Who do we realistically target for a trade?

Lloyd from the Tigers I think is a player who would fit in well. He’s a good kick and we need as many of those as we can get.

    The suns desperately need leadership, just as we've had from Lewis in the past 2 years grooming the clubs culture.  And just as the Lions have had from Hodgey.

    I reckon the AFL would like to help the Suns get back on-track...

     

    So, to me, a win-win would be something like : >  NJones and ZJones to the Suns.  Leadership in dedication and commitment, you will not surpass. Two brothers playing together for the first time.

    Our take... Touk Miller or Ben Ainsworth.

    The Swans, I imagine, not sure of they're needs.  Maybe Jarrod Witts, or someone else?

     

    The Suns have been in "parte` mode" for far too long now,,, and they need some clean livin' hard edged people, who will back one another, to start to turn that culture around, from the ground floor.

    I see where you’re going with this, but the chance of Nate leaving Melbourne for anything other than retirement is 0. Make that -100.

    Aaron Hall for Dom Tyson. 

    Both have flaws but Hall fits our team better and suns get a ball winning mid.

    To get gaff as well and hunt to come back and improve, we will have better balance. 

     

    I'd say Tyson would actually be worth more than Hall, while not opposed to Hall I think given he's turning 28 and has been dropped at times this year, in a pretty ordinary team, we could pick him up for no more than a 3rd rounder or upgrade their 3rd to our 2nd (something along those lines) and keep Tyson or deal separately with a Vic club if he wanted out. Hall I see as a cheap alternative to Gaff (nowhere near as good) and doubt we'd be after both of them.

    For me Hannebery provided his body checks out ok would be more beneficial to our young midfield. Can break lines and steps up to big occasions. Would be cheaper than Gaff. Gaff is classy player, and finisher but Hannebery type has good leadership credentials too.

    Hall, Lloyd and Fasolo would be handy additions

    Was dropped by Eade and Dew, he’s a quintessential NQR.

    Yeah but was also asked to play a role that isn't his main strength, being more inside than out. I think he'd have some potential in a team like ours that has stronger inside mids so he could just use his speed to connect on the outside. I see him as a very cheap alternative to Gaff should he stay in the west.

    Armitage?

    Already 30, slow but does have some footy smarts. I'd prefer to let Vince run around again. I'd say he'd be better off going to Gold Coast for his retirement funding.

    Hi cards so who will use as a trade for a KPB seeing as how we have no first round draft picks to use?

    Hey OD, why are we chasing a KPB for trade? Getting Lever back and we’re all good? Oscar another year in the system/preseason and he will improve.

    Yes, I think we could use DArmitage for a couple of years.  He certainly would give us cover inside,,, Re injuries and ability... with Tyson on the outer.

    And while our younger players get their acts together.

    He would help us park a bit of Salary Cap,,, for when we can go at Kelly or Whitfield, when they come up.

    He’ll be 31 next year, can’t get a game for the Saints, is slower than both Vince and Lewis...

    I hope we don’t go anywhere near him personally

    Sam Mitchell. Leaving Eagles at end of year to come back to Victoria

    He'd be the kind of coach that you'd back to mentor Dom Tyson and turn him into an elite disposer of the ball. It's that or we just play him instead of Tyson :laugh:

    Is he really?  is he that slow?  Whats his endurance like? 

    Remember we need someone as a backup, in-case we lose some insiders to injury in 2019. 

    I'm not interested in Tyson, he just doesn't use the footy anywhere near well enough, that I've seen...  Time to shuffle the deck and discard.

    Without Lew & Tyson,,, we can carry a slow player as an in-under.  We just can't carry 4 slow on-ball'rs..

    - - - - - --

    I'm still in the Pro Pedo corner for 2019,,, for similar reasons.   I expect Weidman to start to rise next year, but he will most likely still be inconsistent you'd think.

    And IF we were to cop a major injury to Hogan or TMc, we would have to rely heavily on Weides.

    Pedo gives us insurance for the Ruck, Defence, and Forwardline.  Good value I think, for the cost of one season salary.

    To be honest gaff is available. Eagles spent a mill on the gov as they know gaff is off. Get him under 800k 5-6 year deal. Otherwise refine what we have !

    On a serious note I believe the big money to gov could definitely be the signal that gaff maybe on the move.  

    With that in mind we need to be careful not to offer the world. I still think no the buddy deal for the swans is now biting them in the arse. A salary cap of 10 or so mill and one guy getting a mil of that with 37 other players to pay. 

    Gaff is good and I hope we get him on a 5 year deal, but not going to crazy on the cash. Get active Melb recruiters and book A coffee in when over here!

    yes, he really is that slow

    his kicking is up and under and he doesn't hit the scoreboard

    he wouldn't improve our side one iota

    • 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.
