Apart from Sizzle I don't really think the Dorks have much we need, given they'd want overs for anyone they trade out. Maybe Gunston, or young Burton looks good. Tom Mitchell won't go anywhere, neither will Roughy.

We got Lewis for a late pick. I'm happy with that from them.

    Yep, definitely need more small forwards who go missing when the going gets tough. Soon we'll have a whole list full of them. Next.

    The guy has done the following:

    2012- 39 goals (regular season)

    2013- 37 goals

    2014- 53 goals

    2015- 45 goals

    2016- 43 goals

    2017- 9 goals (on track for 33 at 1.5 a game)

    If you don't think that would be handy for our side then you've got no idea.

    It's a mute point anyway as was discussed he has already re-signed.

    With clubs like the Swans and Hawks languishing down the bottom of the ladder there is a chance we might be able to pick up a handy player on the cheap.  Those clubs may look to refresh their lists and we could possibly be the beneficiaries of this.  Who are those players?  I have no idea, but I have no doubt the club will be monitoring the situation closely.

    My favourite bit of this was "I know he is a downhill skier, but he is genuinely good downhill skier". How good is it to be able to talk about guys who are downhill skiers and bringing them into the club rather than getting rid of them?????

    He is going to cost draft picks and the only way I want us using a draft pick on a trade this year is for a KPP, ready to go mid (e.g. Kelly, Whitfield, Hopper, Kennedy), or trading for a future 1st rounder. Now to find the next Hawthorn to trade with.....

    Personally... I would be looking at our 1st rounder for Isaac Smith...

    makes sense .. a variant on the GWS methodology

    Underscores how stagnant we have become that when we clean out our older players Dunn etc we have to give them away if not pay someone else.

    Hawks have given away their first and second round picks this year so definitely they'll be looking to trade back into the draft. They've done it before offloading players like Hay and scoring big time so they'll try to do it again.

    The main problem is their best are ageing. Hodge, Gibson even Roughy are last legs options. Besides Roughy should stay for sentiment if nothing else- he is a heart and soul character.

    Frawley? Ha ha.

    I don't want Cyril - great highlight reel but does not get enough of it. He is icing only. Age is catching him and Poppy too. Breust I'd have but as discussed is locked in.

    For mine that only leaves Gunston as a target. His kicking is off atm but he is a class act. Otherwise don't touch them.

    Not at 29 going on 30 next year...

    With Lewis as the precedent then maybe a pick in the 80's should do it.

    I'm keen but 1st round is a little too high.

    He will turn 29 at the end of the year and he relies on his pace so he's got a limited lifespan in the game.

    Our 2nd might be enough nearly be though.  Maybe plus ANB - there was some scuttle last year in the Lewis trade that he was in the Hawks sights.

    Looks like "free kick, Hawthorn" is lost from the lexicon. good.

    Yikes!!

    Forgot he was a mature-age recruit.

    Point taken.

    I'd look to Sydney personally surely they have ongoing salary cap pressure and underperforming is going to be difficult to manage. 

    Sam Reid?

    Has Mills re-signed? I know it's a long shot, but a young leader, hard, great user off half back, will eventually be able to roll into the midfield. If he is available, I'd offer him a 5-6 year deal and maybe a first rounder or two. Though maybe we have more pressing needs such as composure in the KPB position...

    Re-signed at Hawks to 2021 in March.

    Oooh, isn't Bruest normally the really accurate one?

    Kicked wide there!

    • 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.
