I wouldn't call Redden a big fish but he's certainly legal size and then some. All talk surrounding him has gone a little quiet over the past week. Redden, Melksham and Bugg would be a considerable improvement to our midfield stocks in a "quiet trade year".

Our big fish is Dion Prestia at the end of 2016. Assuming we are still looking better than GC then.

It's go a long way to run AF. How many of these trades are done within the last few days and hours?

There's always the internet. ;)

Bernie Vince?

Two years ago. Last year, there was talk about a big fish all off season and then nothing.

Yeah but I am pretty sure that what was rumoured at the time was true - that we had something big cooking but it all fell apart when Trengove failed that medical. Remeber we had a spare pick 3 also

This time we have pick 6, Howe, Toumpas and god knows who else they might sacrifice for the greater good

I am not writing off Roosy just yet

Glad I'm off to London this week, because I couldn't be bothered sitting through another trade week without landing anyone decent.

I've lived overseas for a long time, and can assure you that no matter where you are, having an internet connection makes it very difficult to hide from the disappointment.

I'm just saying I'd prefer not to wait. I arrive back in the country after trade week is over, so less [censored]-teasing for me and just the real news at the end of it all.

Haha, I'll probably check in to Demonland each day anyway. :P

There will be no big fish this year I think, however next year Wingard is out of contract and if we could get him I'd lose my [censored]!

He won't leave PA. From memory he made it clear that if he was drafted by a club outside SA that he would return home when his contract was up.

Thanks for smashing my dreams.

I notice O Wines contract end 2016, he also fits the profile of 21-24 and competitive. Imagine if we pulled him out from under PA's noses.

Pipe dream I know but.......?

Apologies if someone has brought this up already, but I am sure some one will disabuse me of this dream nonetheless. Have at it D'Landers! Have at it!

Perhaps as often happens in fishing...the big one....got away !! :rolleyes:

I think it's time that the big fish is one or all of:

Hogan

Petracca

Brayshaw

Salem

Surely? One of them? Please.

Not going to lie; every time I read those names together, I get extremely excited.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
