October 6th, 2014, Melbourne has a good draft hand thanks to their lowly finish and the departure of James Frawley as a free agent to Hawthorn.

Jeff Garlett, Heritier Lumumba and Sam Frost have joined during the trade period and Mitch Clark is traded to Geelong.

Dom Barry and Shannon Byrnes retired, and Sam Blease, Mitch Clisby, Michael Evans, Alex Georgiou, Daniel Nicholson, James Strauss and Luke Tapscott were all delisted.

The National draft saw Christian Petracca (2, Thankyou St Kilda), Angus Brayshaw (3), Alex Neal-Bullen (40), Billy Stretch (42 father son) and Oscar McDonald (53) added to the list.

Neville Jetta was elevated from the Rookie list.

The Rookie draft saw Aaron Vandenberg (2) and Mitch White (20) added as rookies.

Simon Goodwin joins the Demons in late 2014, serving as an assistant coach under Paul Roos as part of a succession plan to take over as senior coach.

Brendan MacCartney Departs the Western Bulldogs and is lured to the Demons. The appointment is seen as one for the long term, with Demons’ coach-in-waiting Simon Goodwin seeing McCartney as the ideal offsider and confidant for his tenure.

Disaster in February for Petracca. The 19-year-old's knee buckled after falling awkwardly in a marking contest, forcing him to limp from the track. Scans after the training incident confirmed the terrible news, a rupture of the ACL in his left knee. He was to miss the entire season, returning to training late in the year.

Fan favorite Jack Trengove continues to recover from an injury to his navicular which occurred early in the 2014 season which saw him miss almost two years of football and effectively ends his career.

Christian Petracca, Angus Brayshaw and Alex Neal-Bullen are now added to the list of only men still standing along with, Jack, T.Mac, the skipper and Salem.

The season saw green shoots appear with 7 wins and a rise on the ladder to 13th.

Enjoy.

    I am really loving this series 6Six6, such a critical time for the Club.

    I'd forgotten how immense Trac's physique was even as a new draftee. An absolute bull.

    Aside from some poor losses in May, 2015 was a pretty enjoyable year and we started to win 1 in every 3 games which was a heck of a nice change.

    Loved the win over Collingwood that year.

    First win over them since 2007 and absolutely stunned them in the last quarter to win an upset.

    A Saturday arvo win over the Pies at the MCG. Doesn’t get any better.

    The win down in Geelong was special as well.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
