i've always liked him as a player personally

he'd be another mid / forward combo player

but in terms of free agents at the end of the year, i'd rather get gaff

    We should definitely be in the market for a free agent at the end of this season. Vince will most likely retire and Lewis would have one year left, Jones probably 3. We are also right in our window so should throw the kitchen sink at winning premierships over the next 5 seasons.

    I'd have a crack at any of the following:

    Luke Dahlhaus

    Andrew Gaff

    Marc Murphy

    Rory Sloane

    Sloane would be worth getting just for the Adelaide melts. 

    Tay-Tay Walker would go cray-cray.

    We should be chasing Gaff on your behalf Ethan. I'm sure you'd get a few chuckles out of it out west.

    This would be great, I’d wear my MFC jumper into work with Gaff’s number on the back. They take things very personally over here, I’d probably lose my job.

    I would take Dahlhaus in a heartbeat. Good player. As for Gaff I must be different from other people. No thanks.

    I am with you. Gaff is massively over rated. He has been very ordinary in September

    If his Family weren’t Demons, he would be mostly unknown. 

    Dahlhous is twice the player

    bit of a coin toss between gaff and dalhaus - very similar stats, same age

    i'd take either (depending on price)

    Dahlhaus is well ahead of Gaff as a target for mine.

    Gaff is very much an outside player which isn’t the Melbourne mould. Even our outside players are more than willing to get their hands dirty and win their own ball. We want versatility and Dahlhaus provides that. He’d be a big loss for the dogs. Arguably their second best player.

    No for mine. Money better spent keeping our group together. We have youth that should - all going well - be on Dahlhaus level by years end. Plus, we have a strong midfield, and there would be no point forking (a lot) for what would be a forward pocket player.

    They're both overrated as far as I'm concerned.

    I'm all for getting Gaff. Exactly what we need and he would be very gettable.

    I wouldn't be chasing Dahlhaus. We have a heap of players competing for that hff position. I would much rather spend the money on someone we need.

    Sloane and Lynch would both be amazing but I think they will stay or there will be other clubs who will make godfather offers to them. I don't want to break the bank.

    We will be spending all our spare change on Ollie Wines.  Forget Dalhaus.

    I'd go Sloane, with a $3.2mill over 4yrs contract offer.

    ($850thou Yr1,   $650thou Yrs2&3,  $1m Yr4) = $3.2m over 4yrs, mostly back-ended. If we can squeeze it in.

    We need a mature player of his type.

    We need that quality runner, who is not totally outside.

    WE chased him a few years ago and correct me if l am wrong, however l remember reading it in the papers as the Bulldoggies put a halt to it as he was still serving  a contract. He can hold his own . Mid 20s.

    Good goal sneak. Certainly worth considering

    Point of order. His mother and brother are Demons. His father is a Richmond supporter.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
