    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..

    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.

    Honestly, does this thread need to be updated every second week?

    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??

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
