in Melbourne Demons

Brown is either 26 or 27.

Never been able to work out why he hasn't made it. Played some absolute blinders over the years but then just disappears and gets dropped.

    Leigh Brown could be a handy short term (preseason draft) acquisition to bolster our forwardline for 2 years. Not sure of his age.

    We need to take the pressure off our youngsters, while our young forwards to be recruited develope their bodies confidance & game.

    i've got an awesome idea.

    He's 22 years old so fits out age bracket perfectly. He's got great kicking skills which is what we need.

    He can supply drive off half back which is what we lack.

    His name is Chris Johnson.

    Are you a fan of Chris's or not, I can't hear your tone.

    You've stated nothing re Leigh Brown short term.

    This year the PSD is very dissapointing

    From OUR rebuilding position its even worse

    Looks like a gap filler draft to me

    I wonder how CJ would fit into this thread if this was another club's website

    Now the clubs have done 99% of their delisting, we can actually look at the best options in the PSD. We can invite players to train with us and try to find the best option for the club

    There are a few tall forward options now that we might consider.

    Gourdis has been delisted by Richmond, he's a real athlete but a lot of work needs to be done on his football. Thoolan is a huge kid delisted by Collingwood and he's still only 18, 19 early next year. He's 195cm & 95kg, and that was measured at the start of the year. Couple of young options that we could consider

    Rather than pickign up a delisted player I'd be more inclined to go after the best kid playing in one of the state level competitions.

    Cousins.

    Hell YEH!

    Will we still suck with Beny, but he will bring more media interest to the club and show the kids how to play hard and party hard!

    No. ;) Could do much worse than Kane Tenace.

    Massive selling point that one.

    "Hey Kane, we don't think you are very good but selecting you was the only way we could keep Chris Bryan off the list."

    "Now go introduce yourself to Brad Gotch - you're going to be seeing a lot of him. Hahahahaha!!!"

    They probably could have left off the evil laugh at the end but AFL is an emotional game and it adds drama...and flavour.

    Surely we could convince Clive Waterhouse out of retirement!!

    Daniel O'Keefe.....

    Does he bleed red and blue, because we sure could use an O'Keefe type :o <_<

    Haha...

    I played with Laidlaw before he was drafted.

    Gun player but has been ruined by injuries.

    We will have enough mids after the draft but he is a Melbourne boy, 22 and if he is over his injuries he could be a handy pickup.

    Very much doubt we will pick him up though...

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      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.
