You could argue that we're not really off track since we finished second after the H & A season but in the spirit of seeking perfection and the fact that there's been an announcement of one major player moving on, we're going for the back on track tack.

Agreed, we need to bolster our ruck stocks now that Majak's moving on ... oh wait.

    Action Jackson has left the building. Don't want to say it but I was right. Melbourne stuffed up picking him at 3.

    Could not agree less. He turned the 2021 GF on its head in that third quarter and we will be compensated for the trade. In no way a stuff up.

    If only we stuffed up like that all the time, we would have a few more flags! 😉

    How have we stuffed up?

    We might actually end up with more.    If we end up dealing with W.C it will be pick 2, 20 and maybe something else. 

    For a pick 3 i would do the trade again and again.

     I can't be mad with LJ, i witnessed 15 minutes of footballing brilliance half way through the 3rd quarter of a GF.

    How? We are literally getting an upgrade in picks for him

    Jackson wants to go, it looked like his game changed for the worse mid season when he decided to.

    He will be good for who ever gets him, so long as he is motivated.

    For us, we have talls, JVR, Turner, Tmac, Weids as back-up ruck and Tomlinson as general back-up.

    What we need is a big bodied, hit the packs hard forward.

    Saw today there is rumour of Kysiah looking to go back to SA.

    There goes some "X factor" (if) , difficult to replace. Though at his stage of development, he found it hard to stay in the game for the 4 quarters. (Not the only player at our club with that problem.) 

    We have a few trying to be small forwards, but none are quite right. 

    I'd be looking for a tall Langdon clone, someone who can out-mark his opponent, run two ways, is clean with the ball and makes good decisions. 

    We need a back-up number one ruck if Max has some time off.

    Draft a 105+ kg forward.

    A 190+ cm mid/winger.

    A 200+ cm ruck

    A small who likes a goal and has the "X" factor.

    Out; M. Brown, Laurie, Rosman, Baker

    Hopefully Howes can fill that wing need at 190

    Howes is every bit that player tbh.  He looks very special in the way he reads the game. Just has a knack of popping up in the right spot.  Good over head, good kick - just need to work on the tank.

    It will be if all they cough up is pick 14 and Bailey Banfield as a sweetener.

    Players come and go. The important thing is we have a proven recruitment team to spot the talent and replenish the list. I'd be very confident JT will pick up a real player with one of the picks we get in the Jackson trade

    Power forward who is a strong mark. Recruit or trade.

    Wing/midfielder with excellent foot skills. Recruit or trade.

    Take the best available in the draft.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
