    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..

    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.

    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??

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
