    WCE had plenty of opportunity to draft Kelly. He was playing under their noses for years. He may have had a break out year prior to being drafted but even then the Cats took him with a pick in the 20s. 

    I am with the Cats on this one. Do you're 2 years son, then we'll get you home. 

    Irrespective, Scott is still a [censored]....

    If he has another good year that won't help much if he insists on going to WCE because try as they might they won't have the picks to offer.  It's hard to see how they can offer much more next year than they did this year. 

    Freo might have a new coach which could change his tune on going there and the Eagles could put a first and a future first on the table which is the going rate for a gun player. That might be much better than 19 and 20 or whatever it was this year.

    How do you think Hogan would have played next year if Melbourne blocked his return “home”?

    Hogan clearly wanted to go “home”.

    This massively lowers his value to MFC and his trade value.

    We did well to get what we did.

     

    If Hogan was a Free Agent this year, what type compensation would we be looking at?

    Will we look to package up a future 2nd round pick and this year's 3rd round round pick to get a pick in the 20s maybe low 30s

    Some interesting delisted players out there. I don't mind the idea of having Weller on a one year deal as depth.

    Hugh Goddard interests me. Doesn't really fill a direct need but was had a hard run with injuries. A one year deal to see if he can get his body right would be worth it. He is an endurance player that could still develop.

    Delisted players I have the absolute smallest of interest in:

    Cory Gregson - has the talent but terrible injury run
    Jed Lamb - would be his 4th team, he's mostly crap but maybe he's the latest of late maturers? There's something about him that could work in a good team, not sure if I'm crazy or not
    Darren meatball Michington - pressure forward type who has a crack
    Declan Mountford - tagger who's got just a little class and toe
    Jon O'Rourke - not sure he's hearts in it but his athleticism is still there
    Nathan Mullenger-McHugh - great name! Also he's super raw and athletic

    Mav "strabismus" Weller - love him!

    Great photo potential.

    Interesting that Beams took most of the money in his front loaded contract with Brisbane and then suddenly wants out. No wonder they were so pizzed off and wanted 2 x first rounders in return 

    I wonder if Hogan's contract with us was back loaded. If so, we might be saving a pretty penny in our SC next year

    Delisted free agents are all pretty slim pickings. Agree Mav Weller is the only one that I’d call right now. One year deal.

    Physically ready. Tough. No backwards steps. Fits Harmes mould. Good depth. Protects new young draftees at Casey.

    Mav Weller at the Dees would do no good for his confidence. Imagine every time the captain, Jack Viney, walks into the locker room and sees him, he'll break out in fits of laughter, probably even throw in his Fortnite dance for good measure.

    Either way, if we do get Weller, we know his nickname. 'The Fend'

  • Quote

    Weller and Viney are close childhood friends.

    But we don't need him.

    Not really any decent delisted free agents this year. Best of the lot is our very own Bugg who would surely be playing in a number of other teams. He’d legitimately be in the top 10 players at Carlton and Gold Coast.

    Weller grew up in Burnie, Tasmania.  Hard to believe he even knew who Jack Viney was.

    I heard Viney say it on one of those gameday footy shows when they replayed his tackle on him.

    I have no reason to doubt him, but by all means you're welcome to try and prove it wrong.

    Mitch Honeychurch remains unsigned. He is mostly an outside midfielder and played 13 games in 2018.

    Is he worthy of  DFA spot?

    Not that much I'd think if him taking unders money wise is really true.

    I think it's possible we could have got more for him next year.  He wouldn't have had this foot injury thing hanging over him potententually devaluing him, could have had a huge year and kicked 60+ goals.  My view is if things had fallen trade wise and he stayed he could have been pretty motivated by finals and sucess, assuming we continued on our upward trend.  There may also have been more competition from West Coast for his services if he was really still determined to get back.  In a lot of ways, it was possibly not such a good time to trade him.

    ...but it's all water under the bridge now, so no use crying over spilt milk.

    My biggest beef out of the trade period would have to be bloody Richmond picking up Lynch for nothing trade/draft position wise.  Would have loved it if we could have picked up May for nothing like they did.  Still bird in the hand is better than two in the bush I guess.

    Maybe they were pen pals.

    • 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.
