I dont see us chasing a player like Fyfe, more develop from within and gain Tyson like deals

Chasing Mundy wouldn't surprise me though

    I'd go after Rockliff again. We'll probably have pick 3 to offer and after the year they're having he may request a trade - if we offer him enough.

    That'd be like Jones requesting a trade because we were rubbish. He's their Vice captain and extended a few months ago until 2017.

    Rivers...Moloney....being the VC doesn't mean much.

    Mundy will be 29 next year, just doesn't make sense to go after him imo. We should go hard to trade for Fyfe this year. When that fails we should be looking at Dangerfield who's a free agent next year. Probably not much chance with either but while we have Roos & Jackson at the club we should be having a go.

    Once again, let's all remember that it wasn't Tyson & Salem JUST for Kelly. It was for Kelly and pick 20 and it certainly appears that there has been some very good players available at Pick 20.

    Let's just wait and see.

    OK BB. Make it easy for us morons.. Go through the club lists of 25 - 27yo mid fielders that you think can help us.

    No pressure but If anyone can, you can.

    Being contracted for the next 3 years does though.

    I think if we can win 8 games or more, we'll be a very attractive proposition for season 2015. That'd help us lure that next tier of quality players. Last off season, Roos' mere standing in the game landed us Vince. An aging, but very good B grade mid. With everything behind us this year, we should be able to target A graders and they'll seriously consider a move to Melbourne.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
