As flagged in the weekend press, the Eagles have serious salary cap problems and are very vulnerable to raids from GWS, Natnui being the obvious target since he comes from Western Sydney. They are also apparently seeking to offload their premiership CHF Ashley Hansen. Would we be interested?

Ashley is the son of that well known demon fan, and former ABC commentator Clark. Personally I think Ashley is too like our other key forwards in Watts and Jurrah, although vastly inferior to both, and even to Brad Miller. If we could get him for say a mid 30s draft pick would he be a useful backup.

I still think we need a Neitz-like power forward and there are not too many around unfortunately.

    How the hell do the Eagles have salary cap issues when they are so bad? No Judd, no Cousins, Cox is surely eligible for Vets list, Kerr is on half a leg, and the rest are kids. WTF?

    Also, no.

    We just delisted Miller (thus, we could have kept him for a 50+ draft pick). If Hansen is worse tell me again why we would want him.

    With all due respect, if you had of had that conversation with yourself before you decided to post it on Demonland you could have saved some bandwidth. And this pointless reply.

    If I started a thread for every brain fart I had Demonland would be a laughing stock in 15 minutes. Moreso.

    I lose patience with the lack of footy knowledge from some supporters....

    I have seen Q Lynch, Hansen, Dowler, Thorpe etc been recommended....do some people even watch the footy.....???

    At very least Q Lynch is a big strong bodied player who does make a contest - maybe not taking too much from the contest himself, but he does contest and breaks some packs. That alone IMVHO makes him >>>>> Newton.

    Even if it were mid 30s in the rookie draft I would not consider it for more than a nanosecond.

    A gun ?

    I rate some AA's as "guns", not all mind you.

    Ashley Hansen is far from a "gun" in my book. Handy player at best.

    Always encourage new threads/suggestions, but I do have to pass on Hansen. Hansen has always had the tag of "prospect" over at the eagles, I would now down grade him to "just another player" which we do not need at the MFC.

    If the eagles have cap pressure, it does raise some serious question marks over their football department.

    Rarely (if ever) had it!

    I have never seen anything from him, but a WC fan I know rates him. Reckons he was one of their most important players in 05-06 because when he was injured they really noticed it. Maybe there is something in that. But he seems to me to be an injury prone 'meh' player. No.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
