Definitely keen to get him to the Dees. His kicking and drive are what we are lacking, so he’s be upgraded depth at worst. Haven’t heard his name mentioned at all around the traps, but I’m hoping we’ve enquired and can get him across cheaply with little fuss.

    Yep I agree, could see him playing across a wing half back as he provides run and carry

    Get him. Late pick. At worst he’s upgraded depth. Good penetrating kick off half back to replace Hibberd in the near future.

    Would hopefully allow Salem to push into the midfield and use Cutler's run off half back.

    I don't think Salem is back because there isn't other options, it's more that he didn't cut it in the midfield.

    But agree Cutler would be a good get.

    Agree WTM.It's probably a bit too hot for him in there, but he excels when given a bit of time allowing him to capitalise on his disposal.

    Christian needs to make it in the midfield or get more of it off half back.

    Believe he had a few injury issues that saw his 2019 effected.  If he gets over those i believe he is a meaningful upgrade on a Stretch.  Bit more of a running outside winger but also bigger bodied with a significant height advantage.  Averages about double the number of goals and just under double the meters gained vs Stretch.  Marks a tad more.  Stretch tackles a bit more and a few less turnovers but might be kicking it safe more often.

    Significant improvement on the likes of JKH.  ANB plays a diff type role but might even push him out a little depending on roles / match ups.

    Not very good on the trade front but gut feel says for a mid late third round Cutler improves our depth as mentioned and is a bit of a steal.  Be going for him big time on that proviso subject to the usual medico testing.

    Not much here ...from 38 second mark if interested.

    Cutler v Stretch (Career averages)...

    Yep to me he still lacks that hunger.

    Never really heard of him.  192 cms utility.  could be good back up for Tomlinson on the wing and cover down back with frosty going.

    24yo and 66 games so should be hitting his prime.  might be worth a punt

    He's tough enough, got great skills, I just wonder whether he's a natural ball finder though. A bit like the debate with Trengove. I'm not convinced he can't find enough of it, but I like him as a player.

    Absolutely he's tough, but to me he needs to become more selfish as a player.

    Averaged around a goal every 2 games and roughly 20 touches in 2018. Definitely a sound depth upgrade for a wing role or a high half-forward. What was his injury that kept him out this year?

    yeah i also think he was unlucky with the Lions hitting peak form this year and him having an injury. He is no star but he is solid and fits a need we have.

    What is his injury issue?  Someone suggested a foot - that would definitely put me off in a big way.

    Draft pick 73 gets it done. Only because Lions will want to free up some lust space. 

    Cutler fits our needs. Fast. Gialkicker. Good size.  Wing or half back.  Good ball user.  Only squeezed out by Lions new midfield.  

    Are you a Kiwi, or is there more to this up in Brisvegas?

    Had an ankle for about four weeks mid season.  I think it's a recurring one but only guessing.  Might be a bit of a risk on that front but then Stretch hasn't exactly been durable either.

    • 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.
