Waited for someone to bring it up. We have to keep in mind that davey, rodan among others won't be there to "fill in" games. As such, we do need to look at some way of covering that. Sure, they weren't stars this season, but they provided a few cameos that we can't expect blease, Strauss, taggart etc to consistently cover yet, unfortunately. Players like Matt Thomas, Daniel cross will all need consideration, but all this is dependant on trades, priority picks and our ability to retain players like Sylvia etc.

Thomas is no star, but behind port's midfield that will eventually be seen on par with collingwood and geelong, perhaps only surpassed by gold coasts, you see why he struggled for games.

would definitely make our side.

but i've heard he's off to tigerland.

Tigerland might have a lazy $500000 by the sounds of things.

Thomas is a tough nut who is a fierce competitor, tackler and wins the footy. Would be a class above Terlich in our back 6. Maybe have a look if others pass him by.

What Matt Thomas have you seen play? No way is a class above Terlich.

He's a midfield stoppage specialist who could also play or rest as a defensive forward. Not athletic or skilled enough for the backline that's for sure.

He'd provided a boost to the midfield and do Rodan's role as a clearance winner and mature body. Would take the pressure off Viney and let Sylvia play more half forward where he belongs.

I'd be all for him as a short term measure.

Absolute tough nut and a great leader. I hope we sniff him out but I believe Richmond will most likely snare him.

Why Richmond?

Roos and his coaching staff would have already considered many OOC and Delisted players who he thought could make our team better

It is exactly why Daniel Cross is now a Demon

I would also consider that they have already looked at the viability of Scott Waters for example

Many of us look at every opportunity based on pure hope

Roos will be far more decisive than that

Don't even consider Watters, horrid coach.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.
