Would be happy to have him at the club if he doesn't cost much. He was a star junior, but has had trouble adapting up there on the Gold Coast. He has been homesick and wanting to come home to Victoria to be with family. He also had a niggling ankle injury preseason which meant he isn't as fit as he should be at the moment. A healthy mind and body is what he needs. If he is back home in Vic, gets fitter over preseason, he could be a very good get for us. He has a booming kick and could become out kick-out specialist, similar to Guerra/Suckling at the Hawks. Has the talent! I'd say get him cheaply if we can!

    Where do we sign up?

    Highly-rated-by-consensus juniors sometimes just don't live up to expectations.

    Worth reposting over on the various "should we take Viney at 3" threads, where people are constantly salivating over any number of "highly-rated-by-consensus juniors", and doing themselves physical harm because we mightn't be able to take them because we're locked into Viney.

    Could be a cheap pick up for us, offer a late draft pick or we could pick him up in the PSD for nothing.

    Do we want a Toy of a player...or a real one ?

    Still no trade done for Toy as yet.

    Similar to Jacobs, we should get in his ear and if a trade doesn't go through have him nominate for the PSD so we could potentially grab him there. Either he or Jacobs depending if they were available?

    Would it be worth taking a punt on Toy and offering all of our late picks to GC for him. He looks like he may go for free otherwise. GC could then give the picks out to people on Surfers Paradise beach.

    They dont need heaps of picks, i think they will help him get to any club for nothing at all really, see morton. Due to his condition ect, and they obviously havnt been offered anything under 50 i imagine.

    Think I would be happy if we got him even if he couldn't play. Just make today a bit better. If he was ok, he could be a steal.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
