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 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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
