Out of contract at the end of this season and Demons rated him (allegedly) higher than Josh Kelly in the 2013 draft. Has played 62 games and is having a breakout season. Could fill that skillful outside role as well as having the ability to go forward and hit the scoreboard. Would cost a lot and I can't actually see him leaving the Saints this year, but for mine is definitely worth the discussion.

    Also can't see him leaving but he'd be a great addition. I'd rather Lever though.

    Excellent proposal. It would be tough indeed. Certainly worth the discussion. Should also come at a lower cost than that rumoured for Kelly.

    Grew up as an Essendon supporter (assumption based on his father's team) so I could image that he might consider there first.

    Trade Tyson and Salem for him ;)

    In all seriousness, I think he would frustrate the hell out of us. Having a great season but for a good kick always misses when going for goal.

    Yup his finishing is terrible

    Hes kicked 20 goals 32 behinds this season. And god knows how many missed everything or fell short.

    I think he could fill the very valuable role Petracca/Melks type role on our forward flank nicely at the very least! Of course its all what we give and wants the come.
    As mentioned our recruiters rate him highly so would not be surprised if he ends up being our big get.

    Still young,  will be a quality midfielder in time. Has great skills so it's very strange his goal kicking is so bad. One-eyed jack could be forgiven for missing on the weekend. 

    Id go after him hard. Although saints lack class so they'd be crazy to let him go

    Not for me. Chip-scab possessions. Little hurt factor. Had a great last two weeks but has been ordinary for large parts of this year.

    Want my outside mids to be line breakers with genuine toe. Prefer likes of Kelly and Whitfield if giving out first round picks.

    Lever will cost 2 first rounders. Saints won't be asking for much less for Billings

    Serious consideration...

    Salem must be a little shaky with his form/injuries and bad report from last week

    Trade month is gonna be great this year if we make September. 

    Players will love to play at The G when it is full of Red and Blue Demons

    the Northern side of the G was chockers last sunday

    People really think this is a factor? And you are guessing based on his Dad's team?

    Seriously.

    It's worked in Collingwood's favour many times. Certainly it has been a long time since people chose to go to Collingwood to secure a Premiership!

    There's probably a Clayton Oliver thread on the Saints board too ...

    It does explain why Judd, Franklin and Pendlebury were all so keen to come to Melbourne.

    If Oliver is out of contract this late in the season I would expect 17 clubs to be asking the question.

    Not worth what the Saints would want for him. 

    i dunno ethan, he's only 21 and very talented. knows how to find the pill and always dangerous in the forward line.

    i'd at least be sounding out his manager

    St Kilda will most likely want a player like Oliver, Brayshaw or Petracca in return as part of a trade.

    This type of player is surplus to our needs.

    No.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
