The unofficial name of board is the Way To Go Trade Draft & Free Agency Board dedicated to the good folk at the other end of the continent who made possible draft picks 5 and 24 and last year’s first pick Matt Jefferson who is coming along  nicely at Casey along with one or two other little gifts.

Please note that all of the usual Demonland rules about posting apply there … and please be respectful 😀

    What does everyone think will happen on our list?

    I'm thinking:

    Grundy - Traded

    Harmes - Traded if interest there

    JJ - lose to free agency 

    Tomlinson - Traded

    Melksham - Retire

    Hibbard - Retire

    Dunstan - Not offered a new contract

    Ben Brown - Retire (may stay on the list and continue his AFLW coaching career with his contract as payment)

    That is 7-8 List changes which is a lot so I don't think they will all happen.  Some may also seam harsh but got to be ruthless. 

    Is a couple of other young guys that haven't shown much in the VFL but i can't see to many more list changes other than these, they will probably keep them and hope they benefit from another year of development. 

    We will more than likely carry a couple of SPP selections into next year.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
