A poster on demonology said he heaqrd the following:

Jolly to Pies

rusling or Dawes to Demons

Pia & Brad to Swans?

Any thoughts on losing Brad or Pia?

Personally dont know much about Dawes, but Rusling was meant to be the great white hope for pies, but has been decimated by shoulder injuries........cant be worse than Miller though surely?

Brad seems like an impressive person and leader, but just doesnt dominate games.

Why would Collingwood or Sydney want to include MFC in this deal?

Miller vs Dawes or Rusling, Who would you take if you were the Swans?

    Well another article mentioning Simon Buckley as a trade, will be interesting which clubs are interested and what they are prepared to offer.

    Don't really see the point getting a 2nd or 3rd pick for a player in a weak draft for a young player who has some potential.

    Wouldn't be upset if Carlton took Bell off our hands.

    Miller to be offered a new deal though, looks like hes staying after all.

    Not sure why we would want to get rid of Buckley..........before getting injured this year, he has shown plenty of promise!

    McLean + Bell + Buckley to Carlton for pick 11 and Pratt's bank account.

    :D

    What about Buckley, Bell and pick 50 to Carlscum for pick 27.

    27 to Dogs for Everitt.

    Picks 1,2,11 & 18 kept.

    Oh, but I really wanted some new shoes....

    That sounds like a fair deal, but I doubt they'll go for it.

    If you believe the article posted above, we rate Buckley highly, so who knows (probably just Melbourne's PR team spinning [censored] to raise his price).

    It would be ideal to keep our first four picks. It means we may not even have to bother drafting past 18, if we're looking to keep 1 PSD pick up our sleeve. This is especially true if we trade Bell, who is contracted, and free up some more space on the list.

    I would imagine we will use 1, 2, 11, 18 & 34 as selections unless we trade 18 for someone like Everitt.

    We have delisted 3 and traded Brock.

    If the new Rookie rule allows us to keep Spencer for another year on the Rookie list that is like another pick.

    If you add PSD pick 1 to 5 ND picks we need to get rid of 6 players.

    Therefore we need to delist or trade 2 more players.

    A trade of a couple of players like say Buckley and Bell, plus pick 34 for example, for an improved draft pick say in the low 20's, may be highly sought by some clubs.

    "Simon Buckley should not be up for trade, This kid has shown good signs, Give him an extended run without injury "

    Couldn't agree more, Steamin'

    working Buckley intoa adeal or trading separately is surely juggling come sematics ? Two teams...this for that..all the same in teh wash.

    Buckley will struggle to break into our new ( bar raised ) midfield.. he could be used off of half back but there too he is johnny come lately.

    Some aspects to like about him...not enough to miss him.. Trade him... do it !!

    Carlton will try and either work Buckley into the McLean deal or/ will trade for him seperatley.

    Lock it in Eddie.

    Would that be for 11 & 27 Dr? Will it also involve 34 or 50 the other way?

  • Quote

    i really like Buckley, if we trade him for anything over 30 its a joke. Even if we cant see him fitting into out line up, he has shown enough to keep with him or recive a good deal for him

    Hey mate,

    not sure at this stage - I imagine that they would be offering something late in the draft (ala Chris Johnson).

    Speaking of which - I spoke to a pretty prominent Carlton Board member (Ari Sus) on the weekend who told me that the club (more so board) classify the Chris Johnson aquisition to be a calamity.

    Good on them.

    If only they'd given us something for him, instead of getting him for free.

    There in may be the delay ... they are offering us something we cant or wont use.

    So we have to decide if we want to give Buckley away for nothing or if that pick is on tradeable?

    By the way they got Chris Johnson via the PSD last year ... we got nothing for him.

    Ah, so they're offering us a game plan.

    Yeah, a calamity. Could lightning strike twice? re: Bell. ;)

    We got nothing for him except a spot on the list which we used in the PSD for LJ.

    We win.

    The only reason Carlton got him for nothing in the PSD is because Melbourne knocked back Carltons 6th round selection (approx Pick #90'ish), in the hope that he would re-sign.

    All I want to say is I hope we don't trade Buckley and I reckon we won't trade away pick 18.

    Which was slightly more than he was worth.

    That is more like it! I would probably persist with Newton for one more year. Offer them Miller.

    I think we need to keep all of our picks. Only trade to improve them or remove list cloggers. I would only accept a player in trade for one of our list cloggers.

    Whilst Miller has pretty much gone backwards the last few years, I would definitely keep him over Newton. An acceptable trade in my eyes for Newton would be a packet of TimTams and a box of Cheezels.

    • 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 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.
