At the moment it looks as though (even though i hate to say it) davey will spend a lot of his future in the midfield

also, i am expecting the retirments/delistings of neitz, robbo and yze at the end of this year which will allow youth to spend time in the forward line

FF: i would like to see Bate at FF, this will surprise people, and i may cop critisism for it, but somehow, i can see him becoming a legendary full forward

FP: marric should be a great crumber in the pocket

FP: AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE...enough said

i would love to have two crumbers in the forward line alongside the full forward

HFF: Pettard, love the kid, love him in the forward line and not the backline

CHF: Paul Johnson (if he does not work out as a ruck) or the Juice Newton if he gets his act togethor

HFF: Stefin Martin/Zomer...lets hope that they develop well with our two developmental coaches

all of these people are young and i can see in the future premiership side if they get their act togethor

    No disrespect Nugget but you have got the rosiest of rose coloured glasses on. If Yze Magic decides to sub-contract out his previews, you should put your hand up for the gig. 'Twould make very positive reading.

    Forward line isnt looking great when big Neita retires. Hopefully we draft a good sized forward in the upcoming draft to play FF or CHF. Will still be years off it though. Newton to play as either FF or CHF depending on others.

    Maric to fill the crumber role. Bate and Sylvia to lead off the flanks and push into the midfield.

    Doesnt look great when compareed to say the Hawks forward line of Buddy, Roughead, Boyle, Rioli, Williams etc

    apart from buddy, who is a once in a lifetime draftee, i think our forward line that you have just gone through isnt that bad, and wont be that bad if there is good development and good delivery from the midfield

    I don't think we have anyone that can even kick from outside fifty, and thats where we seem to feeding our forwards

    Bate and Dunn both can, which is why I want one of the two to play CHF.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
