- A top four finish and a Premiership. 

- Wins over Geelong, Richmond (Anzac Eve), Sydney, Collingwood (Kings B'day) A MUST!!!

- More rotation of players through the year so there's a healthy competition for senior spots. 

- Kozzy contract extension.

- News on our MFC facility finally chosen/ preparation underway. 

- Increased revenue for the club from it's investments.

- Sign a big sponsor.

- Oliver to win his Brownlow.

- May to spear tackle Jackson and bust a few ribs without being suspended. 

- Oliver and Brown to shave their heads for a much cleaner look. Langdon to grow his back lol. 

- A healthy 60,000 supporter membership tally after a disappointing 2022 exit.

    A happy TEAM playing for each other and the rest will take care of itself.

    A bit more versatility, free wheeling and enjoyment in the way we play. 

    I love the defensive effort the players give and the joy they have in that but our best footy is fast, creative and brave. It trusts the next guy in the chain calling for the ball is either free or can win a contest. 

    Do that and if the coaches and footy department make enough of the right calls managing the players we’ll be in with a shot.

    Did anyone else notice the team is really happy this year? It seems we have the right balance with things at the moment. The players are always smiling and cracking jokes in photos I see. Morale and training intensity is high, which can only be a good thing. I just feel like we are humming away ready to take the opposition to the sword. We are ready!

    Another flag. anything less is a failure and those are the lofty expectations we should all embrace. 

    this list is primed.

    Flag, obviously, but the thing that I want to see because I believe it's the best predictor ...

    I want us to be number 1 in the comp for forward 50 tackles again. We dominated that stat in 2021 (from memory, ANB and Kozzie were #1 and #2 in the league) and completely dropped away in 2022. Bring that pressure again, turn the ball over higher up, force oppo quick kicks to Lever/Gawn/etc., and we're well on the way to Cup #14.

    I’d like to see the players enjoying their football. 
    2021, the team were clearly enjoying their football and celebrating each others success.  They’re looked fresh, happy and enthused.

    2022, they looked like they were ‘all business’ and it seemed to weigh them down come the second half of the year.

    I would like to see them hungry and happy.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
