    Would this be our first free agent signing since Shannon Byrnes?

    I believe so. We’ve just lost them going the other way. Time we start landing some free agents for no trade cost!

    Tomlinson will be a good get for us.

    Forgot about Riv.  Still, two isn't many to lose; not as if we've been damaged by free agency losses.

    So he's been mostly a regular in the GWS team this year but some think not good enough for us ?????

    The problem is how we fit these guys into the salary cap and how we manage those coming out of contract this year. 

    Someone remind plz if we delist a contracted player for medical reasons I.e Avb or KK, do we take a hit on salary cap with the payout? Cos that's the only way we could land Langdon and Tomlinson ... cant imagine how we get Laird in.

    He will be a good get for free. If he works out then it's a win, if he doesn't then we didn't lose a thing really.

    We have to get him first.

    True. But that's the same for any player you chase. 

    If we do get him in free agency, then I think it's a shrewd piece of business for the club.

    Wouldn't think we're currently paying 100% of the cap and need to delist contracted players to afford one. Especially given Lewis & Garlett are gone already.

    Frawley, Rivers, Sylvia, Moloney. Sure they’re not really superstars, but we haven’t had any superstars for a long time. In that group is an All Australian defender who’s now a premiership player, a BnF winner, a Rising Star and an unfulfilled talent who was a pick 3.

    We’ve acquired Shannon Byrnes.

    We definitely need to make more use of free agency. Not saying it was the wrong move, but we gave up pick 6 for May and we could’ve got him trade free as a free agent a year later instead. Our drafting has suffered the past few years and no one (other than Lewis) wants to come our club as we are traditionally weak and Aden now a basket case again. Back to paying overs to lure talent again!

    With delistings and retirements we'll lose a fair bit off the cap. Losing Lewis and Garlett's contracts will help as well as what i'm sure will be further delistings + trades. Doubt we'd even be right at that cap at the moment and will probably only face those issues over the next 2-3 years when more of our "better" players come out of contract and start demanding more.

    We have removed the Lewis and Garlett contract amounts (amongst others), but on the other hand we've re-signed a number of players (eg. Weid) on what would probably be increased amounts.

    Wouldn't think Weid would have got a big increase to be honest. What other players have we re-signed this year who would have had big rises?

    Would think any rise Weid (and probably Frost) got would have been cancelled out by the reduction in Jones' new deal. Guessing of course.

    Plus Jones is on far less than his previous contract. 

    I agree others would be on more too, but we have certainly opened up more room for this off season.

    At the time Frawley was a big loss, despite him not bothering too much in his last season.

    losing him to Hawthorn and rivers to the cats, demonstrated very clearly the flaws of free agency. Top teams raiding the bottom ones. It stunk (still not over it, it would seem!)

    I see the Kangas are into Goldstein, interesting.. 

    North are all set to trade for Goldy with their first pick. They get two players for the price of one.

    It's the next couple of years that are the tester more than this one IMO.

    We have to hope Mahoney manages things well and that we can turn the ship around a bit so weren't not relying solely on money being the attraction.

    • 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 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.
