    Can play, but has he sorted his head out?

    Sure he has the ability to break games open but personally, he seems every part the glamour/bad boy type. Not dissimilar to Cupido i suppose.

    We have a young list and the players we trade in need to have a positive effect on the playing group off the field as well as on it. If he'd turned any major corners you'd expect he'd be staying at the dons, and a move to the dees wouldn't be a huge change in scenery for him.

    I think Alwyn is the one we'd want from them. After seeing how aggressively we've gone after Warnock I think Bailey may be following the path of the club he came from by recruiting siblings, who knows it may've even been his doing over there.

    No...

    26 years old...

    not a particularly awesome player... a poor mans version on Davey.

    extremely bad egg.... has lots of trouble with the police including stalking his x...

    if he was 20 years old would be a different story perhaps, but no.

    Depends what Essendon want. His age (26-27) would drive down his value to us while his extra curricular activities can't help.

    I wouldn't give up a pick so probable a 2 Melb players for 1 deal.

    Dons are hunting for draft picks I'd say.

    Like everybody else ;) ?!!!

    Nah, don't draft him. He is a head case that beats up on girls.

    My mate Fothers' would like to draft him as he likes the little Aboriginal players like the Davey's and Aussie although he didn't like Che's brothers.

    A head case like Lovett would still be a better player and have more impact than Colin Sylvia onfield and off field.

    You care to elaborate on that..........to support your argument?

    Because IMO Sylvia has done more this year than Lovett has ever done.

    Sylvia is just a very dumb footballer that has no engine. This isn't the Colin Sylvia forum.

    My mate Fothers likes Aboriginal players better -he says he was responsible for getting Les Bamblett to the Ds.

    Though I do think we need pace, I don't think Lovett is in the right 'mold' for us. I woulnd't want to give up much for him either.

    Sylvia has never won an Anzac medal ;)

    Not it isn't the Colin Sylvia forum, its the Andrew Lovett forum, but you brought it up, as you have tried in another forum.

    Sylvia is on the improve, Lovett has no brain.

    Les Bamblett.......FFS. Give me strength!

    You risk wasting a draft pick if you get Lovey as if he is naughty he may end up hurt or in jail.

    Colin Sylvia as a straight swap would be worth it.

    Sylvia is the Ds version of Courtney Johns without the major injuries but with the niggling ones.

    Andrew Lovett is a very talented player. His ability to run and carry the ball, and deliver it, is outstanding.

    But why would Essendon be looking to trade a player with so much skill and pace.

    Cos he is a bad egg. He was suspended twice by the club this year and I get the feeling Knights has lost patience with him.

    If you think Melbourne has the ability to "straighten" him out, you will pick up a very good player if you traded for him.

    Personally, I think Melbourne have enough issues without adding Lovett to the mix.

    Your last sentence carry's the most weight.

    • 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.

    • 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.
