FFS Slow plodder, small, tackles dont stick, Kicking lacks penetration, WHY would you want to keep him? Suburban player at best!

Ditto.

    Can we get this weekend out of the way, so that we can concentrate on the important stuff, trading and drafting.

    Pike punched out Neil Balme's PA (a woman) when she said he was not available to talk. That's a bloody good reason to let go of a player. Had he done that at any of his subsequent clubs I'd bet my left nut he'd be exiting soon after.

    Surely you are not saying we would have won flags if we kept Pike?

    I have no respect for anyone that punches a woman. It is quite telling that he didn't punch Balme,  I imagine Balme would have placated him or if not possible relocate him.

    Are you seriously comparing Caleb Daniel To Charlie Spargo??

    Well, only 5cm, to be more precise.

    Are we sure about this punching thing, I thought he was p-ssed and made advances to one of the females employed by the club and went a bit far.

    No he is saying we work with Charlie to give him every chance of developing as he is contracted next year. Another pre season may well  make a big difference.

    Does the trade scene start to get a little more serious now that there's only two teams remaining and the Charles 'Midfielder' Medal is out of the way?

    Is Jamaine Jones of the Cats any good? Has just been delisted. They have a lot of small forwards and clearly don't need him.

    Is he better than what we have? He would come free of trading.

    Jamaine hails from my neck of the woods and I've followed his progress closely. 

    Outstanding junior,  competent at VFL level but  just not quite good enough at AFL level.  Pass.

    Hun reporting that GC hold 'genuine interest' in Billy Stretch after he was told that Dees wouldn't offer a contract until after trade period.

    Billy Stretch (Melbourne)

    Gold Coast has genuine interest after the Demons told their best athletic player they would have to wait until after the trade period before deciding whether they will offer him a contract. The Suns need to add run after fading late in so many games and he’s only 23 with upside after 47 games.

    Suns chasing mediocrity? How does one reward such stupidity with a PP?

    More improving their depth, just like we're doing with adding players who aren't A graders. Will be great for their culture and standards up there too. Good move for them IMO.

    PSD gets him for nothing.

    I pushed Jeremy Finlayson heavily throughout the trade period last year, when rumours surfaced that he was unhappy at the Giants.

    I was very disappointed at the time that we didn't get him and more so this season as he blossomed.

    This year I like Kamdyn McIntosh of the Tigers, who may leave, especially if not selected for the GF, which is looking likely.

    He has height, pace, experience and especially finals experience, good disposal, can mark and kick a goal.

    He could be handy off a HBF, HFF or wing and wouldn't be expensive.

    I think Jetta and Hibberd are nearing the end of their careers and he could be a handy player for us.

    He's a bit of a butcher McIntosh, but if he came cheaply, he'd be a good half back or wing option.

    Different trade scenario:

    In/Out

    Ollie Wines, Pick 9, Pick 27/Salem, Pick 3, pick 57

    Langdon/pick 20 

    pick 28 (32 after PP/Academy)/Frost

    Pick 38

    F3rd/Stretch

    Free Agency: Adam Tomlinson, Jack Newnes and Ryan Lester (utility)

    Retire/Delist: Lewis, Garlett, JKH, Wagner

    If we are splitting pick 3 I want a really solid talent coming in...or be interested in what Geelong has after Tim Kelly leaves and see who has the most enticing offer for trading down. Shouldn't be trading down just for the sake of it. 

    We don't need another inside mid, but he can play switch with Harmes/Petracca/Oliver resting forward so we have the right balance in the middle. Port are crazy to be looking at trading him out, or there is something there that isn't public knowledge.

    Don't think we will win Elliott, think Hawks or Bulldogs etc will win his signature.

    • 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.
