.

some are sounding like they want to offer the world up for a quick 'about turn'.

Should patience & class be the way forward?

Or should we chuck it in & take a quick fix?

I know what I think.

please keep it largely to a poll & post in the existing P3 & P4 threads.

    The 3rd and 4th best young draftees available as ranked by our recruiting staff. No compromises, no deals unless for top-drawer A-grade talent.

    3 Wines 4 Hogan and Viney at 24(?)

    Pick 13 I'd like to see Stringer and I hope we don't trade it.

    I'd say if there were some serious talent/experience on the table in the form of a top line midfielder, use pick 4 on that. But seeing as there probably won't be, my preferred result would be Toumpas at 3 and Hogan/Martin (MD) for 4. Pick 13 definitely Stringer if he is available. Failing that, Kennedy or Wines.

    the strategy has to be to use high draft picks to take the BEST talent available. It doesnt matter if a club takes too many of one type. Quality players can be used as currency in later years in trade negotiations where a club can use excess talent to trade for a 'need'. MFC, scoop up as much young talent as possible please.

    I will call it now but MFC have done a deal to get caddy and on send pick 4 to GCS and hence let viney slip to pick 20 something. It's what they call a win/win

    I was all for trading pick 3 or 4 for an A-grader with the right fit early on and with trade week starting Monday I' m still open to it.

    The reality is however that no one of note and in their right mind would be willing to be traded to us.

    This leaves me with only wanting 2012 draftees.

    The mini draft doesn't sit too well with me. These kids are over 18 months away from having any impact for us and we need all the help we can get right now. The variables associated with getting a 17yo kid who has been projected as a top line pick 12 months out from the next draft seem too great to say the least.

    Recruit now and for the love of God recruit well!!

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
