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!

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
