn, Angus Brayshaw, Jack Viney
    Int: Jordan Lewis, Charlie Spargo, Alex Neal-Bullen, Kade Kolodjashnij

    Draft picks: 23, 28, 54, 62, 91

    Who could they target?

    Bailey Williams is an athletic forward who would no doubt be on Melbourne’s radar.

    The 198cm Dandenong Stingrays big man is capable of assisting in the ruck but is better viewed as a long-term key forward prospect who could be taken at 23 or 28.

    With pace and agility around the flanks a need, the Demons could look at a player in the mould of Sam Sturt.

    William’s Stingrays teammate is a half-forward who tested high in the running vertical jump as well as sprint and agility tests at the Draft Combine and could be developed over the next few years, provided he is still available at 23.

    The Demons are expected to bid for NextGen academy prospect Toby Bedford (another Stingray) with his pace, forward pressure and tackling ability his standout qualities.

    Medium-sized forward Curtis Taylor, from the Calder Cannons, may also be in the sights of the Dees with his overhead marking ability, doubled with his capacity to move into the midfield, both attractive attributes.

    Alternatively, Tasmanian outside runner Fraser Turner could also be an option for the Demons.

    At least this mob have Fritsch in, but I recon Vanders is definitely best 22 material, probably ahead of Hannan and/or Kolodjashnij on form at this point.  Love the bash and crash that Vanders brings and I don't think we could have too much of that (just think of those powerful Lions sides in the early 2000s).

    You'd certainly like to think that Kolodjashnij, Hunt or Frost would have Lewis's spot by the end of the season though.  Not a slight on Lewis as I thought he was very good last year, but you'd hope any of those young guys could drive themselves to force Lewis out of the side through hard work, their respective athletic ability and maturing as footballers.  There is also a sense that Lewis would have failed his role as a mentor if we can't stand on our own without the experience he brings.

    Will be a fascinating season for the MFC.  Just hope we don't get any crippling injuries.  A few years like Richmond had injury wise would be great.

    The forgotten man is Garlett.

    A fit and in form Garlett is easily best 22.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
