I'm surprised that anyone could be so gullible to take any notice of this dribble, but I shouldn't be after what I read from so called Melbourne supporters in other threads.

Nice first post Gut!

    Its a good idea, should also Tommy mac, Kent, Garland, Dawes and Howe to that list. Need a huge turn over.

    Welcome to Demonland, you'll fit right in

    We need guys like Trengove to be leading our recovery, not to trade them off in a fire sale. We should't be too quick to forget his decision to sign on shortly after the 186 debacle in an immense show of faith. Something that is obviously lacking at present. Grimes probably needs to be demoted to VC to let him focus on his own game, but he also need to be kept for the same reasons. As if Roos would trade a Grimes type player after criticising the decision to delist Brad Miller...the rot began when Melbourne starting offloading its respected senior players before their time, surely the same mistake can't be made again?

    I thought Roos was about building culture? Jackson has discussed about importance of the feel in the locker room? Losing faith by the second.

    Is this a serious post? What sort of culture exists WITH these players?

    This is utter, complete bollocks. When there is no leadership and few mature players at the club, what possible benefit could be gained by bringing in five or six new players and trading out the captain and immediate past captain, amogst others.

    Complete [censored] stirring and will put us back another 5-10 years.

    I agree that It's probably not true, but I don't think it's such a bad idea

    a trade might be the best thing for Watts and MFC

    Grimes can't kick, can't have your leaders making basic skill errors consistently

    Trengove and Toumpas would want to show something in 2015 or I doubt either will be at the club after that

    I think this is straight out of WC.

    Trying to add to the instability and hold a strong % as they play for 8th spot.

    I think they may just do it.

    We need to turnover 20 players. We ll delist about 10, if we can trade off another 10 or so it ll help towards getting rid of this culture.

    I'm glad you have nothing to do with our list management.

    The sad thing is there is no player at the club that we would be devastated to lose ( possible exception of Hogan who hasn't played yet.)

    Our best are mediocre and there is no one to make you excited to go to the footy and see. Even Howe doesn't take hangers any more.

    We desperately need flare and dash not only for the fans but it lifts the team as well.

    Looking at the thread title, I was thinking did we actually get 3 inside 20 m last week.

    Then I realized that with a score of 3 goals 16 behinds we must have had at least 19 inside 20s :-(((((((((()((

    We are basically bottom of the table for 8th yr straight with players who cant kick, chase, even talk with the worst culture in the league. We need to turn over as much as possible and start from basically scratch.

    We need to leave no stone unturned or be reserved and over protective of our players. If we can get like for like swaps we should take em as the player coming in wont be mentally scarred.

    It is an absolutely terrible idea.

    Grimes is our captain. How do you think trading him would go down in the playing group?

    Trengove and Toumpas have absolutely zero trade value and all the upside in the world. And both have made very public commitments to the club (Toumpas this week and Trengove after 186). How do you think trading them would go down?

    It is just pure idiocy and clearly, clearly has no basis in fact.

    Who cares about the playing group if half of them are gonna be turned over. They should have played better if they didnt want this to happen. They can man up and get on with it

    I would be devastated to lose either Gawn or Jones. More than Hogan probably

    • 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.
