Need to start getting Hyped Dees fans.

Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Weight: 82 kg Games CDFC 2023: 14 Goals CDFC 2023: 0 The versatile youngster is still very much a work in progress after two injury-interrupted seasons at the club that saw him close to AFL selection on more than one occasion. His chance should come next year.

Date of Birth: 8 March 2004 Height: 195cm Weight: 86kg Games CDFC 2023: 20 Goals CDFC 2023: 24 Melbourne’s first pick at #15 in the 2022 AFL National Draft, Jefferson showed some early promise with the Casey Demons as a goal kicking key forward but his form tapered off late in the season. Will benefit from a full period season that should see him add weight and strength to his body.

Date of Birth: 29 August 1991 Height: 186cm Weight: 85kg Games MFC 2023: 13 Career Total: 221 Goals MFC 2023: 20 Career Total: 180 Games CDFC 2023: 6 Goals CDFC 2023: 17 Brownlow Medal Votes: 2 Melksham went from strength to strength in the second half of the season, showing his versatility up forward after Bayley Fritsch was injured against the GIants at Alice Springs. Suffered an ACL injury in the final home and away round in Sydney and was sorely missed in the finals. Now listed as a Category A Rookie.

2023 Player Reviews: #34 Deakyn Smith Date of Birth: 22 August 2002 Height: 181cm Weight: 78kg Games: CDFC 2023: 20 Goals CDFC 2023: 0 The small defender who was originally mentored by Neville Jetta when he came to the club three years ago, never advanced beyond rookie status and was delisted after the VFL season ended.

Date of Birth: 6 February 2002 Height: 193cm Weight: 78kg Games CDFC 2023: 6 Goals CDFC 2023: 0 Selected in this year’s supplemental draft, the young key defender from the VAFA was unable to fully show his wares as a result of injury. He was delisted at the end of the season.

Date of Birth: 29 January 1995 Height: 185cm Weight: 85kg Games MFC 2023: 0 Career Total: 121 Goals MFC 2023: 0 Career Total: 46 Games CDFC 2023: 15 Goals CDFC 2023: 10 Dunstan had a solid season at Casey but was unable to break into the AFL team and suffered a career ending knee injury at the end of the season.

The Herald Sun has listed 3 moves the club should make in 2024. What moves do you think the club should make in 2024? MELBOURNE 1. Give Daniel Turner a run as the third tall defender He has managed just the three games over the past two years but it is time to give the man known as ‘Disco’ a run as the third tall. This will free up Harry Petty and allow him to have a 40-plus goal season. 2. Give Bailey Laurie first crack as Jake Melksham’s replacement With Melksham out for most if not all of 2024 with his knee injury, someone needs to step up. After playing five games in 2023, Laurie is ready to have a crack and the Demons need to give him at least 15 games in the role 3. Blood Matt Jefferson up forward The 195cm young key forward is yet to make his debut but the Demons need to refresh their attack and it is time for a forward line of Petty, Jacob van Rooyen and Jefferson.

Basically the Council is concerned that the Dees Administrative & Training base shouldn't come at the expense of locals access to the site and that the council has been kept in the dark about the plans.

Every preseason I see Dees players running around Caulfield Park which is a stones throw from the Racecourse. Many of the players live in the surrounding suburbs. It would be massive for the players not to have to drive over an hour to get to training.
