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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
