Aish for Dawes, they need a forward target. Dawes is a target, not a very good one but they may struggle to get anyone else.

Prestia for pick and Grimes.

This isn't the 90's and Brisbane aren't Fremantle.

Sure, if we can get away with it. Aish is a footballers footballer.

    I'd be really happy if Aish was our second target midfielder.

    Wouldn't be as happy if he was our first target, ahead of the likes of Prestia or Coniglio or Sloane.

    Is it too greedy to want Aish AND Prestia?? Or do we not have enough to give to get both?

    I want both too. I don't think it's too greedy at all. Aish is struggling to cement his place at Brisbane. He shouldn't be our first target. We need to go hard for A graders/cusp of A grade at the end of this year. Prestia and Coniglio are the go for mine too.

    As you note, it's all about whether we have enough to get them both.

    Money of trade value?

    Definitely trade value. For each, we'd need a high pick and a very very good player, or at the very least a good player who meets a desperate need.

    Do GCS or Brisbane need a versatile reliable defender, a specie merchant or a tall forward with iron hands???

    Certainly pass on him now.

    I passed on him about 5 or 6 years back, when he was doing his accounting literature tour. we couldn't afford him then, & we d=certainly don't want him now.

    I would have passed on him, if i happened to pass him by on the street, as well... :mad: well maybe not, but you get my gist ;)

    Would anyone consider Brendon Mateara? I have always rated him and i just feel that with Kent going down we have really missed the zip and explosiveness that he provides. Kicked 27 goals in 2013 so atleast we know he can kick goals.

    Not really. Decent finisher, but doesn't provide anything else. Think he only has eyes on the goals as well so unless he kicks it, all you're getting is a turnover.

    Gone... m jones, terlich, mckenzie, fitzpatrick, bail & hunt (not developed).

    retire... jamar

    Thats 7 spots.

    draft 4 (Harley Balic),22 (Sam Weideman),38 (Blake Hardwick),trade in Dean Towers (Sydney for pick 56), free agent Leuenberger and rookie upgrade for Harmes and Vandenburg. King stays for yr3 as interstate rookie.

    We should approach Zaha with a nice offer, surely he can be enticed out of that moral [censored] hole that is the drugs

    Gifted but bad attitude

    Well someone should have been held accountable for not picking up Oxley as it cost us the game. Roos said the players didn't follow instructions so it seems he has been let off IF he was the spare but that's irrelevant as to wether we should target Aish or not.

    You keep getting gazumped you idiot. Just stfu now.

    Along with Bennell, apparently one of the GCS players for whom football gets in the way of having a good time.

    Same could've been said about Garlett.

    Could be but Garlett's attitude doesn't affect his training and getting his body prepared

  • Quote

    I don't think there are any issues with Garlett's attitude. I may be wrong but the only thing I remember him being involved in off field is the recent indecent where he was the one who was attacked, he seems pretty committed to his family.

    Iv been saying we should trade Watts for years but last week seeing him play changed the way I think about him.

    I think he is the biggest game changer our team has. Some of the things he did last week to turn the swing of the game were amazing, no one else in our team has that IQ and talent.

    No one else in our team can swing a game around like Watts can when he is on

    As to those paying out on Dawes I think it's a bit harsh, the guy works hard and definitely gave us something when we wernt doing too well under the Neeld regime.

    That said I think he does have value and now would be a good time to see if we could get anything back for him in a younger player which fits our age demographic better.

    • 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.
