Trade Radio reporting that Melksham will be a done deal for our second round pick (hope we are getting something else in this deal). Also reporting that Ben Kennedy to the Dees will be a done deal, not mentioning any picks etc.

 

Cool i want to see someone in our colours by 4.45 as ive had a lot of coffee today...
 

Surely that's overs

Depends on how you look at it ;)


just on trade radio Dodoro confirming that Melksham to melbourne for our 2nd round pick

This just feels too much for me.

R we being ripped off or is it fair?
 

Never got a decent trade from Scum since Ray Smith.

Only comfort I draw from Milkshake is the way Roos re- ignited Teddy Richards' career.

Edit: Ben*

There's that sinking feeling in the chest. A second rounder.

[censored] I hope Goody knows what he's doing.


Given the inside knowledge on Melksham that both Goodwin and McCartney have, I'll back them to make this deal good for us.

But they are not allowed to discuss game plans and they come to Mums' in different colored T-Shirts.

They switch ends of the table 4 times a roast.

We should have traded our second round pick from Port Adelaide (for Toumpas)! I agree it seems like overs to me!


Mahoney just confirmed 2nd round pick looks to be around the mark for Melksham.

Edited by juzzk1d

If a second round pick is the going rate for Melksham, we should be demanding a mid first round pick for Howe.

I can't see how effectively swapping Melksham for Howe improves our list, particularly if the talk of a four year deal at $400K per is correct.

It sounds like overs to me, but only because his form the last two seasons stinks

Why trade for him when we could just take him in the PSD?

Good question. I don't understand why we or anyone owe drugs inc any kind of professional courtesy when they have projectile shat over this competition for a couple of seasons now!


Why trade for him when we could just take him in the PSD?

Because there are other clubs that have psd picks before us.

Is he under contract at Ess?

Slightly overs, think we need to move on.

Getting the deal done early allows us to focus on other possibilities. Pick 23 will probably look like 25 or 26 by the time bid-matching and FA compensation picks are allocated, which is about the range the talent would have started to drop off. It's right in the range where clubs are dubious about the depth of the pool.

He's not under contract, and nobody else seems to be interested in him. This just doesn't make much sense to me.

 

Was passing a store just now, they had this on. Thought I heard Howe is definitely gone, didn't hear any more.

The funny thing is a lot of us were unhappy giving up pick 23 for Frost.

The Roos mantra has always been that draft picks are speculative and it is often better to take a known commodity. Something our club did not do in the past...

  • 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.
