Another Season for Mitch Brown
And pray tell me DT what do we do with Tommy?? Take Himwith us on $700,000 to every game As runner orange boy trainer and board holder upper !!! Getting ""rid off"" is convenient in print but how do you really do it in practice ! (Its a bit like disposing of a dead body !!!)Easy to talk but difficult to practice! I hope a new trimmer Tommy wows us all with an 2018 style comeback and watch us get back with Benny to scoring real scores to win games in 2021!

Welcome to Demonland - Pick 33 & Pick 50
Tony mu understanding is we will keep a pick for the Pre season draft or the mid season if there is one so as Cal Twomey says we may use only 3 on draft night. Your comment has no relevance either way as it is our choice to use the very good picks any way that JM has given us. Let's hope we welcome 3 newcomers like last year with big futures in the Red and Blue who can assist in making our list more complete.

Welcome to Demonland - Pick 33 & Pick 50
Really FT You have no idea which players we will pick up at 18 19 or 28 even allowing for the compromised draft picks in between pushing out our choice ( like every one else). I am more than happy This draft is an absolute beauty fir the style of run and carry wingers and smart outside types and Small skilled options rather than KPF or KPD or rucks types. To be honest I would and most Demon people will go with The current picks or an upgraded version fir JT and JM to continue on from last years Bounty. 3 more youngsters with fresh legs and bodies up replace some of our tired 2018 heroes sounds just the antedote for all to start 2021 on track. In any case we dont often know till 1/2 years on or even later in careers. Let the draft begin. p

2020 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem
Didn't you notice in the last 6/7 games Salo IMO did take a leap in form Notably urgency In play more speed and quicker disposal plus extra work around the half Forward area . Even kicked a couple If goals which he deserved through his run and carry. Still believe he can find one more gear yo ho from that B+ yo maybe an A-. Gets hoping and I believe he should be at HFF fir maximum use if his ability and elite disposal skills. Heres hoping Yze can get that extra gear!!!

Rumour only file ...
A week is a long time in the off season in footy !!!

Rumour only file ...
If Salem finishes his career with footy like the last half of this season I think he will be at least as good if not better in our plans for a flag or consistent success.

Matt Suckling
Can he help Tommy Macs toe and leg issues during the off season? Make him part of Burgo's empire ! Surely there's a spare corner at Goshs Paddock he can work in even if we get the Training Base up and running early! Seriously how wonderful Is this human care and devotion is in this animals life.

Farewell Oscar McDonald
thank you Oscar Unfairly blamed for midfield errors and lack of backline skill. As goalkeeper your stats would be far better than people imagine especially your disposal which was in AFL standards quit ok. Good luck in your career and life and be proud of what you achieved Fir our mighty Demons.

2020 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
BAMF and Gawndog98 I reckon Salos last half of 2020 was as good a block of games ( like in early 2018 I think it was) he has played in the Red and Blue. GF98 got it right about impacting and influence And these 6/8 games he was busy and productive plus looked to run harder had much more urgency and hit up forwards and even scored a couple of goals. He almost played a midfield role in style but launched himself off HB with great effect. I believe he could/should be either on the wing or HF flank In 2021. For all of the above reasons and his elite disposal by either foot finishes his upgrade to B+ or A - player along with Langers. Msybe Baker boils be tried at HF If Salem hoes to the wing. On the defensive side without Salem IMO Locky at BP on the small and Hibbo Rivers Smith Lever plus Jordan and possibly Sparrow ( not Harmes) can play HB on various types. Even Baker could be tried on HB. Our coaches must be more adaptable and hopefully Yze can implant this in Goody moving forward this next season.

2020 Phantom Drafts & Rankings
Most fans Elwood think another ready made small crumber is ONE GAP worth looking at Plus an outside winger/ runner HF flanker that kicks goals and maybe a FORWARD or versatile KEy position type. I think we all agree that all of the players must have composure and good disposal skills.

2020 Delisted Free Agents
People are muffed by the expectations of Petty for us (from many in D/L ) either in defence or attack saying pretty negative things about him! But I am certainly extraordinarily and completely amazed by one or two D/L ers with a desire to recruit Marley Williams. Not only dies that make it his third Club he butchers the ball Even more than any one on our list but is rather error prone. I would compare him even unfavourably with Josh Wagner!!! Whats SFL ??? anyway,

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
DeeTox look at my post re goals on the run and IMO I think Ben is at least as strong as Weid Tommy Jesse Bailey and Maxy. I would say I think May and Lever are slightly stronger marks but it's the overall total taken that's important after alI. I suspect your misgivings will be erased Both in strength and style of goals.

Will be a once in a generation player like NicNat Trac or Clarry May well be our best outside mid by this time next year!!!

TMac on the Trade Table?
Surprising how much depth you need during 22/25 games in a season. PlanB can be sufficient but often Plan C is needed like in 2019!

Jumbo A Coleman Medallist Indeed? Last Dees winner Neita!! Was he a gun footballer you betcha!!

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
DeeTox Brown had injury and personal family issues which affected his form. Dont remember Lockett or Dunstall Getting any more than 25% of their goals on the run! Far from it. Will give other forwards a lift as well as get 45/50 plus I think.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
AF Whats wrong with Fritschy? He has been our best forward fir last 2 years even with poor kicking fir goal And underwhelming forward line coaching and development. If he puts on more weight it will help his body strength in marking and tackling . Also his kicking is mainly in his head. He needs practice and confidence plus bring taught the smarts ie not leading to pockets. Will be a major strength of our team once these issues are worked on.
