"Stiffy" is out of contract at years end. Doesn't seem to have a spot at the crows. Probably got 2 serviceable years left, great skills (can take kick outs). Obviously isn't going to thrust us into the top 4, but could play a role. What's everyone's thoughts?

On a side note, Daniel Cross seems to be another our of favour at the dogs, could add some midfield depth and is also a hard worker with leadership qualities.

Discuss.

 

It's getting to the stage for me that I would take anyone we can get. Both would definitely fill holes for a couple of years and teach the kids a thing or two.

Just a question (and in no way having a go), why do many posters on forums end an OP with 'Discuss'?
Being a discussion forum I would assume that is implied. Sorry to point it out but it is just one of those little things that for whatever reason grinds my gears :)

Don't think so, he should have retired at least a year ago. If we're going to chase out of contract players there's quite a few others I'd go after first.

 

As long as they don't do a Rodan and recruit him but not bother playing him.

Has to earn a game first. I think Johncock could be a decent pick up, in better form than Rodan was anyway.


Can't run like he used to, does a hammy at least once a year, and takes him six weeks to recover these days.

Still a competitive player but a long way past his best.

It's a no for me.

Johncock's been fat for years. No thanks.

Cross would interest me because he's of such high quality off the field. However I'm not sure he's be of much use at all on the field

No thats, I'd prefer that we give Davey another year than recruit some other clubs retirees for a year or two.

Besides, i'd prefer we keep the changes to the list limited to the top end draft picks we will have, and some high quality players via FA/Trade

 

Umm...NO! BIg FAT NO! Finished.

Sorry I'm getting bitter...

I couldn't stand another year of the media scum critising "scattergun" trades. I think we already have enough had beens, or never will be's on our list....

We should focus our energies on getting mid 20's players who can play now and for the next 5-6 yrs to create stability and confidence in the list.


Richard Douglas is what we need from the crows..... He just keeps getting better....

Simon Black and Brent Harvey are the only veterans I'd consider at the end of this year.

Black has aspirations to coach and we need someone to teach Toumpas, Viney etc how to play. Could play a real role as an 'on-field' midfield coach for 1 year, followed by 2 years as Midfield Coach.

Prefer that I took a passive aggressive approach and force fed my thoughts, good sir? Haha

With the negativity surrounding several players long term place at our club, the footy department will need a plan b, or a "worst case scenario" if you like. I think cross has plenty to offer. I think stiffy could be a good stop gap, but as others have said, injuries and being burnt by rodan's impact probably put us off of that idea.

totally agree, and grabbing him would ease the pain of losing Scott Thompson.. Maybe?

  • 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.
