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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?
