Won the GF sprint, just edging Frosty.

Only saw the heat but Frost looked stuffed, Ben King looked like he hadn't broken out of stride. Was a lock for the gf sprint victory after seeing that.

    Steven May traded in pick for Hoges was Ben King, number 6 in last years draft  + KK who got a 3 yr deal and will most likely be a bust due to ongoing concussion issues....

    Dees need to nail their picks.  Not just try to poach players.  

    Totally agree... I think we have been poor as a club trading top end picks. We don’t seem to get that right.

    However, Pick 3 needs to be on the table to get Ben King this season. I would be prepared to move on one or two players as well and free some salary cap.

    Ben King will be the best KPF for the next 10 years!

    His brother might give it a nudge.

    I think Ben will be the better of the two... Just my opinion.

    However, both will be great players over the next 10-15 seasons! I think playing at different clubs is best for there careers.

    It all depends on what happens, re- priority picks with GC this year.

    If they get given pick 2, then i'd be all for going after Ben King with pick #3. If we end up with pick 2, then i'd go after Anderson and try and figure out how to bring in 2 Meter Peter with our future first rounder next year and possibly our 2nd rounder this year.

    Either way, we need to bring in a quality KPF as well as a quality mid in the next 2 years. Both King & Wright are over 200cms, so could provide a ruck chop out in future, whilst playing the majority of time in the FWD line.

    As for quality mids, bring in any that we can get our hands on. I think we are well set for smalls and KPD's. Mids, KPF and good small forwards are first on our list of needs.

    Really DD !!

    Well off for smalls  ?? You must be the only Dees supporter of over 1/4 of a million that says we are well off for smalls.

    Glad they haven't got you in the room at the draft and FD meetings!

    This thread is a waste of time and space and is fantasy driven.

    Nowhere is there any shred of evidence that the King from GC will be up at the Dees

    its just fanciful snd a waste of space.

    Elliot is a sure thing in comparison to this drivel

    Here we go the bloke wins a GF sprint and he becomes a superstar!  

    Give me a spell 

    Really? Has anyone remotely mentioned the word "superstar" next to Ben Kings name?

    A quick small (like Elliott) -- King -- Hannan

    Fristch -- McDonald -- Melksham

    That is a much more potent forwardline, particularly with Petracca, Vandenberg and Harmes rotating in and out. 

    Even if we by some chance get Elliott, I'd be recruiting another two zippy smalls. To be honest, they usually come out of WA or even SA/NT.

    It also relegates Weideman to third fiddle, but I could see us playing three talls against certain opponents.

    And for those implying King's recruitment is linked to the GF sprint, take a look at this thread - most of it prior to the Grand Final sprint. Ridiculous.

    Ben King said he staying at the gc, so nothing to see here.

    No. His manager said he wasn't seeking a trade. There's a difference.

    • 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.
