    How big is the go home risk? (Remembering that GCS have really struggled to keep players the last few years.

     

    GCS have to back themselves. If you’re going to  pass up on the opportunity to have a crack at the next Dustin Martin, Chris Judd or Nick Reiwoldt because you’re afraid they’ll leave in two years you may as well shut down the joint now.

    Unless as I said they receive an offer way too good to refuse. Will the SA clubs do that? Sell the farm to get these elite kids? We’ll know more by 8:30pm tonight.

    As an aside, watch the AFL increase the initial mandatory contract for all draftees in the top 20 to three or even four years soon. 20yo’s being enticed and lured by rival clubs before they’ve barely laced up a boot is a bad look for the game.

    hogan > neale

    6 + ?    > 6 +19

    or walk

    I genuinely believe hogan = neale.

    We do underestimate neale a bit imo.

    I think this has to be done.  Can't see a reason not to.

    No surprise we haven’t had many deals done yet when we decide to rock up to the office after lunch on the most critical day....

    key forwards don't grow on trees. neale may be good but good midfielders are aplenty, plus he's 2 years older

    call their bluff, freo are now hooked

    Looks like we wont make it to 400.

    Meanwhile, I wonder... all this talk of how the whole of trade period and every other deal is being held up by Freo... even trades that don't seem to involve Freo a whole lot like the Beams and Shiel trades...

    Have we just quietly been working behind the scenes to shift the story and put pressure on Freo to pull their tiny finger out?

    It's happening. Brace yourself folks. Will the servers survive if we get reamed? 

    Losing Hogan about to enter his prime is getting reamed but seemingly unavoidable. Obviously, we want to maximise the compensation, but unless we were getting an equivalent player in return it will hurt. May is serviceable and fills a need, but is not in the same class as Hogan and draft picks are speculative and are unlikely to have an immediate impact.

    • 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.
