Can’t believe there are still people who want T-Mac to return to defence.

    To me it looks like we're ready to accept unders so we can do a trade for May. It needs to be made clear to Freo that if May is taken away from us by another club, the unders will no longer be available, and they'll need to produce more than what's been discussed. We'll be in a position where we need to start looking for a next option after May, and that will probably cost us more, caused by them, so their cost.

    How about Tom going back when required. 

    Tom going back now if all players are acquired is a step backwards IMO.

    Stupidity confirmation.

    The only time TMac might be in the back 50 is in the last 2 minutes of quarters when we're  trying to stop opposition scoring.

    Or if we are playing in a prelim final against the Eagles. You , unfortunately have a very short memory span.

    Yep! I just woke up! 

    The ball isn’t in Freo’s or little man Peter Bells court! I don’t care what Freo value because it stinks and the rest of the competition agree... 

    Pick 5 is the foundation to move forward...  If not Jesse stays! I would be asking for Langdon and if I were the Dees I would be in his ear to leave. His brother doesn’t even want to go there! Or Tim Kelly. Freo are on the nose...

    Freo want Pick 5 and more from Brisbane... But want too give nothing for Jesse. Please...! Freo need to get off the grass.

    The Dees are the seller and have control. If the Dockers don’t want to buy at the asking price we’ll so be it. 

    Sounds as though you would touch your toes for Pick 11 & 23...! 

    I never said we should do that deal, i just said that 5 + Ed Langdon is a fairytale right now.  We might dig in and pull off 5+23 if Freo cave, but the mental health rumours suggest otherwise. Getting Langdon instead of 23 seems fanciful imo

    If he plays a full season he wins the Coleman at FF.

    Yes total outlier situation when we were bleeding goals. Akin to the last 2 minutes of quarters.  It's pulling the emergency cord.

    The context of the question was using Hogan as starting CHB next year.

    Are you seriously suggesting that we'll ever start TMac as key back in the future?  It's over - he's a key forward.

    No I’m not but there will be multiple situations where Tom will be used down back other than the last 2 minutes of a 1/4. The coach clearly recognises he is still our best defender and uses him so. I would have a long chat to Goody to find out what his vision is  for Tom before he is consigned as a permanent forward. He might have expectations that he can use Tom as his go to man a la Croswell.

    I'd rather Frost defending than Tom and that's saying something.

     I am aware of a massive offer from NM to Oliver (who has some vague connection to them) that Oliver refused. This one never made the media.

     

    Nice story 'GNF'.

    Up there with Little Red Riding Hood & a few other tall tales.

    Make it plausible by using North, they're throwing cash around like confetti. Problem is their offers are for free agents and out of contract players. Oliver is neither.

    Olivers vague connection to North is that they are an AFL team & he is an AFL player.

    It didn't make the media because it didn't happen.

    I have no doubt when Oliver's next contract is due he will get some very large to massive offers and we will need to take good care of him.

    Failmantle have some very strange ideas on sharing the money love. They signed Bennell on a 3 year $650k pa contract and kept Lachie Neale on $450k pa. There is every chance that Bennell will be gone soon (or at the very least get a new low $ contract) and if LN goes as well, that is a lot of money in the kitty. As well as any retirements, delistings and current underspend.

    So you are right. Lots of salary cap space in the land of purple muppets.

    The fact they resigned Ballantyne says plenty about these people from planet purple.

    I'm with Lobby Lloyd with this one

    Actually, I'd heard that one too.

    Who is we. Do you mean we as a club or you and me.

    If the latter, where did I give you permission to make up stuff about what I am thinking.

    Anyway who are you?

    If I had to choose between the posts of you and GNF, I know which I would believe and I am sorry but it wouldn't be yours.

    Sucked right in.

    • 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.
