    2030, at the latest.  Love to know our future side in 12 years time.  I wonder if Nathan Jones will go around again?

    I'm looking not right now but probably the half way point when we get Lever. If we want to be a premiership team we have to make changes our team is still too slow and not enough good ball users.

    I've made the tough decision in retiring Jones and Lewis and we have the worst key position player in the comp in O.Mac and we have no small forwards..

     

    B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER

    FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, BRAYSHAW

    IC: VINEY, JORDON, HARMES, FRITSCH

     

    Kolodjashnij to take Salem's role, Salem into the midfield to add some much needed class.

    Hunt and Baker to give us speed on the wings.

    Chandler seems like our most gifted small forward unfortunately.

    Jordon and Fritsch as our good ball users off the bench.

    Thoughts?

    Like it. Hope it materialises this season. Just need to blood replacements for Hibberd & Jetta down the track.

    Why no Petracca ? Is one of our better ball users ! Just misses set shots fir goal.

    How good  do you know that Chandler will become He definitely seems more skilled than other smaller forwards I agree but not unfortunately.

    Looks good and  obviously some players need building up and devrloping size and strength. 

    Also need turnover of coaches under Goody st end of 2019.

    Simply he is not a hard enough worker... and so misses 2/3rds of most games.

    Chandler brings nippy play and evasiveness, plus his speed and run with the ball.  He stops us being as Vanilla, when with the ball.

     

    I think our coaches are some of the best in League.  We don't need to knee jerk, because we are struggling so far in 2019.

    Updated. Stretch definitely in the Dunn, Martin,  Trengove,Watts status. Outside the coach’s plans so will probably ask to be traded.

    sure, i mean...why not? it's all a bit of fun on a messageboard....

    i prefer to think of it in terms of list - who'll still be on it in 2023, at the start of the next tv rights deal?

    likely still on the list:

    1. may (turns 31 in 2023)
    2. salem (28)
    3. harmes (28)
    4. petracca (27)
    5. viney (29)
    6. lever (27)
    7. spargo (24)
    8. brayshaw (27)
    9. gawn (31 on dec 31, 2022)
    10. oliver (26)
    11. hannan (29)
    12. preuss (28)
    13. hunt (27)
    14. fritsch (27)

    uncertain (let's say half of them are still on the list at the start of 2023; i've highlighted a guess of a dozen still with us):

    1. bedford (23)
    2. hibberd (33)
    3. stretch (27)
    4. kolodjashnij (28)
    5. frost (30)
    6. melksham (32)
    7. vandenberg (31)
    8. jordon (23)
    9. kennedy harris (28)
    10. nietschke (23)
    11. o mac (27)
    12. neal-bullen (27)
    13. sparrow (23)
    14. baker (25)
    15. hore (27)
    16. petty (24)
    17. jetta (33)
    18. j wagner (29)
    19. j smith (27)
    20. chandler (23)
    21. c wagner (26)
    22. lockhart (23)
    23. walker (28)
    24. keilty (28)
    25. bradtke (23)

    unlikely:

    1. jones (35)
    2. lewis (37)
    3. maynard (32)
    4. garlett (34)
    5. t smith (32)

    so, here's round 1, 2023 (give or take end of trade / draft period of the next four years, natch, player fitness, etc., etc.)...

    B: Jetta - May - Lever
    HB: Salem - Petty - Fritsch
    ? Harmes - Brayshaw - Hannan
    HF: Petracca - T Mac - Hunt
    F: Preuss - Weideman - Melksham
    Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney
    I/c: Spargo - Sparrow - Lockhart - J Smith
    Emerg: Frost - Hore - C Wagner - Bradtke

    tbh, it's not wildly different from now - the 14 or so who should, hopefully, still be with us are core players of our team now, with virtually four full seasons ahead of them

    of course, some of them may choose to retire after winning four premierships in a row from 2019-2022 inclusive.........

    Don’t think Sparrow is uncertain. He will almost certainly be a gun in a couple of years time.

    But who will be the coach in 2023??

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
