Does anyone at Demonland know Wilkes' contract status?

He killed us at Sandy and twice in the AFL this season.

He's the same size as David Neitz, a strongmark and an accurate kick.

The Saints have quite a few key forwards, so he lacks opportunities.

Is their any way we can chase him?(eg offer them Jamar in return?)

    couldn't offer Jamar.

    He has recently re-signed for 3 years

    We don't have anyone not contracted worth a trade.

    No way.

    Belongs with Kent Kingsley in the 'Duds who only play well against Melbourne' hall of fame.

    You can still trade players who are contracted

    Wilkes is the perfect example why Cook will never make it. Wilkes is a really good VFL key forward, but a fringe AFL player.

    I know were desperate for a few older players to teach the younger ones a thing or two.. but ffs the man is nearly 50.. no thanks.

    Scott Watters drafted him because he rates him. I dont think the saints would be interested in getting rid of him.

    Also he's not any better than average to begin with IMO

    His two best games were against us and aside from that he was playing mostly in the twos, so nah.

    I hope so :unsure: Wilkes is borderline AFL quality at best. JJC must've only seen him the games he played against us.

    I thought he was pretty impressive against Carlton in round 23 .....I saw that.

    So the four times I saw him he was pretty instrumental in his side's victory.

    How old is he? I thought he was about 25, but he's certainly not worth considering if he's older than that.

    i would jamar is the ''donuts disposal'' king.. atleast wilkes can take a mark and kick goals.

    He's 26 and has been in the system on and off since 2004. He's the avatar for players stuck between levels.

    Exactly half his career goals have come against us. Says more about us then it does him.

    He kept Kosi out of the team in the last couple of games.

    Nuff said, really.

    Did you see Kosi's last game/this year? Kosi looks done, I think Lucas Cook would be holding Kosi out of spot....

    A swap for Dunn is all I would offer. He's probably still contracted.

    • 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.
