Same 5 as I would have had on the mfc site.

Maybe add Brayshaw who I'm predicting to quietly get back on the upward trajectory to be one of the best mids in the comp.

The other one being Weid. Last year the pressure was off a bit being thrown into the fire as the second key forward, then injuries finished his season. This year he needs to really put the foot down and try to find consistency with Jackson and Brown there for his spot. I think with Bayley being our second marking option now it might give Weid more freedom to play as a true CHF getting touches further up the ground to bring him into games more.

    I agree on the 5 they have suggested, but I'm also interested to see how Sparrow (thanks YB) performs this season.  He's looking a very likely type.

    Haha... thanks! Yes, I did mean Sparrow (I failed the Biddle's Bird Watchers entry exam... now I know why).  Fixed.

    Haha easy mistake.

    Rivers is another one who will be interesting to watch develop, could be called upon if we find ourselves with injuries down back.

    1. Coronavirus: the boom recruit to this season's list. Already has the attention of seasoned track watchers and is expected to wreak havoc on the park.

    2. Flu: flashy performer, flits in and out. Always chimes in mid-winter with some big performances but lacks season-long consistency.

    3. The Common Cold: an old stalwart, can always be relied on to make solid contributions in spite of being unfashionable and unloved.

    4. Acne: not considered best 22 but always there and thereabouts. Depth only.

    5. Diphtheria: potent when in the mix and certainly capable, but not expected to make much of an appearance in 2020.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
