    by trading Dawes and Wellingham

    Please god do not give up anything more then a 3rd rounder for Dawes. If Martin/Pick 13/Gysberts are on the table here I will have a fit.

    Maybe a straight swap for Martin

    Dawes and Wellingham for Pick 13 and Martin I could handle...

    The pies will want pick 13 for him no doubt. Definitely overs. 13 & Petterd for Dawes & Goldsack, now we are talking.

    I can't see the filth having any interest in Stefan Martin if they've just added Lynch and Tippett to their ranks.

    I am very happy with this. I think Dawes will be a good pick up. He will be on the "smaller" contract that he took to stay at the Pies compared to what we were willing to pay last year. So it's not like we are paying out $700 for him. Not to mention we have had Davey, Moloney, etc on big contracts and they havent produced much.

    One of my mates spoke directly to Dawes and he said he has struggled as we all know since getting the role as the 2nd ruckman. He said by the time he goes to the forward line he is stuffed and out of breath compared to the previous years when he was just a full forward. At the Dees he wont need to be the 2nd ruckman thanks to Jamar, Mitchy, Martin, Gawn and maybe Grundy if we get him.

    If its Martin for Dawes, just hang on to Martin. Please...

    It would probably have to be only a pick though because with Lynch and (reportedly) Tippett, their salary cap would be tighter than Johnny Rottens jeans.

    Tim Harrington on Trade Radio gave a VERY diplomatic answer about Dawes that to me seemed to sound like we were after him.

    I like the idea of getting Dawes. His currency is at its lowest point now and I think would still have a lot of great footy ahead of him. In contrast to Stef Martin whose currency is probably not going to get any higher, and who I can't see turning into a great player (as much as I admire his efforts).

    I think we're after anybody that wants to play for us. I would be very disappointed to lose Martin.

    you said it King Ding!

    Dawes > Martin.

    Leigh Brown and Mark Neeld might be just what big Chris needs to return to peak form. Only a year older than Jack Watts.

    1.5 million over 4 years. Do it!

    never mind about currency. have you watched dawes lately?

    I'd take Martin over Dawes.

    exactly Max, said exactly the same thing myself.

    I don't mind it to be honest.

    would rather you be dishonest Stinger

    Martin is better than Dawes.

    hahaaha

    yeah Martin is totally better than a 24 year old key forward who kicked a combined 57 goals and took a combined 200 marks in Collingwoods two grand final years

    what a joke

    Martin is nothing, he has done nothing at AFL level and never will.

    Dawes will be the perfect support for Mitch inside forward 50. I hope we land him.

    • 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.
