Pretty sure that is Neaves...

They might chuck him back on the rookie list.

Are they allowed to do that? I was under the impression if a player has been a rookie for 2 years the only way they can continue to be on a list is as a senior listed player. Don't get me wrong, I reckon it would be GREAT if they could somehow allow ruckmen longer periods on rookie lists, or maybe create a special category within the draft for them as it seems to me many of them don't become anywhere near good enough for the AFL until they're at least 22. But I doubt they'd change the rules just for that...

In Neaves' case, I'd love to see him have another year or two on the rookie list, but given the way we delisted him, doesn't that enable other clubs to draft him if they see fit?

Also, if we DID take Neaves again, that would mean we have 1 soon to retire ruckman in White, then 2 guys in roughly the same place going for the backup ruck spot in Jamar and PJ, and then Meesen hot on their heels, as quick as PJ and as good a ruckman as Jamar from all accounts... not to mention taller.

Even assuming White goes in 2 years (maybe less, maybe more), that leaves us with 3 ruckmen AND Neaves.

Great work Diablo and Coxy. Always great to see the pre-season stuff and excellent photos.

A few questions:

- Has Wheatley lost weight or grown taller? Talk about all arms and legs.

- Is Kelly O'Donnell the short bald bloke in the pic of the coaches? I used to watch him play and barely recognise him now.

- Has Jonesy been to the Hair Transplant Studio? He's definitely got a thatch happening. And there you go, he looks younger already.

- Has Jaded's 'friend' paid his member(ship) off yet?

Top photos and thanks for the first glimpses of season 2008.

Haha if you're referring to the one of the coaches running, the short bald chap is actually Bailey. Kelly O'Donnell is the nearest one.

I kinda noticed the same thing with Wheats, but can't be too sure as he was wearing a short sleeved top whereas the others had singlets

My friend is not a Melbourne supporter she's an Essendon supporter, which begs the question, why am I going out of my way to make her a nice going-away present? :lol:

Should just throw her on a plane and never speak to her again ;)

Not impressed by the standard of cricket in District Cricket these days if the scoreboard is anything to go by. A very ordinary effort from the both batting sides considering the Junction Oval wicket usually plays well for batsmen!

This year the wicket has not been playing well. In the last game there was actually tap water leakage under the covers. VCA is investigating the circumstances.

    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
