Pretty well close. Kentfield may be given an extension. 

We have pick 7 and ANB pick say early 20's, the Swans 2nd rounder and a pick in the 40's.

We should go to the draft IMO. We usually trade up and often use a future pick.

No doubt we will consider our FS Yze and Academy Mentha.

Care will be taken in using futures due to White and Ah - Mu  coming in next year.

Luker Kentfield

Geez Louise, did Luker run over your dog or steal your girlfriend or something?

You wrote him off the instant he was drafted and have been sticking the boots into him ever since.   

How about we give the kid a chance?

I'd imagine both TMac and Melksham will go around again.

Tomlinson will likely seek more opportunities elsewhere after another year we begged him to stay last year because he was a 'required player'. If TMac retires, then I could see him hanging around for another year.

Retired: Brown, Hunter, Schache 

Unsure old: T Mc, Tomlinson, Melk, Hore

No comment: J Smith

Unsure young: Kentfield 

Not convinced: Sestan, AMW

I guess so: Verrall and K Brown

Barring trades for better talls we’ve got to keep one of the Tom’s (T Mc the obvious preference). Got to keep Melk.

I’d love to keep Marty Hore, but his body hasn’t done him any favours this year. Probably have to see how trade week pans out.

This is far from a promising group of young players. Kynan and Verrell we probably sign on. AMW and Sestan I’d be just as happy to leave them out of contract until October and see how they go tank wise with a 6 week offseason running block.

All depends if anyone else is interested, happy for him to stick around another year so we can focus on other areas with drafts/trades.

BB gone. 

But not forgotten, he stood tall when it mattered. I still remember JB’S call, Benny Brown after Fritsch kicked back to back goals.

Bugger it, I’m going to watch the GF highlights now.

I'm assuming its

BBrown, Schache, Hore, KFW, Smith, Brayshaw OUT

AMW to A rookie

Sestan, Kentfield, Melksham, Verrall, KBrown re-sign as A rookies

Tomlinson, McDonald, Hunter re-sign

can see a world where Tommo looks to get out: Blues, Eagles, Roos, Crows, Lions, Pies could all be in the market and offer him a different look and a longer deal.

25 we send Petty back down back and McDonald plays the 24 Tommo role as next in

Ben Brown, Schache, Brayshaw and Joel Smith - Retired/Forced retirement 

Hunter is out of contract but I'd imagine he'd get another year. Still only 29, unless people know something I don't. He's handy depth along with Billings behind Langdon and Windsor as our primary wingers. We might also play Langdon at half forward like we did earlier in the year to cover ANB, which means we'll definitely need to retain Hunter's services. 

Melksham deserves to go around again and depending on Tomo if he requests a trade then we may look to keep Tmac which I hope we do. I'd like to see Adams push for selection next year. 

Hore is our back up intercepter if Lever is injured, so I'd imagine he stays on. 

The rookies I can't comment much on as I haven't tracked them closely this year. Sestan needs a huge preseason but I'm hopeful he stays on. AMW and Brown are developing nicely. Verrall I've heard good things and Kenterfield hasn't been given a proper crack at it yet so he deserves a full preseason to show us what he's got. KFW probably goes as I haven't heard much about him this year. 

In terms of draft and trading I just don't see why we're chasing Houston. I understand he's a very good halfback but he doesn't play midfield, so he's not really a like for like replacement for Brayshaw, which I'm speculating why we are chasing him. With our current pick 7 in the draft I'd like to go after a tall mid in Josh Smillie (Tom Green) but I doubt he'd last to our selection or Harry Armstrong as a key forward who will be around our selection after losing Brown and Schache. Jefferson and Kenterfield are still question marks at this point.

No way Hunter gets another year.

Not quite sure if people have been paying attention...

In fairness to him I’ve seen nothing but vague conjecture by posters, nothing in the media. But he’s been injured almost the entire year. Ordinary when not. And now MIA without being on the injury list.

T Mac has been a first choice key defender all year and May is looking more injury prone so obviously we need to keep him around or trade in new defenders (Turner and Petty are our fwd line now)

We might keep Tommo for depth or he could retire. He has been serviceable as always so I would personally keep him

Melksham is a tough one, 33yo next month. He played a few good games and a few poor games where he was hardly noticed. Given we don't have much senior depth and he is good for the culture I would keep him on. Get him to see a therapist in the off season to keep his focus/intensity up game to game as he is our best kick and can turn games.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J
