Jack Frost is out of contract. If we're trading out Dunn & Garland, then we would need depth upgrade? He would still be a strong defender in the 22 though, injury free. Continuing on with the sibling topic..

Reported yesterday on possible trade for Salem. Not sure if it has been reported elsewhere on Demonland. I hope there is nothing in this.

AFL Trade Rumours: Darling, Salem and Clarke

About as credible as the AFL Trade Whisperer. People create AFL Trade websites and twitter accounts and post some carp, knowing that there are many people out there that need their fix of trade rumours. I should know, I'm one of them.

I don't rate Salem as highly as others here, but if it's to get Todd Marshall I'll spew. Luckily this site is just making up crap.

Wouldn't like it to happen but if a club was to offer a first rounder for Christian I think the club would have to think very hard on it. I love his run and delivery, I guess I do have question marks on his ability to play out a full season and his hunger for the contest. Still, can't see this one happening

It may be the clubs ticket to getting back into the first round this season. Perhaps they see Salem as expendable with Hunt, Melksham, Hibbert and Wagner all capable half backs.

Salem has far more talent than those three, although Hunt offers a point of difference. How bout we trade Melksham instead.

Yeah, I don't see getting back into the first round as being as critical as some on this site seem to. We have our first rounder from this draft and we got him last year and put a year of development into him. Since he is a tall, that was a brilliant move as they typically need far more time to develop. I would rather not see us trading out potentially high end talent that we have put time into for a punt on something new, unless we don't think they will develop further. I don't think that is the case with Salem, I see all sorts of upside when he puts it all together. The thyroid issue is the only thing that bothers me and I'm sure our medical staff are all over that.

Not interested in trading Salem at all. His worth would probably be outside the first round due to the lack of continuity in his career so far, and he has already shown he will be a very good player if he stays on the park.

Exactly, however I would like to see salem play further up the ground and through the midfield. We have some really great half back options and you can even throw in Frosty in that list. But if we have the ability to snap up another potential key position player with this trade then this whole trade period could become interesting with the jesse movement etc. However I'm not interested on restarting with our key positions and putting another 2-3 years into them before they are AFL quality

Why are people surprised re salem? Ive expected him out this year since about round 20. We are lacking currency to make moves and here we have a top 10 pick with obvious quality but injury and occassional form concerns. 

If he was playing for GWS and we were chasing we'd be saying its a done deal.

I'd be surprised.  Salem is exactly the type of high skilled mid we need more of.

In fact, calling it now, will not happen.

My exact thoughts, we have a lot of grunt and developing pace but we lack in the highly skilled area. I think Salem is the right type of player to put development and faith in as I can see him changing games in years to come

We've also been linked to Tom Cutler, who seems a likely type and many Brisbane supporters rate in their best 22.  If we can orchestrate a trade of Dunn for Cutler we should make out like bandits.  Josh Watts and Tom Lamb are likely to come pretty cheaply/free.  

I think Goodwin's priority will be locking in Hogan and the rest of our young guns rather than trying to attract any other name players (Hibberd aside).

You are kidding ?? One man will not control our destiny!! Particularly one with a "Dodgy" kicking action!! 

Nup, trade up and ultra agressively!! No one but no one should be beyond trade!

If we get the mix right AKA Western Bulldogs , we too can win premierships! IMV

Do you think we might look at trading your love child Clarrie Chew Chew then picket?

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
