he is only 21, dropped to the reserves recently and down on confidence. Does anyone think he would be worth trading for? In just his 2nd season he was awesome on the half back line, averaged 22 touches a game, kicked 17 goals for the year, ran the lines and finished 2nd in their best and fairest.

thoughts?

    What a great idea, let's trade for yet another half back flanker. Guys who are not quite here or there so we play them on the HBF

    PJ chased him down. No good. Not worth trading for. KP players are the focus.

    andrew mcleod plays on the HBF. its still an important position. while Key position should be a preference, if Sherman got remotely back to his best...he would be a better replacement for whelan.

    and with the PJ example, if we singled out every time a player made a mistake players like Miller would have been delisted years ago. I think sherman is worth a shot.

    So does CJohnson, Petterd, Bell, Whelan, Frawley, Buckley, Green, Paul "the Pancake Maker" Wheatley, Bruce. I'd say we've got it covered. We need topliners, not another HBF

    He's no A.McLeod..................

    PJ's example was just a snippet, thats all.

    Whelan? :o

    sherman at his best is better than everone on that list though

    Has there ever been more smack talked in history?

    Sherman is an average player at best.

    when u trade, you should do so for 2 reasons only.

    1) to bring in a topline quality player onto your list

    2) to bring in a good player who fills a specific hole in your list.

    Sherman fulfills neither reason, and therefore should not even be looked at.

    People should think before suggesting players MFC will realistically trade for.

    Yes, there has...

    i wouldn't kick it to morton if he was 50 metres on his own. he puts a blow torch to the ball every time he eventually decides to kick it. waste of a pick 4. should have got palmer. never pick players that are in between hieghts (190-192). versatility is over-rated, i prefer specialty in one position

    Speed? If the cost was low, I'd definitely consider him. The kid can play. His speed is a weapon, he likes to run and carry breaking the lines and is clearly a confidence player. His currency is almost as low as his confidence at the minute. At 21, Bailey might like the challenge. His biggest issue has been finishing off his work when delivering into the forward 50.

  • Quote

    I'd consider it for a 3rd rounder or equivalent. The pace thing is the only reason though. Oh, and youth.

    yay some people thast know their footy. anyone under 22 that has had a top 2 finish in a best and fairest has some serious talent. he is a specialist half back flanker in my opinion whereas whelan, green, bell, frawley, buckley and bruce are either utilities (bruce), upcoming key position players(frawley), back pocket players(whelan) or midfielders(green).

    He had a brilliant year in 2006. If he could recapture that form then a definite yes.

  • Quote

    One of my favourite players.

    Completely dropped away since his first year for whatever reason, but has had success this year playing as a tagger. Potential is definitely there but his head doesn't always seem so switched on

    Is this rhyming slang?

    We seriously lack creative runners from defence. Buckley, Bartram and Bell can run, but they aren't creative. If the price was no higher than a 3rd round draft choice, I'd take him.

    completely flawed logic. according to this, fevola would be a good pick up? he is a star, that fills a need. It just goes to show that it is alot more complicated than 2 simple steps. age is an issue: sherman is still young.

    Also according to you, melbourne footy club would not even look at players like shaun burgoyne, scott thompson, daniel kerr, bartel if they wanted out at their respective clubs because we already have those types of players at our club. Sherman could be to Whelan, bell, chris johnson etc as a daniel kerr is to nathan jones...an improvement!

    Yes, there has...

    • 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.
