    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??

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • 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?
