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.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • 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?
