Is it a foregone conclusion?

Will we pick up Jack Watts in the National Draft as it has been widely tipped? Or will it be Naitanui or Rich?

Or will Melbourne somehow lure Warnock from Fremantle from the financial grip of Carlton (commonly referred to as VISY Blues in some circles)?

If you had a wish list what would it be (ie like a list for Santa) come trade and draft time, what would it be?

Here's my list: -

TRADE: - Green & Pick 35 to Bulldogs for Pick 14 in return.

Daniel Bell and pick 67 for Adam Thompson (Port Adelaide)

DRAFT: - Picks 1, 14, 17, 19, 51

Pick up Watts, Zaharkis, Blease, Vickery (not necessarily in that order) and fluke quality with 51 somehow.

PSD: - Robbie Warnock!

GO DEES!!

    Just a thought, it was 7 changes to the list wasn't it?...I think that is what Connolly said...7 or 8?

    My "Crystal Ball" side: -

    B: GRIMES MARTIN GARLAND

    HB: BUCKLEY RIVERS MORTON

    C: ZAHARKIS McLEAN BLEASE

    HF: DAVEY MILLER SYLVIA

    F: VICKERY WATTS MARIC

    Foll: R.WARNOCK JONES MOLONEY

    INT: WONAEAMIRRI, BATE, P.JOHNSON, A.THOMPSON

    Bit far fetched..........we can only dream!

    I like the way you think however I'm a little less optomistic now then a few days back about us possibly picking up Warnock in the PSD so here's what I think.

    TRADE:

    Carroll and pick 51 to Hawthorn in return for pick 49.

    Wonamerri (sorry everyone) and pick 35 to Fremantle in return for pick 21.

    DRAFT:

    1. Watts

    17. Blease

    19. Roughead

    21. Zaharakis

    49. Klause

    PSD: Podsiadly (Hope I spelt it right)

    TEAM:

    FB: Garland Warnock Whelan

    HB: Wheatley Rivers Bell

    C: Bate Moloney Green

    HF: Bruce Miller Robertson

    FF: Newton Podsiadly Davey

    Foll: P. Johnson Morton McLean

    Int: Jamar, Jones, McDonald, Sylvia

    Emerg: Bartram, Dunn, C. Johnson

    Why would we trade Wonaemirri.

    FFS, why does everyone think just because a player is a decent performer he should be traded. We need a core group of players to build our young squad around. There is no need to trade Green, Wheatley, Sylvia, Wonaemirri just for the sake of it. I was completely for Travis Johnstone's trade. It was a good offer and the right time to part with Trapper. And If it were to be the same situation for one of the players listed above I wouldnt mind but we cant just throw them away.

    And why Podisadly, he's a decent player who has consistently done the job at VFL level but do you not understand the word youth. Google it, you might learn something.

    1 - Jack Watts. We need a forward before a ruckman.

    17 - David Zaharakis. Will probably be the best midfielder available at this point.

    19 - Mitch Banner/Aaron Cornelius. Depending on where we want to go, these two will both become excellent performers.

    35 - Jordan Roughead. I can see him slipping back this far. We need a ruckman.

    Why the hell does everyone seem to think any trade we do will involve a pick and a player for a higher pick????WHY!!!And Wonaeamirri???? Yeah, lets give up a good little player for nothing. And Brad Green? Sure, if he doesnt sign,shop him around for the best pick.IMO he should be the next skipper so why trade him???

    It's a good way to upgrade picks and in a valuable draft like this (Not only quality wise, but because of GC17 in years to come) we need to grab any decent picks we can get.

    Is Didak worth considering , or Brad Fisher from carlton . Both may be on the trade table .

    Didak in some quarters has been tipped to stay at the filth. However, recent talks with Ben Cousins with Mick Malthouse - allegedly - may or may not depend on Didak staying. Rhyce Shaw could be another development.

    Edit: In relation to who may be on the trade table. Not insinuating that Melbourne should chase Didak or Shaw.

  • Quote

    We dont need Didak. His an excellent player, but his off-field profile is not something the MFC need.

    Brad Fisher is a so-so player. Reliable for a goal but very ineffective most of the time.

    No to both.

    Why would we pick up a 27 or 28 year old from the VFL (podsiadly)? Absolutely ridiculous, it does not fit in with our YOUTH policy for starters and the fact he has been on about 4 rookie list tells me he is not up too it. :wacko:

    Quite right. Podsiadly has been playing a number of years now at VFL level. If you were going to pick him up it would of been 4-5 years ago, even longer.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
