I would be happy to trade Sylvia. I have run out of patience. He has only shown glimpses during his career, i get the feeling he would be better suited somewhere else. McLean was recruited from the same draft...a world of difference.

I like Pettard, he will be a super player, once injury free. However, if he wanted to play for the GC then you have to find a trade.

I'd trade Bruce well beofre i'd trade Green, however they are both too old to be traded now me thinks.

Lastly, Rivers and Moloney are two players im running out of patience with. If we can get something for these two injury plagued players i would be happy. Don't get me wrong i think Rivers is a champion, but what good is a champion if he can't get out on the park? Same goes for Moloney.

    In fact, correct me if i'm wrong but I believe the last trade of a top 10 pick was when Fremantle gave up their number 8 pick in a three-way trade for Tarrant.

    Top Ten picks are fast becoming untouchable and started to become so even before all the Gold Coast stuff.

    Not for the right player.

    Carlton gave pick 3 as part of the Chris Judd deal.

    Also Richmond originally traded pick 8 to Freo for Polak and pick # 13.

    Trading has predominantly been focussed on talented NQRs that do not elicit top picks. If the quality player is there that fills a void in another team then they are likely to trade early picks to fill it

    There is also a world of difference between a fit Silvia and a injured Silvia, which has seen him play only limited football of recent

    At least you spared readers an endless "wall of text".

    Says the guy who's approaching 5000 POSTS of the same pessimistic tripe he's always regurgitated from whatever hack Herald Sun journalist has gotten the back page article that week... "Oooh the Saints need pace!" Footy is footy RR... It hasn't changed as much as the sensationalists would have you believe.

    Davey for pick 4?

    Where do I sign!!!!

    Yep. I'd take that in a second. I love Davey as much as the next guy, but he's got question marks that have never been answered even though he's now of a prime age. Good player, but we are in DIRE need of a Watts/Rich/Hurley that would go pick 2-4... Shame it would NEVER happen.

    I quite liked his wall of text, good to see you cop it for once RR. Nice work Dappa!

    How about that RR? 5000 posts and I can't remember the last time anyone agreed with you, or you agreed with anyone else... Don't forget you're the only one who doesn't have to READ what you post.

    I envy you...

    Interesting thread, the last time I had a 'discussion' like what we've seen here I was accused by certain mod's of having a vandetta against them. It's just a pity they're unable to see the obvious, it's made worse by the fact that the culprit is better than this. He's intelligent and does understand the game well, it's just so obvious that he deliberately winds people up. Nash describes it as 'robust posting' but it's more than that, it's a form of cyber bullying and it goes against everything that the site stands for. He's been like it since the start and it's a pity that nothing will ever change because he's mates with the owner of the site.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
