Viney and pick 4 wont be sufficient enough to turn midfield around. 3 and 13s is overs for Hogan...

That is true.

    Something doesn't seem right to me with this pick 13 business.

    How sure are you that it is part of the Hogan trade? It doesn't make sense to me why GC pay less for MD1.

    I'm getting a sick feeling that if pick 13 is gone, GC have it. And we have a player that doesn't want to be on our list.

    Someone tell me it can't be possible.

    And who is a FIGJAM.

    Actually drafted by the one and only Barry P.

    Spot of revisionism going on on the boards.

    No, Neeld drove this one. BP may have been the recruiting boss at the time but it doesn't mean he was the decision maker.

    Not sure how truthful as it was stated as just rumour. I would say most likely would be for Dawes as we seem to be chasing him pretty hard

    Heard this morning;

    Adelaide - Pick 13

    Sydney - tippett

    Pies - Sam Reid

    Demons - Dawes

    Came through a friend who was talking to Sam Kekovich, according to him we are pushing extremely hard for Dawes

    Something must have changed for WCE to be interested in any member of the Morton family. Pretty sure the Morton family burnt that bridge to the ground.

    Hope we keep Evans.

    Maybe thats the Key Utah, the bridge is now the 'Gap'. As maybe, the gap to Sydney has shown.

    Lift & Seperate, looks the goodes.

    Pick 13 is apparently going to be used for about 4 different trades now according to the media...

    A tad convoluted. We'd only need trade 13 for Dawes, everyone else can do what they like, doesn't directly affect us so why so involved.

    Might be the eventual result,but not our requirement

    Spot on why would we trade a top pick and get the worst deal?

  • Quote

    I didnt get it either why do we need to help Adelaide and Sydney out to strength their lists when we could deal directly with Collingwood, The only thing I could think of his Collingwood didnt want pick 13 for Dawes, they would prefer a ready made replacement.

    I am with you Born to Run, I didnt like it either when I heard it, I think 13 is paying well over for Dawes.

    as if Sydney will give up Reid....

    I would hate that trade.

    yeah everyone else seems to have done well out of it apart from us!

  • Quote

    If the repeatedly reported trade of 3 & 13 for Hogan & 20 goes through, I'd say Dawes for 20 would be a comfortable result. Bear in mind we also have the Rivers compo pick which could be about late 20s.

    Martin for Ray would be a loss for us IMO, would take a late-ish pick on top of it.

    Every deal the media spits out works against us. They have an agenda...

    Kidding yourselves if anyone thinks a Rivers (alone) pick is a first rounder. Even with Beamer going our nett result is one (1) loss as we gained Byrnes.

    I'd expect a mid to late 2nd rounder at Best.

    If the 20 pick comes our way then the Pies might go for it. Their wallet's a bit light on trading picks, the poor dears ;)

    • 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.
