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.

    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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
