Fire up, TK!

What about showing the same passion in supporting your own club?

Hypocrite.

None more than passionate than me [censored].

    Who would you rather as depth, Adcock or McKenzie? Both will cost the same. Who provides more leadership, skill, experience, etc.?

    We're hardly a destination club with the ability to get Dangerfield, Treloar, Motlop, etc. All we can do is keep replacing our second-tier players with better ones, until the draftees kick into gear and we finally climb the ladder.

    You resort to personal abuse....lowest form of communication from someone who is flustered because they have no recourse to debate.

    Jed Adcock is a 30 year old, slow, inconsistent, cooked player - he will take up a spot on our list (if he comes) that could go to enlist another Vanders, or Harmes, or a White.

    I want the list to improve too.....but someone who will impact, not gather coin to play for Casey.

    It's possible the club hasn't identified another Vanders this draft and, based on our last month, are happier to bring in more experienced players for free at the same time as going to the draft.

    Neither.

    There's a new feel around our draftees....they're coming along nicely.

    We can't magically invent extra draft picks though. All we get is pick 5, 23, 41, 59, 77, etc. Realistically that's only 3 quality draftees when we're looking at 8-10 delistings of our current list.

    Where exactly do you propose the better replacements come from? Adcock might only be a 1 year solution to a 5 year problem at our club, but he's still more of a solution than the likes of Terlich and McKenzie.

    Says the bloke who refered to an AFL player as rubbish. I'm not suggesting we draft him. I just found your post appalling disrespectful.

    I don't believe that 8-10 will go...

    Every draft springs a surprise.

    I don't mind the principle of bringing in a mature age footballer (like Crossy) but not one that's really, really, cooked, ala Adcock.

    The thought of drafting him is rubbish, this thread is rubbish.

    I promise to resort to more narrative to satiate your sensibilities.

    Not against taking Adcock, but dependent on if we land a big fish or not. If we get a big fish then it's a yes for me as we'll have less currency to bring in other good foot soldiers.

    If there's no big fish to be landed, then we should have enough currency to find better options.

    The Extension has been a fine player, but it would be moronic to recruit him.

    And we won't.

    Did anyone see his four goal game against the Bulldogs on the weekend? He is only 29 (30 next year). Change of scenery and a point to prove.

    Lions supporters are furious he didn't get another year. If it's a shallow draft - definitely wouldn't rule out..

    I saw half of that game and gee Adcock looked good. Clean hands, good kick, knows where to run to. Has another two years in him looking at that game. Caveats are that the game was very open and attacking, not a typical match and do we have his role covered already as a smaller half forward, midfielder as in Garlett, JKH, Kent, ANB, Brayshaw etc?

    Bigger fan of this then Melksham....

  • Quote

    Adcock and Melksham fill completely different list needs. Why, when two completely different players at different ages and games experience come up to posters say I'd rather 'player x than player y'? How is it that hard to understand?

    It's clear we're still short of quality and professional senior leaders. Given that Cross has been moved on, Adcock could be a handy addition for a year or two.

    We still need the right senior players to lead the way for this young core group of future stars. Part of developing them to their full potential is to have some really strong personalities on the playing list. Cross has been monumental for Players like Viney, Brayshaw and Petracca in the knowledge his passed on. We need more of it.

    If he is our Cross for the next 2-3 years then that is ok. HL certainly won't be.

  • Quote

    Not opposed to getting him, he'll be coming to us for nothing, but we would have to have in mind a clear purpose of why we're getting him. Is he depth? Is he designed to be best 22 for 1-2 years while we develop our younger players? Is he there as leadership coverage?

    He played a brilliant game v Bulldogs so he's still got something left in the tank but for both player and club we would need a clear purpose and plan before signing him.

    Without knowing too much about him is he quick, medium paced, or slow. He are in desperate need of speed, I think that was one of the reasons we moved Crossy on, so if he is another plodder then it's a no from me.

    • 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.
