    I noticed a theme/ quality for all of the new guys included - They can probably all handle themselves better "physically"

    The last thing you want is one of our talented draft picks to get broken like a twig, and both Morton and Maric are both 17 year olds (with Grimes not 100% yet)

    Im really excited about Martin as a prospect for a key defender for us and i haven't even seen him play yet so im just judging by what i have read and his measurements and background so i could be just getting excited about nothing but i dont care...:) FOoty is back and im so pumped ....been way to long!

    Demonscoast...possibly another way of looking at those exclusions is that we sort of know what they can do. Heres a chances for some newbies to step up and display their wares.

    damn shame its in bloody Geelong.. ah well.. crank the telly...:)

    Totally agree with you....super excited to get a look at these guys! :D ....Just so long as we don't get pumped

    The exclusions are somewhat of a suprise though, cause I haven't heard any talk of them having injuries/ soreness?

    Let it rip Demons!

    I am so excited to see Valenti and Meesen. Valenti was a standout for Sandy last year and i recken he could play as an inside midfielder (as brock is injured) along side Jonesy. He would win alot of the ball.

    IMO we will probably play White and Meesenas our two ruckman. Jamar has shown us nothing over the last few years and is lucky to be on our list so i think Meesen will get the nod ahead of him. I am not too sure what to expect from the other debutants as i have never seen them play.

    GO DEES!!!

    David Neitz

    Geelong have got a couple of midfielders out like us, but I think the game will be won in Geelong's foward line with Mooney, Hawkins and Steve Johnson running riot.

    I'm scared. I counted 10 players key position players or players who play tall, plus 4 ruckmen. We are seriously light on for quality midfielders.

    When you look at it like that - it's going to be a huge challenge....

    I'm trying to find something positive to say, and I can't find anything sensible:

    We'll catch them napping?

    " do it on pure heart?

    We had two more weeks training than them?

    Kate Ceberano will address/ undress the guy's in the change rooms pre-match and inspire us to victory?

    Robbo will mesmerize his opponent with his vocal ability and kick us to victory?

    Dean Bailey is actually the Messiah, and has come down to earth to help rid the Melbournefc of bad Karma, starting Saturday?

    We've trained for the interchange rule throughout the whole pre-season because DB is psychic?

    Anyone got a good reason why we can win?

    wow trent zomer! didn't see that coming.. 3 rookie list players intresting? what happened to jake 'big dick' spencer?? colin sylvia!! u lil beauty

    Anyone like to have a go at the team:

    My version:

    B Warnock Holland Bode

    HB Bell Miller Green

    C Buckley Valenti Davey

    HF Sylvia Newton Bate

    F Aussie Robbo Yze

    FOLL White McDonald Jones

    Int Frawley Jamar P Johnson Garland

    Cheney Meeson Martin Weetra

    McNamara and Zomer to miss the cut.

    I just spoke with Dean Bailey and I've advised him to run the following on Saturday:

    Frawley to rotate with Warnock deep in defence

    Meeson to get more ruck-time than White, even though we're starting him on the bench.

    Jamar to get 15 minutes in the ruck

    PJ to help out in defence or attack (if we have no targets up fwd)

    Garland to help out in defence

    Cheney to release Green into the midfield

    Martin to rotate with Miller

    Weetra to swap with Aussie.

    Sylvia, Bate and possibly Bell and Bode will have to help out in the midfield as we are seriously light on.

    You're not far off the mark BBP. I'd have Frawley in the back pocket and Warnock on the bench. If you look at the interchange, where's our midfield rotation come from? We are way too top heavy.

    Yes, and it again highlights the backline conundrum when Rivers is not in the mix.

    Some things I'd like to see

    Chapman V Cheney...big challenge but a great litmus test, two hard nuts

    Hawkins V Zomer / Martin...all raw, all big

    Mooney V whoever...DB's response to this challenge will be fascinating to see.

    Roll on Saturday

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
