The young players at the MFC are unsettled? Really? They're all getting opportunities and most starting to show their wares.

I know some of them were a bit shellshocked after a big post West Coast bake, but I haven't heard anything about being unsettled...

I have also heard some parents of younger players not happy with a few things, which have occurred since the end of last season. 
 

Nothing terminal but a few things need to be sorted out moving forward

Surely no one’s shocked by this

I would look at Jack Silvagni. I know he is coming off a knee injury but I like his versatility as a forward, midfielder and second ruck.

Absolutely agree.  I have no idea why Blues fans hate him so much, maybe they don't like his Mums ads for Chemist Warehouse or whatever it is. 

Change of scene may do him good.  And possibly some moisturiser.

Apologies if this has been covered off, but doing a bit of a stocktake (happy new financial year Dees fans!) and we *should* have salary cap space in lieu of:

  • BBB
  • Brayshaw
  • Smith
  • Hunter / Billings / McAdam?
  • Laurie

The first two should be a nice chunk of change.  Surely we can go after some talent?

Billings, Mcadam and Laurie are all contracted so won’t be going anywhere. The others are likely, plus Tomlinson.

Reckon Laurie, McAdam and possibly Billings are contracted in 2025.

King has kicked 159.115 in his first 5 seasons in a terrible team with zero skilled mids. Including a 52.49 season  

And people compare him to Weid? 

[censored] me. watch some football  He us 202cm  he would transform our team

Question marks over his body are there but I would give up 2 first rounders any say of the week for him

Hold your horses, we can get him with one pick, maybe two only if St Kilda pays 30% of his contract

King is staying with the Saints and they are working on a new contract.

Here is the list and I’d like all of them.

Lukosius- to play back

Waterman- He and JVR 🤤

Lobb- 3rd tall and Ruck

Dylan Shiels- won’t cost much and apparently back to peak powers. 
 

Just need a medium defender.

 

Howes to wing, Juddy and Rivs to play more midfield along with Windsor.

Don't mind this, but just keep Howes at half back as medium defender.

If we bring in Rory Lobb a few Demonlanders heads will explode I imagine...

Please no Rory Lobb...

Isn't there anyone else we can bring as a second ruck? Ideally Kalany White will be with us at the end of next year.

I really don't think there are many options out there unfortunately, so who knows maybe we will have a crack with Rory Lobb....

Kalani White won't drafted until 2025 and even then will take a good 2-3 years to be a consistent performer.

Mabior Chol was the one we probably should've gone for last year, but even he is pretty inconsistent.

We had the best ruck/forward in the league.... but he got homesick

Homesick or Moneysick? 😜

lukosious is a forward - playing him at half back is an incredible waste

Was a defender and a very very good one, with the best field kicking of all key defenders.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
