Beau Wilkes

The Panglossian
in Melbourne Demons

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.

    Wilkes. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Sigh.

    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.

    Don't worry about Wilkes, I say we got and get the Q stick! Big Lynch! the glove man!

    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.

    Wilkes....for Jamar......you're kidding.....right?

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
