It must be a laugh going onto football forums on the Internet and making up gossip about possible trades. 🤣 Just to see how people will react. Nevertheless, I will admit, even I gotta bit excited about the Aaron Cadman rumour! 😳

Happy for the Demons players to have a few drinks for the sake of team bonding. However, I hope that Max Gawn and the rest of the team used the opportunity of their Mad Monday celebrations to "make a pact" to leave no stone unturned in their efforts to win the Premiership in 2024! We must be as ruthless and determined as we were in 2021 to achieve the ultimate success again and hold up that Premiership cup at the MCG! GO DEMONS IN 2024!!! 🔴🔵👹

Huh?! Fisherman's Bend? I thought we are now fully investigating the option of the Caulfield Racecourse for the Melbourne Football Club's Home Base? Anyway, I guess we should hopefully hear some news at the upcoming Melbourne Football Club's AGM? The matter of our Home Base should be at the top of our agenda.

I think Nick Blakey would be an incredibly fantastic trade for Brodie Grundy and an excellent replacement for Michael Hibberd. However, I cannot see the Swans letting him go though! More likely to hopefully snaffle the Swan's first draft pick this year in number #11!

I still reckon Christian Petracca win's the Keith "Bluey" Truscott Trophy for 2023. However, it will be extremely close!

If we can draft two players who are elite kicks from this list I would definitely be over the moon! 😎👍

Exactly! Adelaide are delusional! 🤣

A little surprised. As I thought Brett Ratten was cooked. I guess Sam Mitchell convinced him to return back to Hawthorn in a different role. Apparently Gavin Brown and John Blakey have departed North Melbourne. Would the Demons be interested in either of those two?

Here's a current "top 20" for young players in the 2023 AFL National Draft from 'The Sporting News' website: https://www.sportingnews.com/au/afl/news/phantom-draft-2023-first-round-projection-top-20-picks/f7057d7638129eb2395ecbd8

Brayden "the Thug" Maynard should be booed for the rest of his football career by Melbourne supporters. His vile dog act will NEVER be forgiven or forgotten!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Yikes!!!

Apparently Emerson Jeka was delisted by the Hawks. He is a 198cm key forward originally from the Western Jets. Here is the link about it: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1042682/josh-morris-emerson-jeka-fionn-ohara-depart-hawthorn-after-2023-season Perhaps Emerson Jeka is worth giving a 2nd chance to? However, I don't know much about him.

With 4 field umpires now I think that the Brownlow Medal voting process needs to be overhauled. I also think it has become a midfielder's award and this should be changed. Would definitely like to see a full forward or a full back or any other position win a Brownlow Medal. Anyway, I hope Christian Petracca and the rest of the Melbourne players use this year's bitter disappointment as motivation for a determined effort to win next year's AFL Premiership in 2024.

Unless the Demons win the Premiership in 2024 then both 2022 and 2023 will be seen as wasted opportunities. Having said that, the most important thing is making sure the Melbourne Football Club is able to have sustained success over many years.

Would definitely be a great experience to be a "fly on the wall" to see what Jason Taylor and the MFC recruitment team are up to. The big challenge at the moment is three fold for the Demons. Firstly, drafting elite decision makers to improve the connection into our forward line. Secondly, looking at talented key position tall forwards to add potency to our forward line. Lastly, drafting young gun players that will allow the Demons to have sustained success. In particular, a possible long-term replacement for Steven May at full back. Overall though, I have complete faith in Jason Taylor as well as Tim Lamb in their roles for the Demons list management and recruitment.

Agreed. Nathan Bassett would be a handy addition to the Demons.

Unless the scum at Collingwood get the "Collywobbles" then I don't see them losing. The Brisbane Lions just can't win on the MCG. Happy to be proven wrong though!

Would happily accept trading Brodie Grundy and draft pick #24 for the Sydney Swans draft pick #11.

Sadly, the players have to take responsibility for the choking. Move on and have a big Pre-Season for 2024. Fingers crossed we can break the Brownlow Medal drought of 23-24 years now sometime soon.

Far out! That was frustrating! Jack Viney 3 votes against Sydney was a mystery. Angus Brayshaw 3 votes against North Melbourne was also bizarre. But oh well. Lachie Neale from the Lions is a well deserved winner. Pretty confident Christian Petracca will win the Demons' Best & Fairest this year though at least.

I wholeheartedly agree! It would be great to get Nathan Buckley at the Demons. Brenton Sanderson is another name mentioned that could be an option for us. He is currently coaching the Balwyn Tigers in the EFL, I think? He may be worthwhile giving another opportunity at AFL level? Rodney Eade could also be a possible alternative choice too? Although, I don't know if he has retired from coaching or not? He was coach of the Balwyn Tigers in the EFL as well....but that was a few years ago. Anyway, I am sure the Melbourne Football Club will have plenty of applicants for our vacant assistant coaching roles.

We need to end this 2 year Premiership drought and win our 14th Flag on the MCG! GO DEMONS IN 2024!!!🔴🔵👹

Both Preliminary Finals have shown how vital it is to have players who are elite decision makers and excellent kicks in our team. Players like.... Keidean Coleman Nick Daicos Steele Sidebottom Josh Kelly Lachie Whitfield Sam Walsh We definitely need to recruit players with their abilities!

Not often I would agree with Joel Selwood. But I do with his comments this time. Here is the news article in question: https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/joel-selwood-slams-clayton-olivers-classy-sportsmanship/news-story/c717d5d17eb17f0ba7db6cf1ae174252 As Neale Daniher said many years ago....the Demons need to be more ruthless!

Not fussed about Stuart Dew's weight. If he personally wants to get fit and healthy that's totally up to him. Other options include; Andrew McQualter, Leon Cameron, Blake Caracella, Cameron Bruce, Brett Ratten, Daniel Giansiracusa, Scott Burns, Ashley Hansen, Justin Leppitsch, Nigel Lappin, Steven King and Matthew Knights are a few names worth considering. I would also definitely inquire with Trent Cotchin and Joel Selwood to see if they are interested in a coaching role.
