    Neither would I. Weid is on target to be a good player for us.

    Or just open your eyes. 

    I recall a couple of years ago many thought Oscar hopeless. Today he is our main key back.

    He has played two good games this year for Casey both against Coburg who  cannot beat time with a stick. What else has he done?

    Any preferences of Gaff over Sloane?

    Gaff, please ... still think he is the goods for our team.

    Neither could Ringo, but he was still the drummer for the greatest band in the world.

    Weid is developing and most good players don't necessarily rip the VFL apart, as it is played somewhat differently and with less skill in passing the ball etc.

    I think Weid will be the regular 3rd key forward next year.

    What do people think about trying to get Dalhaus in as a FA? Hes quick, tough and a good tackler. The Bulldogs CEO said tonight that discussions are ongoing but they aren't any closer to closing the gap.

    Trade out Tyson!  He has played good in patches however, has not met expectations.

    would also put Kent on trade table.

    Soidee - seriously what do you really believe we could get for them?

    With the form of the VFL side I suddenly think Johnstone and Keilty are safe.

    McKenna and Vandenberg have 2 months to prove themselves.

    Can T.Smith, Keilty and Maynard all be 3rd year rookies?

    So the delistings will be minimal. JKH, Bugg and Pedo.

    Trade bait Tyson and Kent, I would hold onto Garlett for another year to see if he can turn things around.

    If we can’t get Gaff, then I completely agree he should be the secondary target

    I thought T Smith was elevated to the main list

    Your allow to elevate a rookie at the start of the year (Maynard) due to injuries (T.Smith) and the middle of the year I think. They can be elevated at the end of the year or stay on the rookie list.

    Sorry, what I meant was that I thought he wasn't a rookie anymore. Who did we put on the main list at the draft last year?

    Any gun key position defenders we can poach?   It looks like slim pickings.

    This team desperately needs one....   could we sign Adelaides McGovern and turn him into a KPD?

    I know hes just started playing WAFL level after having foot issues, but I'd sign Eric Mckenzie from West Coast on a 1 year deal. While we have Lever out, we need a hardened experience defender who can add leadership down back. 

    Former best and fairest winner at the eagles and was Co Captain at some stage also. 196cm 100kg key back who would be handy until Lever comes back and Petty develops.

    I've heard he has had further problems with his foot and is a strong chance to retire by seasons end. I would have happily nabbed him otherwise.

    After the StKilda game, it appears that he has reverted to hopeless. Roos' legacy is nearly spent. Hibberd is the only player who really lifts and works hard covering the whole backline out of necessity.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
