Harmes and King have been on the rookie list for the last 2 yrs,perhaps the club needs to take a chance on one of them. An upgrad is possilble due to long term injuries to Petracca and Trengove. Vander got an update to from rookie list to seniors. Nothing ventured is

nothing gained. I hate to see long term rookies ( > 2yrs), train and develop them.

    Well Rory Sloane re-signed after his parents moved back from Adelaide to Upwey.

    Well done Adelaide, I guess. Bad luck Saints and Dees who both had claims.

    I thought he was gone.

    There goes one of my hopes. Maybe we can shake something loose out of the Swans , GWS or Suns. Pick 4 or 5 should be a handy start .

    Will be interesting to see whether the new F/S and academy rules shake out similar quality players from the Swans, GWS or Bris, or will it be smoke and mirrors by the AFL giving an appearance that they are not providing another leg up to the rugby stronghold states.

    Speaking of f/s. What point penalty would we get for Lovett.

    He shouldn't cost too much. Currently tipped to go late in the draft as it is, and it would be odd for anyone to bid overs for him.

    His father became a great player for us, but it was after he was 21 he started showing ability. His son may be in the same mould.

    Rumour flying around at work that a victorian team that isn't richmond or geelong has offered danger a buddy like deal.

    Gotta pay someone.

    They were talking about Collingwood on SEN. The plan being, Swan out, Dangermouse in, on maybe twice as much as Pendles.

    Great recipe for instability, I sincerely hope they go for it.

    When is it time to get in Swan's ear?

  • Quote

    He left the crows did he?

    It's this difference between "resigns" and "re-signs". Where's the hyphen, people??!!

    In Sloane's case, unfortunately the latter.

    Collingwood have the cap room for Dangerfield, their list management had been clever the past few seasons and I'm sure if Swanny is done the pies could strike a deal with 800k+ per season.

    Hawthorn simply cannot have the cap room for a top tier free agent.

    Apparently Aaron Black is disgruntled at the Roos and may request a trade back to Freo - if he was looking for more game time is he worth a look as a 3rd forward type for us? Maybe we try and convince him to come over with the promise of more game time... or is he just another guy like Dawes who shows a bit in the shop window without there being much behind it?

    Black is a good player

    That'd be crazy. Pendles is more valuable than Dangerfield (as good as he is).

    You're right in it being a recipe for instability I reckon.

    We thought the same at Sydney with Buddy but it hasn't really happened.

    The Pies have lost Beams and have Swan in his later years so may make some sense to have a go at Danger. I think Pendles would have to be up on similar money though.

  • Quote

    I think it was a little different with Buddy. Bringing in the best key forward in the competition on huge money is a little different than brining in a star midfielder, especially when you already have one in Pendles.

    Sure, Sydney had Tippett, but we all know Buddy is better.

  • Quote

    Does bringing in great players on great money ever really cause instability? I've heard supporters use that line often, but I can't recall any evidence of that happening in my lifetime.

    I would have thought in the professional era, most players would look past the envy of the big income earners and would be quite happy to have a superstar added to their side to enhance their flag chances.

    I suppose when you start winning it mitigates the envy issue somewhat.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
