Wish we drafted him back in the day, that draft will go down as a super draft with him, Truck, Gus, Heeney and going to fruition.

Cant remember the draft order, but who would you not have drafted in his stead?

    Didn't we have lever penciled in with the pick from Richmond for trengove before the doctor stuffed us, I know Roos really rated him

    Why bother chasing a (soon to be) All Australian defender when we already have one.

     

    Put Tom McDonald back to the backline and instead of going after Lever go and get Patton/Lobb.

     

    Jetta OMac Frost

    Hibberd TMac Hunt

    Brayshaw Jones Vince

    Petracca Hogan Melksham

    Garlett Patton/Lobb Watts

    Gawn Oliver Viney

     

    Lewis Hannan Salem Tyson

     

     

    Looks ok to me...

    We have a good trade history with GWS, only think is it won't come cheap. Have to be realistic can't offer Pederson for either of them.

     

    Weideman and a late first round pick?

     

    Weed will be a dynamite forward in years 2 come bad trade. The computer says no.

    Yep, kid is a footballer. Skinny and sorta uncoordinated now, but give him 2 years and he will be kicking more goals than Jesse.

    Clearly we need Lever.

    Frost and O-Mac in tandem are as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

    Yes, he would be more than handy. Understatement...

    I can't see Frost being in the future plans apart from being a depth player or maybe trade value.

    O-Mac does have some upside though.

    Not sure why Adelaide would be interest in either Watts or the Weid noting they already have Walker, JJ, Lynch and McGovern (maybe short term) loitering around in there forward line and Otten who swings around there.

    There backline would need more support which increases the value on Oscar/Frost but I still think there priorities would be for high quality mids. 

    I still think a local like an ANB might be used along with a first round pick in exchange for Lever and some pick in change. You have to spend big to get the talent and personally I think the kids going to be a star.

    Would be massive for us to get this done

    Can see that happening. I like it.

    Maybe Carlton can be lured by more ex-GWS players in any of Tyson, Bugg or Frost + a pick.

    Yep, would be an awfully raw deal. Maybe trade up somehow and get a higher pick to send along with *Insert fringe player* and they may listen.

    If Gibbs goes to Crows at 29 before next season, I wonder what his value is.

    What worries me about that deal, is that Carlton will go for Lever themselves.

    I am told they are into Kelly up to their eyeballs.

    What about JKH to carlton? They wanted him a couple years ago, plus a pick.

    Gibbs to Adelaide, Lever to Melbourne, our first rounder this year and a second rounder next year to the Blues.  They won't be interested in any of our players, and we won't offer the ones they will have interest in.  Maybe the Crows chuck in a second rounder of some sort as well to go to the Blues.  Carlton wanted two first rounders last year, so one first rounder and two seconds might get the job done.

    You value Gibbs highly.

    Be interesting to see how much currency Gibbs and Gaz have at their respective ages.

    I have faith our pitch to him would of been well done. Can only hope he does choose to come to us. As for what picks and or who I'm sure the club have pretty much already figured out the options and also have solid faith it will be worth it.

    If he doesn't come, at least it's a good sign players want to meet with us and are linked with us. Especially the most sought after.
    Lever would be the biggest coup the club has had in my time anyway.

    OMac is a good player. It's only your stubbornness that prevents you from seeing it now. 

    Agree with you on Frost.

    Frost plays like a headless chook on speed

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
