3pm AEDT according to the AFL website.

Jason Taylor told my ghostwriter today at training that it's a formality, that once paperwork is done, we'll have Ricky Mentha.  By the end of today he'll officially be a Demon.  Good news :)

 

Great video with our two new boys!

Good to know they'll both have a buddy early on.

A really great little vid.  He does them quite well.  How trippy the boys are again teammates. 

Some talent there .

Good luck Tricky Dicky and umm  Tricky.. ( still working on that I guess 🤣 )


No live rookie pick for us.

AMW might be a cat A after all.

Get an Irish Cat B please!!!

Another Irishman at the Demons would be wonderful.

But besides choosing Ricky Mentha do we have any category B rookie spots left?

Ok Dazz, the lowdown please, who does he play like and what do you see??

Welcome to MFC Ricky Mentha, so glad that you were picked up in the Rookie Draft you could be the trail blazer for the Alice Springs youngsters that want to strive for VFL/ AFL opportunities and I’m sure that Kozzie and AMW will get around you as well as Deakyn Smith at Casey.

Deakyn was delisted a while ago.

Hi Redleg I read on Demonland that Deakyn has re-signed with Casey and Thomastown, so will hopefully see him back in our colours when needed.

Since we call Jake Lever Rick, perhaps we should call Ricky Mentha Jake?

Great article if-you-can-see-it-you-can-be-it-melbourne-demons-recruit-ricky-mentha-jnr-from-alice-springs-aims-to-inspire

He has entered very familiar environment:  stayed with May and Pickett last year now living with Viney, overseen by Whelan and playing with his Gippsland captain:  XL.  Doesn't get much better than that for a draftee!

A real compliment to Whelan: "(He) ... as Indigenous welfare development manager and is widely regarded as one of the best in the business".  

Has to be good for us in Alice that we have a local lad on our list.  Ricky and Kozzie will be very popular when we play there next year.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
