    For mine we need another winger/outside runner, tall forward and small forward/lock-in player. 

    Moving up the list to hopefully get what the FD have targeted.

    we will need to fill a couple of spots with free agents or something...

    will be interested to see just how we fill our list up.

    7 spots to fill as it stands. Sounds like one, two or three of Maynard, T Smith or Keilty will be upgraded.

    That makes the most sense.  We may go for someone in the pre-season draft, sign a delisted free agent etc as well.

    I like the deal, though - we now have two picks in the 20s, and trading up to 28 to go with 23 suggests that we have a few players in mind that we felt wouldn't make it through to our later picks.  Or, we are looking to trade further up the draft into the teens, although I don't see that as a highly likely outcome.

    Disappointed we didn't get 27 but I heard it might have failed the medical.

    Nah, I think it wanted to go home.

    How long can a rookie remain on the rookie list before you have to make a call?

    I think Maynard will be upgraded, but not the other two, provided they are ok to stay on the rookie list for another year.

    Thought pick 23 could have been used on Billings before we traded with St Kilda for p28.

    Does anyone think we’re going to do anything else this year? 

    Doesn't sound like it. Mahoney said we were looking to fill out three list needs and upgrade our draft hand. Think that's all she wrote

    Thanks GLG, currently on holiday in the US so very happy to go to bed if there’s nothing more to see!

    Surely, they wouldn't give up Billings for a pick 28.

    And Gresham is the guy that I'd be targeting (even less likely, I know). He would compliment our forwardline perfectly. Alongside Petracca, Spargo, TMac, Weid and a resting ruck, that's a scary forwardline.

    It'd be cheeky, but I wouldn't mind us offering up both picks in the twenties for Gresham.

    Fills that small forward need and can also roll through the midfield, maybe on a wing.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
