Nathan Hrovat will be a Demon this trade period. 3 year deal @ 300k per Source - Board member of one of the clubs involved (not MFC)

I like! Hope your source is good HH.

 

All of a sudden HH has board members coming out of his wazoo! Said the same in the Dangerfield thread.

And the Adcock thread.

Clearly the destination club now. lol.

HH obviously had Barrett like sources. Just make enough plausible deals up and surely at least one will be true!

Judging by the different font I'm guessing he's copy and pasted it from somewhere, maybe the facebook trade rumours group.

I'd much prefer Hrovat to Melksham FWIW.

Waiting for a board member to confirm that Melksham will be a Dee...

Well spotted, has a slightly grey background to it.

I'd rather take a half eaten pack of Twisties than Milkman.

 

Technically speaking we're all members of a Demons "board". Myself personally, I'm also on the board of multiple clubs over at Big Footy.

Is it a silent H? As in row-vat. Seems awkward to pronounce. Other than that I'm keen.


Carey boy !!

Same class as Macrae. Viney will make something of him.

Also parade I believe

Really like this kid - this would be good get.

Agreed - though could be a very good get. But he's also rated highly at the Bulldogs, so some work to do.

Have read mutterings about salary cap pressure, so perhaps that'll help if the deal is right. If it's possible, this is one that could depend on other trades, especially Stef Martin. If he gets to Footscray, which is what's being discussed, they may have to make some space in their cap.

But as always at this time of the year ... who knows what's really going on. Perhaps we'll do next to nothing all trade period and land O'Meara on the last day.

If we're offering Melksham 1.6 over 4, i'm assuming the offer to Hrovat is 9.8mill over 7 years...

Its funny - on two different pages on facebook one guy with 'inside sources'said this guy had issues with McCartney then the next page a guy said the opposite.

I dont doubt hh's sources because in my walk of life in the last five years independently ive come in to contact with the best mate if an mfc player, the cousin of an mfc listed player and ive known other people with loose connections for a while.

Problem is what is let slip to you is often flavoured by misconceptions, old info and opinion ive found.

I don't rate Hrovat. His in the same pile as Michie Newton and Riley for me.

well those two werent ever rated nearly as high as he is..

Techinically it's a harsh 'H' - like the Scottish 'ch' (e.g. Loch Ness). It's an archaic/alternative spelling of 'Croat'.

Most commentators use a regular English 'H'. As for how the man himself pronounces it, dunno. I guess we wait for the inevitable question from Burgo in his first interview (if we recruit him).

I'd much prefer 6 - 9 list changes, so I think we could fit both of them into our list.

Hopefully he doesn't full asleep by the time Burgo finishes the question and we can all find out.

  • 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.

  • 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.
