I'm happy to put my hand up.  2 year deal, minimum wage (I'm happy to take a hit on what I'm on now).  A couple of years of free tracksuits, dieticians, personal trainers, and any free goodies that some of the stars are happy to throw my way.  I won't even request a trade at the end of next season or the one after.  Also happy to put up with 2 years of fan criticism on Demonland.

Just call me the modern day Lucas Cook.

    Sounds good to me Lucas. Can you put up your highlights tape so we can get an early start on hanging [censored] on you ?

    I feel like a developing mature tall that plays forward or back.

    I want to know who we're going to target with the all important Pick 97.

    Demonland aka One who is never afraid to ask the hard question.

    If only one of our many former Jacks was available.......

    Will be used to upgrade one of the rookies, Lockhart or Dunkley maybe? Opens up another spot on the rookie list while keeping a very low paid player on the senior list - no real difference between the rookie and senior list now anyway but if we go to the draft with 3 & 8 we need to use that pick.

    I concur

    The best state league key position forward is the only way to go. Find a Podsiadly type that can come and play a role for a few years.

    I guess it will be more like pick 70.  Most other clubs will be passing by then.  I suspect it will be a Dunkley or Lockhart upgrade to close out our deal.  We can then take DFA’s (Bennell, Buzza?) and Rookies as we move forward.

    Let’s split it. Two picks in the 100’s.....the possibilities are unreal.

    Rookie upgrades no longer require a draft pick number.

    Rookies are upgraded prior to the draft and I believe each upgrade acts as a draft pick (without the number attached)

    At least,  that's what happened last year so I'm assuming that's how they do it now.

    So unless we trade picks 3 & 8 ... it will probably be rookie upgrade,  pick 3 and then pick 8.  And we'll possibly make a bid on Tom Green at pick 3.

    Most clubs pass on picks that late. Maybe no-one or as mentioned the rookie upgrade. Lots of space on the rookie list now.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
