    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.

    Werridee, of course.

    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

    Fox Footy have posted their Opening Round Teams for 2024.

    image.jpeg

    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

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
