Both players stiff to miss out on granny berths but as always in such cases they may be considering a future elsewhere.

Byrnes would be a good fit for us. 27yo hard bodied small mid/forward with finals/flag experience.

Goldsack also has some good attributes and has direct links to Neeld.

Thoughts?

    Don't want to pay overs too much for older players. Bargains is what we need.

    We still have to find our own young small forwards. I'm also running short of belief with Wonna's dedication. Lawrence I like so Far.

    We quickly have to find our mosquito squadron.

    Byrnes is a hack. Goldsack may be a good fit.

    Chapman is hard bodied. Rooke is hard bodied. Selwood is hard bodied. Byrnes is not hard bodied.

    Beg to differ ...

    I'm open to many bit-part players at the right price but you still have to move enough players on to bring in the bit-part players...

    I quite like Goldsack as a player (good size, strong and the right age for us) but I don't know where he would fit in our backline. No doubt Mark Neeld would some views on this.

    I'm not keen on Byrnes. Too old for us, and I'd prefer to play Aaron Davey as a small forward and develop a youngster (Lawrence?) for that role in the longer term.

    Having a good physique does not necessarily mean "hard bodied".

    He looks big enough but is more of an outside player, he can go in hard, but that is not his forte.

    I think there are better options for us.

    Such as? Who's going to kick 35+ goals for us next season and pinch hit on the ball?

    Davey would seem the clear choice but his form is a major worry.

    recruiting shannon byrnes reminds me of recruiting a gary moorcroft. Waste of time, space and money. No thank you.

    I rate the potential in about 25 player on our list before Tyson Goldsack too. So I say no.

    I am not exactly sure who is another choice, as I have not spent time thinking about it, however I dont really rate him, so I would love you to put up some other choices. Not sure who else is available.

    I would like to have Davey stay in the forward line and I would also like to see what the new coaches can do with our current crop of platers.

    If there was a really good option out there I am all for a trade, but not Byrnes for me.

  • Quote

    Byrnes is crap. Even if we wanted a 27 year old small forward, I wouldn't go near Byrnes.

    Goldsack is decent, but I can't see him leaving, or them letting him go.

  • Quote

    Goldsack has some currency. Depends on what we could get him for. Could Goldsack make our best 22? Not interested in trading for depth players.

    Byrnes is okay, but not really what we need.

    BUMP

    Goldsack would be a great fit for us partic if we lose Rivers. Can play fwd and back is a hard body and goes at it hard.

    Can see why Neeld would be interested. And wouldn't cost us an arm and a leg. Played a terrific game last night against WCE

    Absolutely no chance of goladsack coming to the dees

  • Quote

    Goldsack is just about my favourite player in the AFL. I rate him really highly, and would like him to come to the Dees, but as has been stated, that's pretty much just not going to happen.

    Perhaps not but what chance Goldsack?

  • Quote

    Byrnes looked good today in the VFL against Werribee. Mainly because he can take a mark and kick to a target successfully.

    Not bad attributes for a footballer. Seriously though one of our biggest problems i reckon is how poor our field kicking is. It is one of the reasons Watts stands out.

    Agree. Some of his work was terrific, particularly his decision making (unlike Wojo's)

    Really? He's OOC.

  • Quote

    Goldsack is definitely OOC.

    He is still on the periphery at Collingwood. Though his performance on Saturday night might have changed that. He was ferocious. Hopefully Bucks drops him for Maxwell before the GF and he cracks the sads...Then we're a chance

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
