Carrying Brown, Baker and others on the list was a waste of list spots. And Munro, White, Dunstan and Grey playing most of the midfield minutes is someone’s decision.

Its hard work watching Melbourne young players stuck in peripheral roles. 

Take those players out of the team, and Casey probably don't win 20 games for the season and a premiership. Surely, team success is invaluable for player development?

They finally gave Weid a job of holding the number 1 ruck spot and he has developed more in 4 weeks than in the last 4 years.

Casey have just won a flag and you're  complaining 🤭

Lots of great young talented kids coming through.

Good for Casey, but for the sake of Melbourne we can’t carry so many experienced fringe players and VFL players chewing up important minutes.

Casey’s first priority is to develop afl players and that needs to be reinforced next year.

Remember when people complained because we didn’t have a winning culture?

Congratulations Casey, super effort on the 2022 VFL flag, keep building this culture within the club.

I hope we never see JVR in the VFL again, he’s pure class.

With Jackson now Gawn, Weideman could have a chance as a permanent second ruck.

I like this a lot because Weed would kick goals as a resting ruck in the forward line

I just can't see Weid at AFL level, if Grundy is recruited to the club no chance.

And we would avoid the huge risk that Grundy is.

I'd rather use all the money to go all in for Harry McKay.

This is the 700k question

Pity he hasn't had long in the role.

Needs to assert himself around the ground

I think he did amazingly well. Hopefully goody just does this and saves us 400k a year for a decent forward. In 4 months he has effectively taken up full time rucking duties and has done amazingly well

The players really love Weideman. Maybe they’re just happy for him. 
 

So nice to see all the senior guys there. I reckon the ones missing are all going to the Brownlow tonight (Trac, Clarry, Gus and May). 
Gawn doesn’t have to do his hair so he can squeeze in both. 

May was there at the start I saw him drive into the car park.

Not to mention that Mitch Brown provides excellent protection and education for someone like JVR.

Is there anyone who thinks winning a premiership is a bad thing?

A few Southport supporters on Facebook going off that we stacked the team with AFL players and cheated haha

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
