I'm not jumping off the walls with excitement about his one, but he's a Demon now, let's support him. Welcome to the club, good luck in the Red and Blue.

Why wouldn't we wait to sign him as a delisted free agent???

My only thought the trade could be Pick 4 for for Rodan, Pick 7 & one of their 2nd round picks?

Gives them a shot at Toumpas or Grundy and gives us a shot at landing Ray or Pedersen?

Good get I think. The fact we aren't spending picks or players to get him and that he is probably on minimal money makes this a great pick up. Can play a role up forward next to Byrnes and hopefully his body holds up so that he can string some games together. Adds experience and skill and he could potentially be a specialist sub.

He's a proven AFL player that's getting a little long in the tooth.

If anything, he's bound to create competition for spots in the seniors and that is a good thing.

Ridiculous..... A waste of a draft pick or even a spot on our list...

Obviously we need someone to increase our profile on The Footy Show player's revue!!

Hey that's original!

Strange to see a coach drafting mature aged players for a change. After going through the Bailey years where he was hell bent in getting rid of everyone experienced and refusing to draft over the age of 25, this could be just the stimulus we need to rise up the ladder.

But why the urgency? Why not wait until he is a delisted free agent?

tis what I am thinking.

I assume PA caught wind of what we were doing and said 'we don't ahve to delist him, and then you won't be able to secure him until draft day...'

And we say - here is a draft pick we won't use.

Pick 63 or 70 is my guess.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
