    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

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
