How is this thread hanging around? Adcock has been awful for a few years now. He is one of Brisbane fans' main whipping boys.

    F##k no! Anyone saying yes obviously hasn't watched him over the past 2 years in particular this season, was shocked he is only 29, plays like a 35 year old. He has been a servicable player through his career at best..

    Delete this thread its embarrassing

    I was against him at the start but with Cross gone I would take him. Just watching him break from the half back take about 4 bounces and drill a long goal.

    Maybe if he came on board he could release Salem into the midfield. Would add leadership and experience in our back half.

    Not the worst and we need some experience. Interesting to see who we target.

    Why get rid of Cross and then get Adcock. Would be a real insult to Daniel Cross. I know that they said to Cross that it's time to back the next generation in, so recruiting another veteran would be bonkers.

    Half the player though. Very patchy form, regularly disappears from entire games throughout the season.

    As soon as I saw the questionable Cross delisting, I had a feeling Adcock would come into play. We're a leaderless team on-field and Roos hopes for Cross to remain at the club in a development role, but ultimately you can't carry Cross AND Adcock on your senior list.

    Get Adcock in for nothing, keep Cross around at training developing our kids and setting the standards, it's a win-win. Plus, we get the leadership of Brisbane's former captain who will be desperate to prove Brisbane wrong.

    Some seem to be getting a bit overwhelmed with Adcock playing a good last game.

    He's been below average this season and averaging just 12 disposals. I don't care how cheap he comes, if we want to get out of the position we're in we have to aim higher than Adcock.

    You wouldn't take him in the twos to help Casey? If the club had any intention of taking the risk on Adcock (who will cost us nothing), they'd rightfully let Cross go as you can't carry two players of this sort on a senior list.

    Why would we pick someone up and let them take up a spot on our list with the intention of playing them at Casey?

    If it's for depth when we're players down I still think we could do better. He offered very little this season.

    Much prefer Nathan Wilson, Zac Williams, Curtly Hampton, Trent McKenzie, Paul Seedsman, Aaron Mullett, Tom Cutler, etc.

    I haven't seen enough of him this year to comment. But if we did pick him up to play on the back flank shouldn't we keep Salem on the other. Who's our other options to play there?

    I don't know much about Jed but I'm not sure how you can refer to any former club captain who has had 21 possessions, kicked 4.2 and was nominated as BOG in his most recent game as rubbish.

    Then don't comment if you don't know much about your mate 'Jed'...he's cooked.

    Don't be a disrespectful [censored] to a player who has had a great career. He might not offer us a lot going forward but he's obviously been better than you've given him credit for.

    And just quietly, I don't think many of our players would be capable of getting those stats in local footy, forget AFL footy.

    Blease kicked 5 goals in a game once.....

    Jed performed at a level for a period of time that was good enough to see him made club captain. I think he has Bleasey covered.

    But so many MFC players are exceeding performances like this... once every 2 years.

    • 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 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.
