    I don't reckon Neeld and co are overlooking anything. They will talk with every club and seek advantage at every point.

    The sooner Rivers and Moloney make their minds up, the sooner we get an idea of what our free agency compo would likely be and can make a better decision about whether to dilute or lose it with further free agency signings.

    I'm a big wrap for Jordan Russell. Haven't heard much about him. Maybe I'm one of a select few who think he is worth chasing?

    You're not the only one. I rate him and would be handy across the HB line.

    Clinton Young was rumoured to have toured Collingwood yesterday. He would be great for us out on a wing/hff.

    I was trying pretty hard to forget them, actually.

    Why??

    just because some of them didnt work at their respective clubs, doesnt mean they wont dominate at Melbourne

    Tarnished forever by that fumble in the goal square that gifted jack a goal.

    Clinton Young as a free agent would be a great signing. Unsure why MFC is not keen. He has premiership glory. Surely a 2-3yr deal with MFc at good coin would entice. Very classy and has the pace we need.

    This decision may be hanging on, & hinging from the Farren Ray decision,

    I guess it would depend on the order of our things.

    Players we are forgetting, taggert, Tynan, Gysberts, Strauss, all missed 2012 for certain reasons......add this to Viney, pick 4 and pick 20 and our midfield options are looking better to me, in terms of improvement.

    Ontop of a base of Jones, Grimes, Sylvia, Mckenzie, Blease, Howe edit Trengove

    Edit again with Tapscott, Bail, Magner, Evans, Nicho

    Hopefully we can make a decent midfield out of all this?

    We are getting there

    Jordan Russell? Yuk!

    Jordan Russell? Yuk!

    Stepping stones Grun dee.

    We tried the youth build but forgot about the need for a strong culture, to underpin the whole foundations.

    So we are left with some fine young men who have an enormous job to lift the club, off the back of not much more than excellent characters.

    We need IMO, to shift many older players, as they have learnt the ways of the old culture.

    Bringing in some mature players from successful clubs should help to set in train the new ways.

    Jordan Russell would be a good get. He'd give us drive out of the backline, something we struggle with at the moment due to an abundance of talls and poor kicks.

    Wouldn't bother with the rest of those names though.

  • Quote

    The rookies at Geelong three played games and now may get delisted, excess mids e.g Jordan Schroder

    Young players from those clubs who would be playing at mfc could benefit from a new home

  • Quote

    Certainly keen on Russell.

    I'd be keen to take a punt on Steven Salopek also as cost would be very minimal and he'd certainly fit a need with the ability to play as an inside and outside midfielder.

    With Byrnes already tucked away, fingers crossed we can land a KPF (Dawes, Gumby or Brown) and Farren Ray and we've suddenly obtained that experience we're looking for.

    • 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.

      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.
