Have said it for some time, the Brownlow is increasingly becoming a mediocre award to win. It no longer goes to the ‘best’ player in the league anymore. Melbourne players aside, the Bont had a much better year than Neale, as did Butters, Gulden and even Daicos. May as well call it the best midfielders award too btw.

And pretty hard not to give him BOG, with 6 goals to go along with 27 possessions

Yes, several retirements in there. Doesn’t matter how the players’ leave, trade/delist/retire, they’ll all need to be replaced and that’s how the list gets refreshed. That’s where my 8 come from. I could’ve easily gone 10-12, but that would destroy the stability.
-
I’d rather we try and change the list when it’s not up to scratch than just sticking our heads in the sand. Besides which one of Harmes, Grundy, Hibberd, Laurie, Jordon, Dunstan, D Smith and Brown would you consider as indispensable?

Nothing less than GC first pick will suffice. Now that I’ve had my Dodoro moment, I’d say end of 2nd/early 3rd rounder would do. Unfortunately for Nut, he doesn’t bring any skill set to the team that isn’t provided by others that should be named in the team before him (much the same as JJ). We need to turn the list over if we seriously want to contend again, known quantities that haven’t got us there need to be cut adrift to allow for new/unknown talent to come through. I reckon up to 8 changes could/need to be made to refresh the list.

Happy 2 Year Premiership Anniversary

Best day of my life -
Assistant coaches were Meesen and Jordie McKenzie too

Some say that there is no game without umpires………….I say it wouldn’t be worse off without them. They are there to adjudicate, not influence the games. They fail dismally on both counts.

Wouldn’t mind 2 of O’Sullivan, McKercher or Watson
-
Yep, we go via the flanks and pockets because it’s easier to defend. Kicking for goal at those angles and what do we expect?
-
It’s a bit early in the season, but the ladies are looking very primed
-
How does McKercher go on his right foot? Generally left footers are very one sided when it comes to kicking skills.

The only GF of significance for 2023 happened last week when Fish Creek saluted for 🏆#37. Good old Fish Creek forever!!!

For those who know this years draft, if you had a choice between of Sanders or McKercher at Melbournes first pick who would you choose?

Coaching reshuffle at the Demons?
Demon Disciple replied to Supreme_Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
With Yze getting the Richmond gig (stoked for him), it means that we’ll need to find a midfield coach as well as a forwards coach. We should be looking to bring in the best line coaches for both these positions. Our defence is still doing well under Chaplin, but the midfield and forward line is where we were found wanting the past 2 years. FIX IT NOW.- 62 replies

Absolutely need a review, an honest review. Which probably means it’ll need to be external.

Exactly. Out in straight sets 2 years in a row. This year we had more scoring shots and played the better football than both opposition, yet still managed to lose both games. The truth hurts sometimes, so im interested in seeing how the club responds to the past 2 years. It'll either make us as a club, or we flounder. If it's the latter, then i would agree we are indeed fragile. After the 21 premiership, all the coaching and playing group were talking about was not becoming complacent. Hasn't worked well for us so far.
