in Melbourne Demons

Adding to that there's roughly 5 quality KPP players this year that will most likely go top 15 with the possibility of two of them going within the first couple of picks. Leaving us with a quality midfielder. Our last two drafts have good.

Aren't we on track for pick 5?

I'm not sure they're quality KPP's 'Al', they are certainly the better players in this years crop.

I rated McCartin last year and I think he'll be ok but none of this years crop of talls have really grabbed me, admittedly on limited viewing.

    Most of the senior contract players don't get match payments, they are paid a salary of x weather they play or not. Fairly sure the bonuses also come under a different banner as the cap has two levels, one for the salaries and a slightly higher total for the 'extras'.

    All players get match payments, it's in their CBA. From what I can find, all players, plus injured players, get a match payment.

    according to terry Wallace both the lions and blues are looking at compensation picks straight after their first picks for loosing luenberg and kruezer which would slide us down to pick 9

    Fair call, we won't know for a few years after the fact. My mate who's involved at TAC level is a big wrap for Kieran Collins.

    I'm hoping what plays into our favour is that as we know KPP are a gamble but one that clubs are forced to take. Carlton and Brisbane will hopefully go tall.

    I hadn't even thought of that. We can't complain we got the double last year.

    We done well with Salem, hopefully we can find another.

    Well we would like something of worth in return.

    well if the $uns win Lynch this end of season, we would want Prestia in the return bout, shirley ?

    but maybe this EoS, we could try to grab an O'Meara ?

    Would we trade...

    Howe to Lions for Tom Cutler or their pick 21 (their 2nd round).

    Howe to Giants for Adam Tomlinson or their pick 28 (their 2nd round).

    Howe to Suns for Trent Mckenzie or pick 23 (their 2nd round).

    Who the $&@& is Tom Cutler?

  • Quote

    So potentially the lions could get pick 2 for Leuenberger?

    Frawley was a joke for pick 3 but my god no one could defend that!

  • Quote

    I think we are looking at recruiting Plowman as half back who can roll into a midfielder liked David Mundy.

    This is a big reason why Todd Viney is a big fan of him.

    He is a keen Melbourne supporter too.... i know.. doesn't mean anything.

    I like this idea, replacement for garland.

    We'd want his preferred destination to be a northern state where he has more value, and I pick him as being the sort of bogan who likes the sounds of QLD.

    I think some are overrating the value of pick 6, in this draft especially.

    I'm particularly unenthused about the options this year.

    So now he is a bogan???

    Good Lord Some people speak drivel

    I have put his stats up before.....I would hate to lose him.

    that may be a good nickname if he decides to stay with the Dees

    I agree on Collins, I think he'll be one to surprise being picked early, or in years to come we will ask how he lasted so long in the draft.

    But I also rate Plowman and Tomlinson more than most, obviously.

    They are about the right age to begin hitting their straps, like Tyson did for us pre-injury.

    Pick 2 for an injury prone ruckman that has never even sniffed the AA team.. would be a disgrace

    Do you want all of our players to leave?

    Imagine if someone said that to you at your work? You'd be out the door like a shot..

    Welll its just a suggestion but No

    Id be inclined to make sure I earned every cent but I always did that.

    I was also on comparatively smaller salaries where every dollar counted.

    and I would not be losing anything for lack of performance.

    I do sometimes think entertainers are overpaid and dont value the earnings as much.

    Not for those draft picks especially when Gold Coast offered pick 6 last year.

    Howe has devalued to a 2nd round choice. His 2015 has been poor.

    Would be lucky to get that

  • Quote

    Plowman for Howe would be good ...

    Great.....You would swap a 100 gamer for a bloke who can't get on the park????

    Has played 19 games and kicked 1 goal.....Has played a lot in the Giants seconds side which is a crap competition.

    Haven't we learned that just because you are picked at No 3 in the draft, you must be better.

    Talk about the other side always being greener.

    Dom Tyson had played just 13 AFL games when we got him

    Just sayin'

    I still think to the right side Howe will get us a decent return.

    Might still get a first round offer. If it wasn't for a failed medical, Richmond was prepared to part with pick 12 last year for Trengove who hadn't played a good game since 2011 and was barely on the park at all last year.

    • 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?

      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.
