    Another very ordinary draft week for the MFC...i am so dissapointed in the club. I realise we wanted to keep our high drat picks but surely there was something out there that could have helped improve the MFC

    That cant be it..

    When you see players like Ryce Shaw and Ray getting traded, im sure we could give people more decent players than that.

    I think our negotiating skills must be horrible and we must be expecting too much for players who were part of a 16th placed team.

    l just think that no-one wants to come to us, we have this reputation mainly spun by the media that we are going to be no good for the next 10 frickin' years, f%#k the lot of them, we will be back on track with our own young blokes in about 2-3 years

    The problem we have is that the MFC dont have enough $$$ to hire compotent people to work on things like trade week, i think you will find that CC is doing the job of three people.

    Judging by the Rhys Shaw and Anthony Corrie deals, i'd say there weren't any deals that WE were happy with.

    Nothing wrong with that.

    I'd be a lot more [censored] off if we traded a bunch of players for inadequate compensation.

    THAT would be an indication we have poor negotiating skills

    i'd rather we rebuild the club from the draft and in-house

    You're saying Melbourne knowingly hired incompetent people? Interesting.

    Amazing that we couldnt even unload Daniel Bell for a pick in the 70's.

    i agree with that YM

    i am so glad we kept CJ and i want you guys to remember this and if im wrong i will wear the abuse...

    if he stays injury free he will prove to be a super player and will come in the top5 in the B & F next year!!!

    I wouldn't worry too much. I really don't think there was much to trade for. We have our picks and PSD in place. Brent Prismall has a bung Knee, Okeefe a highly inflated price. We Didn't lose Green, & nobody knows how good or bad Warnock is. Definately not worth 400 k. Carlton may regret that one. So all in all i think MFC was quite wise. Remember if there is no interest in Bell or Carroll that's that. MFC can't give them away. Think toward the Future-we will improve.

    On the flip side, it can mean we have a poor list of ordinary senior players that no one wants (and we're not willing to trade away our youngsters).

    It's not like we were the only Club to fail to find a suitable deal - North were shopping around a few players and didn't get any takers.

    CJ is out of contract.

    Could walk into the PSD on the way to WC or Freo.

    Correct. Six ordinary trades across 16 clubs.

    That does not make him a super player.

    And your comment on MFC staff shows how uninformed you really are.

    • 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.
