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

[whatwhat say what 22,747]

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

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 ?

I think speculation is the wrong word.

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

I might just do that thanks.

[Adam The God 30,239]

Werridee, of course.

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

[MadAsHell 4,212]

Let's at least wait until after the draft...

[rpfc 28,405]

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…

Langdon was in our best half a dozen players six dayz ago.

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.

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.

And Hunter.

[loges 6,767]

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

[640MD 3,375]

Will Round 1   be different to round 0 ???   may as well pick our opponent in the GF,   

 

sorry

[loges 6,767]

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
