What
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Unfortunately I missed the dulcet tones of Terry Wallace

 

Did anyone hear Plough's mini review?

Yep, didn't say too much that we don't already know.

- Said Watts and Dawes are on the table and might be traded for the right deal

- Melbourne are into Melksham and Ben Kennedy

- We have trouble in appealing as a destination club for the big names.

Don't remember anything particularly noteworthy to be honest.

Did anyone hear Plough's mini review?

As expected it was pointless. Told us nothing.

But Josh Mahoney is about to be interviewed, so hopefully some juicy stuff coming.


Josh on now:

Melksham, done a lot of work on him, want run and curry. He has indicated that he wants to join Melbourne
 

Been in contact with Dorodo, they are on the same wavelength insofar as what a fair deal would be (he didn't say what that was)


Ben Kennedy monitired closely. Have spoken to him. One of a number of payers we have discussed.

No offer for Danger. Said 10 mill over 6 was ridiculous and disrespectful to playing list.

Interest in Thomas Bugg. Fits our profile.

Jeremy Howe, still a chance to stay on list. He is testing the market, there are a range of clubs that have a certain monetary value on him.

Jack Watts - Thinks he will still be a Melbourne, initial interest from other clubs but no follow ups.

Jimmy Toumpas- Thought he showed improvement, been hampered by injury, still thinks there is still in AFL player there, he thinks Jimmy may want to go home but is exploring opportunites

Dawes - Bit of a vague answer, but said that its other clubs that might be talking about this.

Aaron Black- No discussions with him

Josh on now:

Melksham, done a lot of work on him, want run and curry. He has indicated that he wants to join Melbourne

Perhaps we are looking to rookie an Indian or something.


Josh on now:

Well, the run does often follow the curry.

(Seriously, thanks for keeping the rest of us updated. Even if it is waffle)

Colin Garland - Very close to a deal, next few days will be announced.

Brief summary of what was said.

- Highlighted the clubs desire to bring in competitors

- Club has talked and made progress with both Melksham, Ben Kennedy . Didn't really talk about what the club will need to give up in exchange for them

- Nothing has been offered to Patrick Dangerfield.

- Bugg was noted as another option for the Dee's

- There is still a chance Howe will stay a Demon. Said decision time for Jeremy is approaching

- Watts and Dawes will most likely remain Demons.

- Toumpas is looking at other opportunities.

- Aaron Black was mentioned as an option by Barrett. The club has not yet considered him as an option

- Colin Garland should be re-signed over the next couple days.

Well, the run does often follow the curry.

(Seriously, thanks for keeping the rest of us updated. Even if it is waffle)

Reading between the lines.

Interest in Howe from others (multiple) I think gone.

No interest in Watts

Active in chasing Freeman and Bugg

Very active in chasing everyone, but every club is

Toump all but gone, he wants out but club see potential and would keep him

Garland to be announced as staying in coming days.


Josh on now:

Melksham, done a lot of work on him, want run and curry. He has indicated that he wants to join Melbourne

Quite often Curry can lead to extra run out of the back line

Edited by Old Man Rivers

With Aaron Black, they said that they havent considered him yet. But they are looking at someone to assist Jesse Hogan

Reading between the lines.

Interest in Howe from others (multiple) I think gone.

No interest in Watts

Active in chasing Freeman and Bugg

Very active in chasing everyone, but every club is

Toump all but gone, he wants out but club see potential and would keep him

Garland to be announced as staying in coming days.

Chris, just to clarify, do you mean Howe is gone or the interest in him from others has disappeared?

 

Reading between the lines (my own interpretation):

Melksham will be a Demon in 2016

Kennedy and Bugg quite likely to be at the club also

Watts is staying

Howe is likely to go

Toumpas no certainty to go, looking elsewhere but club hasn't lost faith

Garland is staying (announcement soon)

Hogan - Club vision presented to him by Roos and Goodwin. if we can extend him soon, it would be great.

  • 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.
