A hamstring injury interrupted the defender's start, but he bounced back to play every match from round six. Dunn was one of Melbourne's best players in the second half of the season. It was his highest finish in the club's best and fairest.

Another player whose season was held back by injury, McKenzie came good in the latter part of the season with some excellent stopping roles. His season highlight was his role in the curbing of Garry Ablett Junior to under 20 disposals at Metricon Stadium in a game the team could easily have won.

Aside from missing three matches through suspension, Sylvia produced a very consistent season. It was the third time he has finished fifth in the best and fairest award, after his efforts in 2009 and 2010. A free agent, he has yet to commit to the club for 2014 although Paul Roos has indicated he is definitely a wanted man.

Complications from last year's Lisfranc operation put a disappointing and premature end to his season and cruelled Mark Neeld's forward line planning. The question mark over whether he can return to full fitness in 2014 will be the key to how far the team can improve next year.

Recruited to the club to provide experience and leadership both on and off the field, Byrnes was only a partial success. He played some good games as a small forward but ultimately, the club needs younger, more dynamic players in this position if it is to progress in the future.

A foot stress fracture last December rocked the second half of his pre-season and he appeared to lack confidence for a time on return. However, the co-captain fought back to play some good football and all but two matches in 2013 and finished eighth in the B & F. The elephant in the room for Trengove was the cloud cast by the association of Dank with the former club doctor who was treating him before the start of the season for his foot injury. That situation remains unresolved. Games MFC 2013 20 Career Total 79 Goals MFC 2013 9 Career Total 38 Keith "Bluey" Truscott Memorial Trophy 257 votes

Despite missing games on two separate occasions with a hamstring injury, Frawley finished seventh in the "Bluey" - his fifth consecutive top 10 finish. He gave his all down back, often under pressure and will no doubt relish being part of a more stable side under Roos.

Assuming you're right about that, why on earth was he appointed in the first place and how did he remain coach for almost four years?

May I suggest that the existence of this article shows that someone at the AFL has read WJ's editorial and realised that his argument about setting a precedent is 100% per cent spot on. The result is we are going to end up with a decision that is every bit as ludicrous as some of the AFL's other recent pronouncements on the MFC tanking saga and the EFC governance and banned supplements situation.

The long-awaited arrival of the club's son of a gun proved worthwhile as Jack showed the toughness, courage and determination that is a hallmark of the family. A toe injury in midseason curtailed him somewhat but he is well on his way to a stellar career. The only Demon nominated for the NAB Rising Star in 2013.

Recruited from Collingwood to play a tandem key forward role with Mitch Clark in a scenario that never eventuated because both players were hit by injury. Nevertheless, Dawes showed enough by his play and with his leadership on the forward line to suggest that he will be part of a potent forward line when all of its cogs are fit and healthy.

A young player with considerable talent but thrown in at the deep end at a club that was drowning.

After five years, the former #1 draft pick is still unable to break into the club' top 10 in the B & F. He has the talent but needs to knuckle down and play the tough hard football one expects of such a prized selection.

That's astute of you to notice this fact but every year we do a player review starting from # 1 and onwards. Hogan happens to be the player who was allocated the #1 guernsey and we recognise him as a Demon in 2013.

The club's midfield dynamo stood out again in 2013 winning his second successive Keith "Bluey" Truscott trophy amassing 509 disposals - 233 kicks and 276 handballs. He was the only shining light in the all important midfield where the club is otherwise totally bereft of star quality.

The club's teenage GWS Mini Draft selection shone like a beacon as a tall key forward in his development year with the Casey Scorpions. A knee injury late in the season was costly for the Demons' VFL counterpart which lost its last three games (including two finals) without his goal kicking prowess. However, Hogan is unlikely to spend much time at that level again. Games CSFC 2013 15 Goals CSFC 2013 39

On Saturday night, former Dandenong Stingray star Luke Parker was one of the prime movers in Sydney's great win over Carlton. Parker brought back memories of the time when an 18 year old Tom Scully was starring for Graeme Yeats' Dandenong team of 2009 and when Parker himself was a promising bottom age player. A classy midfielder, Parker matured the following year and did well in the middle and off half back for the Stingrays but, unlike Scully, had to wait until pick 40 in the national draft before officially becoming an AFL player. Melbourne recruiter Barry Prendergast picked key forward Lucas Cook at 12 that year. Yeats is still the Stingrays coach and next Sunday, he will have another opportunity to win a flag at this level against Eastern Ranges thanks to his team's victory at Visy Park after coming from 15 points down at the final break to beat the Calder Cannons by two goals in Saturday’s TAC Cup preliminary final. The connection with Melbourne doesn't stop at the coach or former players Nathan Jones and Tom Scully. Jones' younger brother Zak was the star of the show with his aggression at the football and in the tight contests. A good user of the football, he is certain to figure prominently in draft calculations later in the year. Billy Hartung is an excitement machine for the Stingrays who will provide moments of brilliance for many years to come. He's small at 177cm and is slightly built but is fast, runs all day and has great foot skills. The Cannons have been a perennial powerhouse at this level but, after leading at half time, disappointed.

Spectators were disappointed to discover that injured Ranges duo Tom Boyd and Mitch Honeychurch failed to come up for final selection. The highly regarded Vic Metro representatives are expected to line up for their team in next week's grand final against the Dandenong Stingrays. Strongly built bottom aged player Christian Petracca booted five goals, took nine contested marks and beat off some handy opponents including top draft prospect Darcy Gardiner to underline his promise for next year's draft. Morrish Medallist Ben Cavarra capped off a great week for himself with a top effort in the midfield. A player with plenty of pace who runs hard, he did his prospects of selection in the drafts later this year no harm. Matthew Traylor kicked four goals. Strong ruckman Michael Apeness dominated the big man duels. Geelong's Hugh Goddard and Patrick McCartin kicked three goals each while Jimmy Tsitas showed class early in the middle.

And now the case is closed. We now link to both the old and new Demonology in our links section.

Last warning guys. You want to fight then you can take it over to Demonology.

Just a reminder folks that this is not the time and place to become embroiled in the relative merits of either site or for posters to abuse each other. We're happy for this thread to run to help repair what's been done to Demonology but it's really up to the membership, the new owners and hopefully the old to sort this out and we hope that it does get sorted out to the satisfaction of those people who have posted on Demonlogy, some for more than a decade. Please don't force us to close this thread down because it's become a place for people to conduct their own irrelevant and trivial bunfights. Thanks.
