Garlett? Maybe got the message a little late that he had been de-listed.

Why would Garlett be at the club today when he was delisted laat Monday??

    Can we share the love please? Article sounds interesting, providing it doesn’t mention we’re trading someone out.

    It won't be Bobby Hill. Zac Langdon is not Ed's brother either.

    Would only really want Hately, Caldwell, Bonar or Finlayson of that list. Maybe Langdon or Dnaiels.

    I wanted Finlayson last year

    very underrated in my view

    With this split-pick / GWS-surplus scenario are we better placed if GWS lose this weekend? Early picks obviously yes, but what of the rest of the equation?

    If GWS and Essendon both lose then they end up with picks 11 & 12 (as it stands now - will both be pushed out a couple). If both win then they'll get 13 & 14 if they go onto lose the week after, if one or both win and then keep wining they worst case is 17 & 18 if they are both in the granny - very very unlikely. Short answer, slightly better off if both lose but only by a pick.

    Unless they keep winning.

    Thanks, I can comfortably cheer the Doggies on. However, even the thought of cheering on the druggies makes me feel bilious.

    Part of my question, probably not articulated well enough, was the impact on the rumoured FA Compensation; what the AFL may give to GWS, and how GWS would seek to use it.

    The compensation GWS might get for Tomlinson (who is their only FA worth anything), won't be a factor in anything we do anyway. The talk above that we'd trade pick 3 for GWS's 2 first round picks and the compo are just wrong, we'd likely get the 2 picks and a player. GWS still need picks to pay for their academy kid so they'll be hanging onto any compo pick they get. I think it'll end up either 2nd round or end of 2nd round, so pick 32/33 at the earliest (with the PP and academy picks) or could be up to pick 40. 

    The good thing is there's an extra incentive to cheer against the druggies!

    • 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.
