    I've got OBJ in fantasy. I'd be pleased if he went ANYWHERE else really. San Fran... Rams... anywhere.

    Def Bryant released by the Cowboys...

    Did not see that coming tbh

    My mate @Kraken is devastated. Jerruh put up the X on Dez...

    How much will he get and where will he end up? I'd love it if Eagles had the room and snaffled him. They don't of course.

    Comment I read yesterday was that Dez said “I’ll see you twice next year” so that leaves 3 teams he could go to , giants, skins and eagles...

    Yeah, but even among WRs he carries on like a pork chop. Hasn't been dangerous or scary since he did his ankle. Is worth more to opposition teams making it all about him, than he is to the teams he plays for.

    I reckon as a GM with the whole "Dallas for life" thing, it'd be hard to get excited about a player who has DIVA concerns but doesn't produce well enough to have them. Will have to be a Red Zone threat at best, like Jimmy Graham. I don't reckon he'll be able to choose where he goes nearly as easily as people are saying. At Rams for example he'd be third biggest target.

    Good foil for Jefferies...

     

    Where do u think he goes?

    I'd take Dez at the Jags. I reckon he would be an unbelievable slot receiver, like Anquan Boldin or Larry Fitz.

    So the Draft is soon, think the rams are just coming for day 3... :)

    Eagles are still partying... Won't be attending at all.

    Interestingly, they hosted the draft last year, and within a few months hoisted the Lombardi in the same place. After all the Dallas trolling. Pretty sweet. Only problem with that... It's in Dallas this time. :o

     

    So speaking of draft... How we feeling @Macca @Clintosaurus @Gorgoroth @Kraken @JV7 @DeeSpencer? Any early picks?

    Aside from the usual QB talk, I'm interested in Barkley the most. Will he be Zeke or Richardson? And what about Chubb?

    Speaking of QBs.... The Foles trade didn't end up happening @Macca

    That's right Dappa ... from memory Gorg made the call that Foles would end up staying. 

    I suppose the whole 'will he/won't he stay could go on for quite some time though ... especially if/when the Eagles make the switch back to Wentz.  It's still newsworthy from my point of view.

    As for the draft,  I know that the Packers have a stack of picks outside of the first 3 rounds ... 12 picks in all over the 7 rounds.  Whether we use them all is another matter.  Our needs are many especially at CB,  RB,  OL,  OG,  SS & TE. 

    I'm not up with all the prospective would-be draftees but I never usually am until the last couple of days or so before the draft ... and sometimes just on the day! 

    The other question is whether the Pats trade up for a QB prospect - there's been plenty of talk especially surrounding Josh Rosen.

    Interesting fact that I heard the other week ... that a 3rd of all NFL players from year to year are undrafted players.  Considering there's over 2000 total players in any given year on various rosters that makes about 650+ undrafted players.

    Heard Rams might trade up to the 30's if one of two OLB are available, but no names were mentioned and i dont know how we get there.

     

    Foles might go if a team loses their starter for the year within the first few weeks as teams will give up more whwn desperate. And by then the Eagles will know how Wentz is tracking.

    I think we all settled on that. The debate was more about what he'd be worth in a trade, rather than the likelihood. I thought all along that with Wentz's knee being as it was, the preference would be either a first rounder, or to keep him. As you say, it'll go on and on the will-they-won't-they talk. Part of me thinks they might eventually tire of the speculation and move him on just to stop the external noise.

    That's not quite right Dappa ... you and I thought he may get traded before the 2018 season but it looks like he'll at least start the season in the absence of Wentz. 

    We were talking about the possibility of Foles being traded whilst his currency was high etc etc.  That is how I remember the conversation.  

    Gorg's opinion was that he'd stay.

    My biggest interest in the draft this year is seeing what new and wonderful way the Browns can completely stuff it up! ?

    Taking Josh Allen at #1 would be a sure fire stuff up. I reckon Barkley at #1 and Chubb at #4 is their way forward. Tyrod Taylor is good in the mean time and they can take a QB like Luke Falk at 33 or 35 to learn in the next season or two.

    More importantly, I hope everyone is watching 'Draft Day' before Friday. I have it sitting on the TV unit so I give it a view on Wednesday or Thursday night.

    Yeah. "May." I was more "hoping" he'd get traded as I wanted that first rounder. But wasn't interested in a late second rounder, as Jimmy G got better than that. Always felt pre season or early 2018 was most likely, but certainly didn't see a minor contract extension coming, not in today's day and age of fast and furious trades. It was an extension they didn't need to do, so I'm pretty pleased they tried to help him out.

    • 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.
