I don't think they'd do it. Plus, the risk would be too great for us. Fev is a total loon, and I wouldn't want him anywhere near my beloved club, no matter how many goals he kicks. I'd do it if they substituted Murphy or Gibbs for him though. Even if we didn't get their 2nd round pick.

Bottoming out means rebuilding. We trade for under 23s and draft picks. No point bottoming out to do s a semi top up whihc lasts 2 season,s only to have ot rebuild again in a short space. We need to do a proper rebuild, not a Danners rebuild.

Sory Fev, no red and blue for you. If we land pick 1 or 2 (face it, one of them will be the dees this year) we should use it to select rich or Naita. Any players such as the named Brad Green, or others, should be dealt for picks or young developing players.

Next 2 seasons will be rebuilding. I am not ruling out a talented over 23 in PSD, but trading our top picks for an over 23 during trade week is suicide.

Nope and Nope.

Pick 1 and the freshly anointed Bluey Truscott Trophy winner, for an erratic, mature-age adolescent and a slightly lower draft pick, plus a vague unreliable later pick? not worth it for us, Nope.

Fevola is worth a lot to Carlton, beyond his playing contribution (which is immense given that key talls are in short supply) he is one of the faces of the club - despite or even because of his erratic behaviour. Controversy = Cash, as some hack promotions guy from the USA likes to say. Not worth it for Carlton, Nope.

i'm not going to name a trade we should make... trades listed by most people are ridiculous and one sided... fev for carroll and pick 17? please...

but a player i think we should target is Tim Boyle. Hawthorn would never get rid of Buddy or Roughead, but Boyle will always struggle to fit into a forward line with Franklin, Williams, Roughead, Rioli...

Think he could be really good for our forward line, and is a player hawthorn would consider trading.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
