    • Demonland changed the title to Out Best 22 Imports
     

    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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
