    You can't include Lever based on 10 games yet. That's just projecting. 


    Out: Heffernen, Lever, Pickett and Rodan
    In: Vince, Hibberd, Melksham and Garlett.

    You also forget Gary Baker, Stephen Icke, Peter Vardy and Peter Rohde. 

    How you could contemplate Rodan, Carman, Catoggio and Turley is beyond my comprehension. They played but a handful of games for Melbourne, none of them any good.

    How about Alastair Clarkson? I’d put him on the bench or coach.

    Checker Hughes worth consideration

    Jordan Lewis and I don’t have him in the current best 22.

    The significance of his decision to come to Melbourne can never be undersestimated for the credibility it gave a previously basketcase club.

    It also reinforced to the players, staff and long suffering supporters we were not only on the right track but heading into contention for a shot at a flag.

    Melksham and Hibberd are locks for this team. A big part of our resurgence as a force in the AFL.

    In ancient history, my grandad used to say that the importation of Percy Page and Checker Hughes from Richmond was the key element in setting up sustained success and 10 flags for Melbourne from the late 1930s till 1964.  

    In the current era Jackson/Goodwin have been the most important imports we’ve brought in, together with Roos - “the recession-buster we had to have” to paraphrase Paul Keating. Goody looks as though he’s a star in the making as a coach ?, but we did need Roos to get our moribund club through ICU and out of being on life support. 

    I know they’re not players, but they are likely to be the most important imports we’ve had for a long, long time.

    Can we squeeze Shaun Smith somewhere in there? For mark of the century alone.

    Yeah true, but Vince really made the inertia real, and introduced a style of play that the Dees could be proud of!

    Sure was. Had one real good year. Might have even finished on the podium in the B&F

    More than just taking mark of the century, Smithy was an absolute gun.

    Hard as nails (probably too hard for his own good given his concussion damage) and also provided a father-son who could still be anything for the MFC.  I'd find a way to squeeze him into the team somehow.

    Would be garenteed to feature in the highlights real for this side every week.

    • 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?
