If Luke Ball gets delisted by saints , we should try and get him or trade.Good player and is only 25 and could fill the void left by Wheels

    no thanks, too expensive because saints wont delist him but even if they did we already have mclean, jones, moloney, valenti who are in and under and slow with limited kicking ability

    If the talk about getting rid of Jones is true then getting Luke Ball would be pointless. Wouldn't touch him anyway.

    Nup. This is rebuild time. Let the other teams worry about 25 yo cast offs and we will worry about getting kids to grow a good side a couple of years from now.

    At the moment we have 50% of the list for that one. But, yeah, it's not the fit for us. If we were sitting 4th or 5th I'd say we should consider it but it's not what we need or want at the moment.

    if we were going to deal with the saints i reckon we go for that ben mcavoy he looks too be a fair player.

    Who do you guys rate higher - Ball or Maclean?

    Ball

    Ball would be a great pick-up, but I can see the Saints only getting rid of him for something worth taking. I don't think it's worth Melbourne giving up anything huge for Luke Ball, another club maybe but certainly not us.

    St Kilda would never let him go.

    King / Gardiner only have so much time left and McEvoy is a gun youngster that plays their position.

    Not a chance.

    Yeah knew it would be a long shot but worth a try i guess. i really dont think we nned ball though, good player but not the fit for us right now we have to many of hes type.

    Jamar has been good the few weeks but is there any disgruntled ruckmen around at the moment that we could give a late pick for??

    Jamie charmen perhaps? how old is he?

    I think Ball's the better player but Mclean is the better kick.

    He would fit easily in our team but I wouldn't be offering the world for him.

    Let's be honest though, in reality the likelihood of him coming is very very low. These things are very hard to work out and never seem to work. Our team is not in need of Ball although he would be add something to our team but not something we desperately need. He will not be coming to the Dees IMO.

    Has anyone put some thought into getting Luke Ball to MFC.Not sure what the rumours are like in VIC but in SA the word seems to be that he wont be at the Saints next year.Is he contracted or could we possibly get him in the PSD.Would be a great addition to the club i think,could help the young lads out & add a bit of class.What are eveyones thoughts or info about this? Also Salopek,Boak & ebert all signed for the Powerless so we would have to trade,no chance of PSD for them.Also i dont mind Marcus Drum,is good size & played a good game on the weekend & heard he wants to head back to VIC

    Thanks for the heads up on Boak, Salopek. Any news on D.Pearce?

    No from me on Ball.

    Just was thinking - Maclean plus pick 18 or 34 for Ball - remember Maclean won the game for us in the 06 Final against the Saints - they may view him as a fair replacement with a sweetner thrown in.. They're the same age so we're not looking any older (apart from the extra pick...).

    Pearce,Kane Cornes,Ebert & Justin Westoff have all been told that they are on the table for trades & the club is after anyone thats interested in them,they have even come out & said they will add another 17 players to that list.they are pretty keen for any offers & realy want a Ruck

    It's all about price.

    If he comes through the PSD, of course you'd take him.

    Do you think the Saints might just be aware of McLean in the 3 years of subsequent games he has played particularly against the Saints? <_<

    • 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.
