I doubt he plays on 


People suggesting as many as 10 players getting cut or traded need to consider who we are getting in.  We have no good draft picks at the moment, not a great position to trade and the best state league players will be given to the bottom teams.

So players like JKH will certainly be on the list next year. I imagine T Smith will be as well. If Weed and Hogan both go down for example we need some cover.

So 4 kids in the draft, 2 casey upgrades. 2 players traded in (Pruess and Gaff) - yes i still think we are a chance at gaff

that is 6 so far.

Tend to agree

We've only really got ability to make one or two mid-level trades in and buy one RFA. Add 3-4 kids later in the draft and 1-2 State leaguers in and were looking at about 7 ins.

Assuming no big name trade out (e.g. Hogan)... I think this means

Retire: Vince, Pedersen, Balic

Delist: Bugg, Filipovic,

Trade: Tyson, Garlett

Question mark ?: Johnstone, McKenna, King, T Smith (has he got a one year ext??)

Then Lewis is safe and we need to  Re-Sign: Vandenberg, Kennedy-Harris, Kent and a few of the Question Marks

All the players listed above your last line have no future with us.

Delist: King & Filipovic (we got killed every week in ruck in VFL, especially if Preuss in they both have to go!)

That gives us 5 spots with retirements.

Sounds like Tyson trade likely that’s six spots, and as much as I like Garlett he will be another trade, making 7 spots available! 

Then Bugg to trade, or Johnstone or McKenna delist and we have 8! 

8 is plenty to trade, draft or deal, a very good spot to add into our existing list, with only one Tyson being in our preliminary final 22. Tyson best spot is inside mid and I’d put at least 6 in front of him (Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw, Harmes, Petracca, Jones) and could add Salem, and AVDB, maybe more!

Trading, delisting eight looks great!

Retire. Vince. Balic. 

Delist. King. McKenna  Johnstone (then rookie) 

trade or delist   Jkh   Bugg

Rookie delist. Foilopovic 

Rookie retain. T Smith Maynard

That’s 7 total spots. (6 main 1 rookie) 

trade possible. Tyson (tough call)

rookie upgrade. Keilty

Pedo Bugg Flopvic King McKenna all delisted

I think Pedersen is unlucky. He was a handy backup but understand decision. 

Johnstone lucky but might be delisted/rookied later

Next? Jkh and Tyson are tradeable 

With Kent going we have 8 spots open on our list and its only 3 days since the season ended!  if hogan goes thats 9. No word about Maynard, Johnstone, Smith, Garlett yet

sounds like we will be very active in the trade/draft!!

Yep, sit back and enjoy the cheese.


Good decision to cut ties with King, Filipovic & McKenna. 

I can't see any benefit to retaining Johnstone, even if his replacement is pick 100 in the rookie draft. Find the best available state league player and give him a chance on the list.

Kennedy-Harris & T.Smith survive only because we have badly mismanaged our list over the past two years. 

Garlett, Maynard & Wagner are lucky they have contracts for next year, particularly the first two. 

I would have kept Pedersen around until after trade week, and Vince would be better value next year than the bottom ten players on our list.

According to Triple M’s  2018 Trade And Free Agency Tracker, the following have been mentioned as players on the move in connection with Melbourne -

GOLD COAST

Steven May – linked to Melbourne, Collingwood and Hawthorn

MELBOURNE

Dom Tyson – linked to North Melbourne
Jesse Hogan - linked to Fremantle
Dean Kent - linked to St Kilda
 
NORTH MELBOURNE

Braydon Preuss - linked to Melbourne

I thought the jungle drums were fairly strong that May would end up at Collingwood.

Wow. It’s an active centre only 3 days after our season ended

Imagine this:

Trade Hogan to Fremantle for Pick 6 and 5

Trade Pick 5 to Gold Coast for Steven May

Trade Pick 6 to GWS for Dylan Shiel

Sign Andrew Gaff as a free agent

Cap space would be a bit of an issue i'd assume.  But i'm no accountant

Maynard is contracted, as is Garlett

I know but I reckon Jeff and the Club might come to an arrangement to free up his spot. His heart is clearly not in it anymore. We will probably keep Maynard I’d say

I now think May will go to Collingwood, Shiel to Hawks/Blues and Gaff to NM.

  • 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 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.
