    I’ll wait until late November post all the trade and draft process is fully completed.  

    I will wait even longer.  Maybe even until after a bit of preseason and practice matches.    
    OMG what pressure WERRIBEE is putting on the young draft picks.  For example were they JVR or Jefferson would he throw them straight in ?

    Premature speculation thread!

    I think speculation is the wrong word.

    we won't have pick 5 or 13; we're all in for pick 1

    anyone who doesn't have hunter and langdon as our starting wings is just being silly

    Might be harsh on Hunter but Langdon deserves to be dropped shocker of a year.

    Quality thread, you should do a 'Christmas special' starting line-up too and one every week from then until Round 1!

    I might just do that thanks.

    Mate, let's wait until we have at least finalised our list for 2024.

    Too many things up in the air with our draft capital and forward line predicament.

    Also coaching appointments may mean we are more attacking off HB, or with the wing position…

    Spot on. He slipped over all night and made several basic skill errors. His kicking was bloody awful. The Collingwood game was the same

    MELBOURNE

    B: Adam Tomlinson, Steven May, Trent Rivers

    HB: Judd McVee, Jake Lever, Christian Salem

    C: Lachie Hunter, Clayton Oliver, Ed Langdon

    HF: Alex Neal-Bullen, Bayley Fritsch, Charlie Spargo

    F: Shane McAdam, Harrison Petty, Jacob van Rooyen

    FOLL: Max Gawn, Christian Petracca, Jack Viney

    I/C: Angus Brayshaw, Jake Bowey, Tom Sparrow, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler (sub)

    It hasn’t been the cleanest pre-season for the Demons on the injury front, particularly up forward – where they can probably least afford it. Recruit Tom Fullarton (hamstring) and Ben Brown (knee) will miss the opening rounds, while Shane McAdam, Harrison Petty (foot) and Tom McDonald (calf) have also had disrupted summers and Jake Melksham is still recovering from his ACL tear. Lachie Hunter (calf) is also in doubt and Christian Salem was on light duties last week. Kysaiah Pickett, who’s had a ripping pre-season, is suspended for Round 1, while Joel Smith is also absent after his provisional suspension for a positive cocaine test after a game last season. Plus, no Fullarton and Brodie Grundy’s exit means the Dees have limited ruck cover behind Max Gawn to start the season. The biggest question isn’t a physical health issue, but a mental health one, with Clayton Oliver thankfully returning to training over the past fortnight after a tough 2023. While the superstar midfielder is tracking in the right direction, his situation remains a precarious one. Draftees in Caleb Windsor and Koltyn Tholstrup have impressed in their first pre-seasons to put their hands up for an early-season debut, while the returning Marty Hore and former Saint Jack Billings will also put their hand up. The likes of Tom Sparrow, Bailey Laurie and Trent Rivers could be in line for more midfield opportunities, with track watchers spotting Rivers’ move from defence.

    Optimistic having Petty, McAdam and Oliver in the side.

    Don't expect Petty to play, Oliver and McAdam possibly.

    Actually watching Fullarton running 3/4 pace last Thursday without any sign of a limp I'd say he'd be a chance if he gets enough practise in

    • 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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
