    As long as he brings Jack Silvagni with him W’DEE. He’s out of contract at the end of the season.

    As much as we hope we look far and wide, we will more then likely end up with more Casey players on our list.

    We are already in talks with Sydney! Don’t know the full details.

    Also have held discussions with Nathan Freeman. I am only assuming for the mid-draft.

    Is it just me or is this the most epically and deviously planned tanking ever

    prelim 18

    surgeries to 5000 players

    bottom 4 ‘19

    high draft ‘19

    2020-2024 gfs

    epic

    I should really re search this but didn't the Eagles make the prelim or Granny the year after finishing second last and securing nic nat?

    2017 - 1st pick 29 Spargo 2nd pick 31 Fritch

    2018 - 1st pick 27 Tom Sparrow  2nd pick 33 James Jordan - Too early to say stuff ups.

    Plenty of lemons went before Fritch and not many stars after him. I think Sparrow will be OK

    Spargo & Fritch have played 50 games between them, even Freo who picked Brayshaw & Cerra have less games from their first 2 picks (picks 2 & 5) Yes I would rather have Brayshaw & Cerra but we didn't have pick  2 & 5

    He isn’t the sort of speedy player I’m after. He is fast like Hibbo is fast. In that he runs fast and turns it over. No thanks.

    Fair. Wasn’t having a go at you at all. Just really hope we don’t keep chasing the same type of players we already have enough of. 

  • Quote

    Not sure who we are into, but would like to see what we would get in return for Frost, OMac, Petracca, Garlett, Hunt, ANB and Viney. 

    This year will define us and we need to be ruthless. We have severely overestimated our list.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
