I am tossing up between Matthew Warnock (@ $327,100) and Colin Garland (@ $296,400). Any ideas?

    J.Grimes ($188,400). Will score more than both. Cheaper and will rise in value. Much better option.

    I was leaning toward Garland, which would give enough dough to get Grimes for the bench/investment. Both of you guys saying Grimes straight up has got me thinking now - it frees up a bit of cash to cover some other areas.

    Thanks boys

    Grimes easily.

    You've gotta go a possession winner over a tall defender. Warnock might be an OK player, but he's certainly not going to be great for Supercoach.

    Grimes is silky and gets the footy, meaning high efficency which equals good point scoring

    Has anyone noticed how clunky this tear's versions of supercoach and dreamteam are. Every time I try to scroll through players my computer just about freezes. What have they done?

    out of Garland and Warnock, go with Garland... but as others have said, Grimes over both of them...

    I'd take Garland myself between the two. I'd also have Grimes with some extra cash. With games, Grimes' price should go north.

    you have all missed one as well. Pettard is in the backline and cheep. Very good value for mine as he will play a lot wing/HF and looks the goods this year if he stays fit. IMHO pettard/grimes is better value and should be a better net return then the garland/warnok pair purely from being spoilers v midfielders!

    What other dees players are people considering? I have Grimesy down back already and Spencer as a 4th ruck (I figure he will be playing by years end and at 83k it's all you need to spend on a 4th ruck).

    The only other dee im considering is Morton as a 5th midfield option his kicking hurts his efficiency from time to time but he does kick goals and knows how to find the footy, I hope his teammates will actually see him waving his arms around in plenty of space out on the wings this year then he'll rack up even more possies.

    Apart from those three I can't really see myself taking the risk on anyone else at this stage... maybe Benell, Jetta or Bail as a rookie Midfield emergency but there are probably better options.

    I considered Ricky P but he's a big risk with injuries the blokes just to courageous (if that's possible) throwing himself into every contest means he'll prob be injured 50% of the year, hope that's not the case though.

    No doubt I will make many more changes as r1 gets closer. So far I have had Morton and Sylvia and then removed them, considered Green (still not sure) and have added Grimes and Cheney (emer) to the defence. I am more likely to keep tabs on Melbourne players more than opposition so even though I don't have many Dees in the starting 22, my emergencies are littered with red and blue. I have both Meesen and Spencer as ruck emergencies on the basis that one of them quite simply is guaranteed to play. I have both Benell and Jetta as midfield emergencies on a similar rationale although this is no where as water tight.

    I would be interested to hear other people's strategies, ie are you going all out best 22 for that one lucky week they are all in or for a good over all squad to cover injuries and focus on the whole season.

    Also I have not played this before, can someone please explain the full benefit of having players that rise in value. My understanding is that if they are worth more then you have more to trade with but why would you trade if they are going so well anyway - I am obviously missing something here.

    Injuries/Age. If you can pick the time to off load a young player that is about to be rested for several weeks or a player who gets injured and then say Watts starts playing you may gain 100k from the other bloke and you can upgrade another established player that is not performing to a star that is. if you can pick a couple of rookie's that avg's close to 100pts/game and play 20+ games your set!

    I now have Grimes (but need him to play), Spencer as a ruck emergency, and Davey in the forward line (hoping he will also pick up possessions running through the midfield), although his injury has me worried

    bugger, 1 game in and already 1 player short. Grant for the doggies and sidebottom for the filth both not picked for rnd 1. leaving 1 emg (schonmakers) to come in. Not a good start!

    Need a good rookie that will play rd 2 in the forward line and has to be under 100k if sidebottom and grant don't get a gig.

    Taylor Walker -- get on board before his price skyrockets

    Hope you all got on Mitch Robinson.

    94k and just scored 109 SC points. Luckily, I had him as an emergency for Sylvia...

    • 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.

      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?

      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.
