I guess what is not mentioned is that the MFC has already stitched up one of the guys who would have been on of the biggest name free agents of 2019:

 

Steven May.

    Cogniglio or Tomlinson could be handy.  Would be nice to get a FA without giving up draft picks

    Coniglio is a serious jet. IMO was unlucky not to be named All Australian last year. One of the best rounded goal kicking midfielders in the game. I'd love to land him, but I suspect it's either GWS or a return home to WA.

     

    We should just focus on keeping our own going forward. Keep Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Lever etc together and the success will come.

    I know he doesn't pass the 'no DH' test, but Libba could be an A grade mid if he got his [censored] together. Can't see him leaving WB, but stranger things have happened, and we have Macca and a bunch of others who I'd back to pull him into line.

    AFL website has clubs circling Cogniglio, with Freo the favourites. However 'The Rabbit' grew up despising Freo. Article also has Carlton and Hawthorn (surprise, surprise) in the race.

    I’d rather Harley Burnnell if we’re going to take a top of the range dh.

    But fortunately we’re in a position where quality people and players are wanting to come to the club now and we don’t need to worry about needing to draft dh’s to improve our talent but coming in and ruining our culture.

    Not that Harley Burnnell is a free agent just a dh we could get for nothing like a free agent.

    Yeah talented dh that I would prefer to Libba. Luckily we won’t take either.

    You'd rather Bennell than Libba???

    FMD

    Glad you're not our list manager

    At what point are we done chasing new players and more concerned with keeping the current group we have together? Now, or if not soon I would imagine 

    None of these names jump off the page for us anyway

    Agreed, we don't really need inside mids. We need speed, outside run and a small forward that actually has nous. We've seemed to be targeting a decent small forward for years ever since we picked up Addam Maric those years ago.

    Whitfield would be one of the last pieces of the puzzle and the only one from GWS I'd pursue.

    Never, we should never stop looking to improve the list.  we should do every year.

    I'd happily put a big bid in for Jamie Elliott. Worse case scenario it makes the Pies pay more to keep him.

    Stephen Hill if the price is right? Come play wing/back flank and finish your career with some wins.

    Brandon Ellis for the right price? Has only had one great year in 2017 since his early days but he can run and kick.

    Un-retiring Cyril is still a great idea.

    Realistically we've signed Salem, we need to get Weid done at a fair price and then it's probably more shopping around the edges looking for guys who can fill needs.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
