Are we plotting a late heist?
I too hope they get another opportunity, but with great respect to their efforts at Melbourne, I hope its at another club. I'd rather have the list space to punt on an 'unknown quantity' with a 10% chance of making it, and a 0.5% chance of becoming a gem.

Farewell to Our First Pick in 2020
In another thread, 'inanunda' stated that it was time for us to 'grow a pair'. We just grew 'em!

James Aish
No thanks. I'd prefer to take a punt on an 'unknown' with potential, rather than a known quantity who has fallen a long way short of expectations.

Are we done now?
I hope not!!

2019 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn
Our only 10 /10 player. Has earned every accolade he will get in this thread.

Sam Murray
High risk and maybe high reward. Throw him a lifeline and trust that a last shot in the big time will keep him on the straight and narrow. Would come at a bargain basement price.

2019 Player Reviews: #2 Nathan Jones
Age and week- in, week-out 'batterings' have caught up with Jonesy, and it shows. He's had opportunities to move to 'greener pastures' over the years, but he chose to stick with us, and I'm pleased that his loyalty has been rewarded with a contract extension. I hope he can add the 300 milestone to his already decorated career. We know that he will always give 110 %.

Brendan McCartney on SEN
All of the above. Great interview. Restored some 'lost' belief in our coaching and playing groups, and very importantly, 2020.

2019 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May
If Steven May can get fit, and stay fit and on the field, he will be worth something near what we paid for him. He's a long way behind the ledger right now.

AVB on Overcoming Injury
Right up there with the best news I've heard all season. Good luck Vanders!

Chris Masten
The absolute essence of a 'vanilla' player. No thanks.

Guy Walker Retires
Rotten luck for the lad. Neither he nor we will ever know 'what might have been'. Hope he has a 'big time' change of luck!

Danny Frawley Killed in Car Crash
I've always known of Danny Frawley as a champion footballer and media personality, but it was only after reading the words and sentiments expressed in these pages, that it hit home that he was also a champion person. Thanks for the insights Demonlanders. RIP Danny. Sincere condolences to his family.

Welcome to Demonland - Alan Richardson
From the MFC Website: "The Club will speak in more depth about his position at the end of the season" It seems to me from this, that there are more dominoes to fall, and the Club is still in the process of clarifying what Richo's final role will look like. Maybe it depends on who else comes through the door, and who is shown the exit.

PREGAME: Rd 22 vs Sydney
Weakest team we have fielded all year, bar none! If we win, I'll eat my Demon beanie (or some of it anyway), and put the video on here for all to see. Cheers!

Vale Frank "Bluey" Adams.
Bluey was a 'great' of the Melbourne Football Club during it's greatest era. I'll always have fond memories of him speeding up and down the wing at the 'G', and delivering the ball with precision to our forwards. A sad loss. RIP Bluey.

GAMEDAY: Rd 20 vs Richmond
I'll be watching from the comfort of my recliner in the back blocks of Canberra, and searching for evidence of 'tinkering' to our game plan, that Goody mentioned in yesterday's presser.
