And would we be interested in chasing him? Do we have any way to make a trade if we were? 

I believe we have to use our first round pick this year at the draft, so we probably wont have the currency unless someone gets traded out.

Thoughts?

    There is something about Jack Martin that doesn't sit right with me. 

    Perhaps it's his consistency. He has this seemingly limitless potential but never produces week to week.

    Would take a proper pre season & good conditioning/fitness ?

    Exactly the kind of player we need. Would play that wing/half forward role perfect with his speed and football smarts.

    But he's not an inside midfielder so we'll pass anyway.

    If he's any good ( really ) Dew will try to keep him. If he doesn't...we probably don't want him ;)

    We will take Brayden Sier instead and add him to our list of inside mids....

    Irrespective of who is available we have to hit the draft hard this year. You can't go four years without adding quality youngsters to your list without causing a major issue in the future (see Melbourne 2007-2014 as a result of list management issues in the early 2000s).

    Outside mid, good in the air and kicks goals. Would love him at the Dees. 

    In terms of trade value GC would likely want 2 first rounders for him, I don't think many teams will be willing to part with that kind of currency...

    ssshhH  Ffs,   Mahoney and Co will see this,  and start thinking about retail therapy again.

    I wasn't keen on targeting KK when the likes of Shiel was available. I'm also underwhelmed by Jack Martin. Clearly, GC has a very poor development program as well as standards. It will probably take KK 12-months to get up to standard, same applies with May and his fitness (injuries aside). With that said, I don't mind the idea of targeting Martin, as long as the price is right. However, that never happens with "let's be friends and get the deal done" Mahoney. Also, I'd question the pursuit if the like of Josh Kelly was ignored. It's time we go hard and target these big names as opposed to these second or third rate players. The likes of Collingwood, Hawthorn, Richmond and Essendon continue to get it done (O'Meara, Mitchell, Treloar, Adams, Hoskin-Elliot, Prestia, Lynch, Smith, Shiel), why can't we.

    Martin would be huge addition. 

    It's a pipe dream though. 

    How would it be HUGE? He hasn't exactly set the world on fire. U18 potential stops once they're listed and constantly playing in the firsts.

    We will have between 3rd And 6th pick, that should get us someone fairly good

    Well it worked with Petracca he is huge!

    Isn't GWS Kelly a RFA this year? Or has he re-signed? If, if by chance we play finals, I'd throw at least $1mill pa to him and use our first rounder on young, fast mid with good decision making. Apparently we can't trade our 2019 1st rounder anyway

    He is class and polish, that's why he'd be huge.

    We have zero X-factor in our starting 22.

    He has the ability to kick a goal from nothing, the ability to set-up an opportunity for goal that wasn't there.

    He is quality and we are absolutely desperate for that forward of the ball.

    Would he get a game ahead of ANB though?

    • 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.
