Everyone keeps going on about pick 12 going to North for Hale but we are not offering pick 12, We are offering pick 32which I personally think is a good deal. Does the change of pick change any ones mind about the value of this trade????

Pick 32 is smart business for a big bloke like Hale. No problems from me. Pick 12 is saved for a kiddie.

    Looking at those stats i would keep PJ if they are correct.

    I wouldn't. Hale lacked opportunities this year with Goldstein and McIntosh. PJ had his chances and did nought with them. We (the FD and Mass Public Opinion) know what we get with PJ and thats why the FD are chasing Hale.

    Stats; porn for geeks

    In this case its heavily photoshopped smut.

    Agreed. I was getting very worried that we were giving away 12. Now with a bad draft pick 34 isnt going to be great why not take a chance.

    btw who was the clown who said "i know why melbourne are offering pick 12 (and that he) couldnt tell us why atm" and that we should just trust the FD. HA

    Just highlighting the fact that going on those stats there is very little difference.

    Hale may have had limited opportunities, but he still played 8 games-But for Pick 32 i am happy for the punt.

    This could get interesting.

    We may try to trade to get in a better pick for them, using Warnock or Maric.

    Also looks like the Hawks don't want Josh Hill, cos they wont likely get him with less than that compo pick.

    Played sparingly up forward vs someone who has ample chances and done nuttin.

    Like comparing an apple and banana.

    Hawks have thrown in the pick they got from cambell brown, we are gone it appears

    phew that was close.

    If we get him for 32, nice.

    If not, we have an ridiculously talented up-n-coming forward line (Jurrah, Watts, Pettard, Green, Wona, Sylvia) and an All Australian ruckman. We'll just continue on our merry way, putting our faith in the draft and the players already on our list. who knows, next year Spenser might have a breakout year and become a capable back up. Maybe Fitzpatrick will be blooded and show he's a more than capable 200cm forward. All is certainly not lost.

    Hawks have not said anything about giving up the compensation pick.

    At the moment this is as credible as the claim we offered pick 32 & a swap of first round picks.

    Could easily be posturing and leakage by Norf in an attempt to get us to cough up more.

    We don't know.

    Don't give up hope / celebrate just yet.

    You could be right. Nothing is final...yet.

    If HALE cant choose the DEMONS over the Dawks well we dont want him!

    Pick 32 is fair... Having Hale and the Hawks put pressure on the Dee's is riducolous.

    Pick 32 or nothing. Stick to your guns DEMONS...

    Hawks are trying to force our hand in giving up more. Maybe its there way of getting Warnock off us. But hey is required.

    So F..k off Hawthorn! You look and smell like [censored]...

    We will be thumping you very soon. Thats with a plunger down the dunny and on the field...

    I would be happy to drop 5 spots in the first round of the draft just so we don't have to see PJ 'attempt' to be a league footballer one more time.

    I actually thought the Dees would've gone harder at Hale as he could provide important back up for Jamar and can kick goals unlike Johnson. Remember it's unlikely we're going to get 22 games out of Jamar next year due to his injury prone history.

    He'll be handy for the Hawks.

    If they really want Hale then I doubt very much that the club hasn't another offer up their sleeves.

    Hawks big trade coup

    Hawks would probably use him more in the ruck which might suit his apsirations ...who knows.

    Dees not mucking around...sticking to their guns

    hale is mad if he doesn't want to come to melb...melb are giving him a few ruck duties and letting him sit in the goal square for most of the match. if he goes to the hawks he's going to be running around in the guts and not going to get anywhere near the forward line.

    Hear Hear ... If we have been talking to him for a few weeks yet he will choose the Hawks at the last minute. Then we should thank our lucky stars we found out something about his character before we signed him. However, I very suspicious about these media rumours.

    • 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.
