    We got our Giants sell off earlier.  Tyson Bugg Frost Mckenna.  Frost is the only survivor.  

    The Trade Period isn’t over yet.

    Bit unknown, Hogan amd Tyson played 20 and 17 games this year and Kent when fit was selected.

    May would strengthen our defence but at who's expense? O.Mac gets games before Frost in Goodwins eyes.

    Jetta May Hibberd

    Lever O.Mac Salem

    Kent isn't much of a loss we have plenty of half forwards.

    Losing Hogan is a bummer, hoping Weed can continue to develop and kick 30+ in 2019. Tom Mcdonald will need to kick 40+

    Will be interesting to see if KK can be a regular 22 player and where he plays his best football. He only played 8 games this year and 11 games in 2017.

    Do we have any rumours of players we might be looking at drafting, trading for or picking up from a delisted club in the event of the following situations, or any personal suggestions on players to pick up?

    • Hogan is traded, May comes in. Another 3rd tall forward?
       
    • Hogan stays, May stays, Hold tight for a year? Or another KPD?
       
    • Or if Hogan stays. May signs with another club. Another KPD?

    LINE-BREAKING midfielder Aaron Hall has been traded from Gold Coast to North Melbourne. The Roos handed over a fourth-round draft pick (No.68) to seal the deal, as reported by AFL.com.au on Monday. 

    Quite a few seemingly good players are being traded at picks 50+ : Kent, Lycett, Rohan, Scully, Hall, Sam Lloyd and I'm sure there are others.

    Just shows that most clubs are about cleaning up their list than sweating over picks.

    Out of interests sake, why didn't we pursue Hall as a line-breaker? Was it a potential contract size or an attitude/temperament issue?

  • Quote

    Well my brain's fried trying to keep up...

    Sooooo...if we do do 'that deal' ...and then the other...meaning 

    Out. Hogan

    In May KK

    Could some kind soul tell me how many spots we MUST fill ? 

    Is it at all probability a rookie upgrade might account for 1 ..even 2 ?

    Rookie spots easy to fill... The list..I presume the draft but I've lost count of where we might end up here ( number of picks )

    Time for a drink... we know ... it's early....its Circus week ;)

    Port has Brisbane's 5 now and Brisbane have 6 - Bell will not be pleased

    The only difference it will make is that Freo could have got the value in shifting 5 to 6 instead of Brisbane. I suppose that's the problem with waiting. Effectively it means that Freo received two picks for pick 5 instead of 6, so they lost value there.

    Also, would Gold Coast view 6 as being 5 in a May deal? For us that's all that matters. Brisbane is extracting the value at the expense of Gold Coast.

    True but I'm not confident Bell will be able to get his head around that.  It's quite possible it will complicate his negotiations with Brisbane for Neale because "now you're offering me 6 instead of 5 - I want more steak-knives"

  • Quote

    I think it's probably the sort of thing that comes with experience. In his first year he's trying to win every deal but soon he'll realise that the true value comes from having the assets available when the real bargains are there to be taken.

    He'll probably start realising now when all of these bargains are going to go around and he's too busy haggling over an unavailable 5 vs the 6 they had originally!

    Means Brisbane have an extra 2nd round pick to use as part of getting Neale.

    Still cant believe not real trades have happened today.

    Port keeping ahead of Adelaide in the race to draft SA prospects.  Now only Carlton, GC x2, Saints ahead of them.  Port now 5 and 10, Adelaide stuck on 8 and 13.

    I wonder if Port will try to do 5 and 10 to get one of GC's 2 or 3 to make sure they get one of Lukosius or Rankine.  5 still seems late for them.

    I see Adelaide's 8 + 13 is enough points for 2.

    Can't help but feel that the whole circus is unseemly and almost indecent. 

    Like a group of men haggling over a parade of prostitutes on a street corner with the pimps (player managers) urging on the suitors with their hands out for the shekels. The authorities/police (the AFL) pass by and turn a blind eye to it because they get kickbacks.

    Its a win win for all.

    But everyone is demeaned in the process. 

    The unholy alliance between the media, the AFL, the clubs and the players all prosper as everyone seek to have their senses and desires satisfied.

    However, over time, the greed and the behaviour corrupts the decency and indeed the culture of the game.  

    The sad thing is that it is just going to get a lot worse in the future.   .

    Neale + 30 for 6 + 19 + 55

    values Neale at 6 + 35

    WE CAVED IN WITH HOGAN DEAL. Freo and other clubs must be laughing their heads of at this deal!

    should have insisted on 5, 19, Kollo and late third rounder.

    Under the deal done Neale worth more than Hoges

    Gutted!

    Essendon and Port were the premiers and runners ups in last October's trade period.

    Both clubs were in Bali, Thailand, the US and Europe by September 1 2018.

    • 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?

      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.
