    Surely they must be joking!!

    don;t laugh- if chris connolly and the rest of the mfc footy dept find out warnock to carlton is done deal- they'll be getting taylor. we need a ruckman. he'd be better than jamar. i'm not saying i'd give up 19 for taylor, but don't be surprised to see him in red and blue.

    good point. Lets hope we get caught up chasing Warnock til the last minute so there's no chance we make the mistake of going for Seaby or Taylor..

    In tonights news from the Age "Barring a last-minute change of heart by either club before Friday's 2pm (AEDT) trading deadline, O'Keefe is now very unlikely to be at Hawthorn next year."

    As I started this thread with the possibility us getting Thorp and Dowler with Green as part of the deal, thought I would revisit it considering the above development.

    Maybe not Thorp, but maybe picks and/or players from the Hawks for Green. Green's manager has indicated a preference to move to another Melbourne club and who better than the premier.

    I will watch proceedings tomorrow with interest.

    The Australian is reporting that the only way Hawthorn will take O'Keefe is if they can get another draft pick (early 20's suggests Pelchen). They don't want to start the draft with a late second rounder. The Australian threw the names of Dowler and Thorp out there as possible generators as draft picks. Maybe a chance exists to get one of these guys afterall by offering up 17 or 19 which would then allow them to give Sydney pick 16 for O'Keefe which Pelchen suggests is a fair trade. Getting our hands on Thorp would be a fantastic outcome. I just can't see the rationale in letting him go if I was Hawthorn. They may, however, be willing to let go Dowler. If so, is he worth us giving up 19?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
