    Whoever designs our new elite training headquarters will need to install a permanently revolving door out front.

    On a related note enough with the trade everyone threads. If a genuine whisper is out there in the media we'll allow discussion. 

    Some valid discussions around the trading of certain players in these threads and the value and talent which can be obtained through these specific trades.

    Can we have a special unique, bizarre thread where people only post actual news or at least rumours of substance.

    Give this thread three pages and people will be talking about how the McDonald's are disgruntled and want out and Tom only played badly this season because he was put of by Mahoney eyebrows.

     

    I KNEW IT !!!!!

    As good as gone if you ask me.

    Don’t know if it is the Macs but I understand 2 players want out and a 3rd is leaning that way.

    I understand that, outside of a few fringe players who didn't get much game time, that the rest of the list are strongly committed to the club and are as keen as mustard to atone for this season.

    Can we start the 'Trade Everyone' thread and be done with the club?

    A merger is on the cards? Footscray, North, Hawthorn, whoever?

    Oscar Mc ain't up to it - and so Tom Mc ain't interested if his brother doesn't get a game? He has stated that in the past.

    We know, Lewis and Maynard, they retired and the 3rd is Tim Smith who's been rumoured to retire. No need for smoke and mirrors

    He doesn't know a thing and he thinks it is the players that have been mentioned on this site

    It would reduce my stress levels immeasurably. T Mac frustrates me like no other player before him. Including a certain J Watts.

    Still wouldn't trade him though. What would we even get for him? Not enough to make it worthwhile.

    Whilst we are all in the mathematics of trying to improve the team, we should see how we can really engineer a coup. Let’s trade both Tom McDonald and his brother Oscar McDonald to the Suns. The Ballarat boys would love the sun and surf.  They both have frustrated the hell out of me and I’m yet to be convinced they would be up getting premiership medallions on the big dance day. 

    What would the disparate and desparate Suns give?  Ben King and pick 40 (start of 3rd round).

    why not see what rebuild we can truly deliver  

     

    Fun fact, they are actually from Edenhope and went to St Pats College here in Ballarat. Not Ballarat boys per se.

     

    And no....we shouldn't trade Tom

    He'll probably feel better with Misson out the door.

    That would be a pity. He's shown a lot of promise when he's been able to get on the park.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
