Bliclavs had a stand out year but a poor one this season. My Geelong friend says that he lost a lot of mobility when he bulked up. He was previously a talented middle distance and steeplechase athlete. My friend feels his natural athleticism was sacrificed for bulk with a negative result on his game. 

I also think Bliclavs was the most damaged by the 'no third man up' rule. He was a solid midfielder with a huge tank that would add real advantage at the taps, I believe he even won their B&F only a couple of years ago.

MFC has demanded at least pick 2 and Freos first rounder next year for Jesse. This is why Freo offered Weller and 5, for The Suns' pick 2. This will then be sent to us for Hogan along with their 2018

Where's all this talk about McRae or  another gun mid coming and why haven't we heard anything about it outside Demonland??

Answer to the first question was from 1 or 2 posters on DL with supposed "inside sources".

Answer to the second question is 99% likely to be because it isn't true, but that won't stop us all playing along.

Would love to get Dalhaus at a decent price.

Watts is gone and Pederson will be 31 at the start of '18 season. Bliclavs is 4 years younger and his running capacity is a weapon.

He would be very very lucky if he is... If so, he would have to pull his fist out.

No one suggested Macrae was coming. Someone just guessed/hoped that the rumored quality mid (big fish) Roost it said we were in the market for might be Macrae.

Geelong makes sense to look at Watts, looks like Stringer off to Ess. They're throwing away a 40 goal+ player in Menzel... 

I still think Watts will go to Sydney.

But if Geel... Definitely wouldn't take Stanley.  Thurlow is good but we have Hibberd, Hunt. I'd take Menzel and Bliclavs.

If Watts ends up at Geelong, we should trade for a player, not the fringe dwellers being tossed up here

Stanley FFS

Menzel? Watts' game is more contested and he's a FA

Blivacs. His value disappeared with the 3rd man up rule

It would be the absolute heist of the year of Macrae asked to be traded to us.  I can't see it happening though.  If his problem is with "bad eggs" at the Bulldogs, their management would let the lot of them go (Stringer, Biggs and whoever else) before they let Macrae walk.  

It's a nice dream though.

Stanley is a renowned pea heart who plays a good quarter every six weeks.  Thurlow is quick but a poor decision maker and average user - got dropped from their finals team.  No way are these adequate swaps for Watts.  Set your sights a bit higher!!

Dawes survived the Collingwood rabble before he joined MFC so I guess Watts would similarly easily adapt. Hunt and Salem also versatile kids in the same mould. Maybe we should swap to get a replacement Brighton Grammar from GWS (such as Kelly)?

I've no idea who Thurley or Stanley are, whenever i watch a Geelong game, all they mention is Dangerwood, Hawkins and Harry with a side serving of Motlop and a sprinkle of Mitch Duncan

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
