I like it, we need the run but equally we need the experience and on field leadership. they can have their future second rounder back for him.

or pick 8 for Smith and 11

So now Melbourne have picks 3 and 8 in this year's draft after pick swap with North. Do the Demons have an ace up their sleeve for a player trade we haven't heard about?

Ah yes. The basket case is pulling aces again. Thanks potato.

So assuming we take Hayden Young and cody Weightman in the draft, our best 22 for Round 1 could look something like this:

B:       Jetta               May                  Lever

HB:    Young             Petty                Hibberd

C :      Langdon         Viney               Salem

HF:     Petracca        McDonald       Melksham

F:       Fritsch             Weideman      Weightman

R:      Gawn               Oliver               Brayshaw

Int:    Tomlinson       Harmes          Hannan        VandenBerg

Emg:  Preuss            O McDonald       Neal-Bullen       Hunt

How the hell do we land him? Is he an FA or do we need to pull a pick out of our [censored]?

Would love him for the record. @Patches O’houlihan is spot on. Not only does he still have something to give a team like us, his experience and leadership would be invaluable for our team that so desperately lacks it.

Maybe 8 for Smith and 11?  That also takes the risk of McGuinnes being bid on early for the Hawks

And Frosty could be the steak knives!  Joking...

Deals not done: Daniher, Papley, Martin.

Carlton miss out on Oakley and Martin. Only bring in Betts.

I think Ross Oakley is well past it anyway.

Very surprised the Giants couldn't get a deal done for pick 3. I find it hard to see them satisfying us with the picks they have, so not sure what the point of trading up to 6 was about.

Disappointed we didn't pick up a key forward, but I'd be interested to see what list spots we will have available post the draft, perhaps there's a delisted free agent or rookie we are looking at.

So much for Dorodo's big man talk that Essendon would 'hit the trade period hard'.  He likes to win the battles but ends up losing the war.  They gained Tom Cutler and Andrew Phillips and their first draft pick is #31. 

Carlton have also come away empty handed (well they have favourite son Eddie back).

Big trade fail for both clubs.

Hard to see either team improving much next year. :blink:

Apparently we're drafting 2 kids, both going by the name Basil, with our 2 first rounders.

As long as neither of them is fawlty.

Did we really?

Good going

Is Martin a PSD chance?

Agree that we've done well, happy we held our nerve and didn't swap #3 with GWS.

Could also nominate for national draft

Sun's could easily just delist Martin and Carlton take him as a delisted free agent.

So we head to the draft with picks 3, 8 and 97.

Think we'll keep 3 unless GWS come to us with an offer we can't refuse on draft night. With 3 I think Young has more upside, could play wing/hbf next year.

Using 8 on Weightman seems a big reach when most phantoms have him in the 15 - 30 range and one of Ash, Stephens, Kemp or Flanders will likely still be available.

wonder who we will use 97 on.

Why would that do that when the were at an impass at the trade table? 

Even if they (and us) have no intention in taking him in the PSD they should make them squirm a bit

  • 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.
