We have room in the salary cap and draft picks. Who is out of contract and on our radar?

I for one want CLOKE, then the forward line is complete for the next five years you can lock it away and worry about the midfield and defence which is really getting better.

    In the Cloke poll started by RR , around 45 - 47% voted for us to go get Cloke . Clark missing last week (and the rest of the season) underlines the value of a good key forward .

    Somewhere there is a list of the free agents and in amongst them are quite a few midfielders - that's what we need . Cloke will come at a hefty price but I'd be very happy if we snared him .

    i reckon we give Kerr an extra 100 or 200k per season. He is a free agent, bursts from packs and we could milk a season or 2 out of him to help out our mid-field.

    Wont need to give up any draft picks either.

    Mitch Clark.

    No way we get him and he isn't even a power forward...

    So long as West Coast are a chance for the flag, I can't see him going anywhere. But I'd definitely prefer to see the club target a credible midfielder instead of Cloke

    I think we should top up our mids with maybe S.Black and B.Sewel and watch Toumpas,Viney and Trengove grow into a force under there guide.

    The MFC is in need of players like Black IMO and this will fast track the whole team.

    Boak, ($$$$$), > (Mid Rnd Compo Pick + one of Beamer/Sylvia).

    Or, U-17 Mini Draft (Hogan) > (Mid Rnd Compo Pick + one of Beamer/Sylvia).

    Or, Trade Beamer > (Bombers-19)/(GWS-18)/(Suns-24)

    Get Chapman $$$$, to aid our young mids.

    Boak & Chapman, + young draftees, + a mature tall forward, not cloke.

    Apart from Clark (and Jurrah) we have no consistent goal kickers. We cannot kick winning scores. We need two forwards - a big one who can take marks and kick and a smaller one who can gather crumbs and kick.l

    Tom Rockliff and/or Mitch Robinson.

    Im pretty sure ROCKLIFF signed for 3 years last year. I know him pretty well and he did a pre season with Melb who promissed him ha would be picked in the rookie draft. Brisbain beat us to the punch. Another one lost.

    You're probably right. I have little to no knowledge of contract status.

    Those are the 2 names for mine that stand out from the rest I'd love to see this club throw money at.

    I'd also say there's a bit too much affection for Collingwood's list going on up in here.

    Wellingham is the player St Kilda knocked back for Ball and in the end got nothing for. Not the best of moves but says what the Saints list management thought of Sharrod.

    Of course, there is another option - that St Kilda's list management guys were just lousy negotiators

    • 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.
