    Given the length and amount of the contract, Saints certainly think he’s worth pick 5. They’re shafting themselves.

    Saints are at Norf level desperate to get anyone to sign with them.

    Agreed. Sure Hill is a good player, but he is nowhere near $900K good.

    That kind of money is more for A-grade, heading into A+ category player's. Hill is a solid B+ at best.

    As we well know, when you've been down the bottom for a while, you do have to overpay in order to lure good players. You'd think it'd be heavily front-ended.

    Not sure I get that logic, I’d rather Hill than at least 3/4 of our list.

    Not for $900k a season.

    Nominated Saints as preferred club. 6 year deal worth 5.4 mil and freo want their pick 5. I know he’s a good player but gee that’s seems like a lot. 

    Yep, feels like overs.

    By about 350%.

    Carlton have had just as many misses, if not more, than us over the years.

    imagine being fremantle and thinking Brad Hill is worth a top 5 pick and another first rounder but being absolutely certain Jesse Hogan isn't.

    He's barely worth pick 6 let alone another first rounder. Keep dreaming Bell

    St Kilda were always going to have this issue when they offered Hill $900k per season.

    Fremantle up to their old tricks. 

     

    After paying pick 27 or something for him? Dreaming.

    They'd needed a lure to get him to nominate them so that Freo would only deal with them and now they are reaping what they sowed.

    Exactly. $900k a year on a six year contract. IMO he’s not worth two first round picks however St Kilda’s offer says he is.

    Two first rounders for Hill is way over but I suppose we paid that for Lever.

    Sure did... if you think pick 6 and pick 19 hold the same value.

    What does what they paid have to do with true value?

    Pick 6 and future first (St Kilda’s, let’s say pick 8 next year) vs pick 10 and a future pick 19 (with pick 35 coming back) ......

    The first round is a long round and covers everything from pick 1 to a pick in the low 20s.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
