Would we be interested?

Young, strong, promising defender.

I think we could use an additional tall defender. Especially if the belief that Garland should go forward comes to the fore.

Collingwood would definitely expect a decent return, but having fallen behind Leigh Brown in the pecking order, I don't think Nathan would be adverse to change.

    there is no way they will let him go, they only picked him up a few years ago

    he got injured and wasnt able to break back into the team

    good player but not tradeable. :)

    There will be many other clubs in need of him then us. We don't need him. We should only trade for a player if it is a need/necessity not a luxury or want, this is a given rule when trading.

    spot on...would be a different story if he was a KPF

    He's another of the Collingwood stars that the media salivate over. He was going to be the next big thing CHB,CHF was capable of playing both ends and that was after just one game.

    They are all champions until they leave there.

    No don't think he is what the MFC need deffinetly a key forward and qlty ruckman if available... i like garland down back he takes the game on and its great when u find a position that suits certain players as they can grow onto it and know there job week in week out..

    Just thought I'd bring this one up again to avoid duplicate threads.

    His name has been brought up again - this time within the Luke Ball trade.

    Would love to see Melbourne somehow get involved here... Have huge wraps on N. Brown.

    Can't see Ball falling to PSD and therefore a deal will be done. We may struggle to get a big name now for PSD though a reasonable player may come through later. If not we will be looking for another LJ.

    I agree that Ball won't fall into PSD. I think if anything he could still be convinced to remain a Saint, regardless of media reports.

    I still reckon Burgoyne might (wishful thinking), because I feel that he wouldn't mind coming to Melbourne. My belief is we are his second choice. Especially with Melbourne probably being able to fork out a bit more $$$ than most.

    Still would be willing to throw a pick into the ring and see if we can somehow get involved in a deal involving either Everitt or Brown.

    Which of these players is Brown better than?

    - Warnock

    - Frawley

    - Garland

    - Rivers

    Genuine question.

    I want to know who he'll be booting out of the side (not necessarily right now, but in to the future as well). If the answer's nobody, then it's probably not a worthwhile trade in my mind.

    I think Brown is better than Warnock.

    And secondly, there has been a lot of talk about Garland making a move forward. Brown would help to allow that move to happen. In addition, there remains genuine concern over whether Garland can get fit again. His injury is severe.

    None of them.

    Warnock is under-rated.

    • 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.
