So far it's looked like one of the poorer top 5 drafts I can remember. Like his brother, kicking is a major issue.

How is this year's looking?

    Gaff’s 27 now and on a decent contract that probably gets extended at a new club. After watching him this year I’m not convinced he’s a big value player anymore. 

    Its not part of the Eagles game plan but he doesn’t really break lines on the wing anymore so they’ve moved him inside where he provides spread and a handball option to their stronger mids. His kicking is reasonably reliable but not as damaging as it was or was meant to be. 

    I’d want a lot back with him to include pick 3.

    quite a good song by a great band off a cracker of an album.

    Cerra and 26 for 3???

    As good as Gaff is, it's worth remembering he will be approaching 28 when 2020 season starts. We paid 6 for May/KK, and May was 27 round 1, 2019. Different type of players, I know

    If take Brayshaw over Gaff.

    One’s got 5 year of stardom left.

    The other will be an absolute star in a couple of years for 5-10 years.

    Anyone who’s undecided about Brayshaw needs to watch his 3 goal performance against Freo late in the year at Marvel.

    For the sake of team balance though, do you invest a top end pick in a guy that is very similar to what you've already got? i wouldn't be doing it unless we were considering trading out one of Angus or Viney. 

    I'd rather just take pick 3 to the draft and pick up Lachie Ash.

    They rate our players too high and opposition players too low.

    Don't all supporters do that?

    I'm with you. Also would keep both brothers here you would think.

    Yes. We have some who are famous for it.

    Would consider trading 3 for Cerra, Langdon and 26.

    22 and 26 to GWS for pick 12

    Far fetched but I would do it

    Petrucelle would be a great get, liked his final against the Cats. With the Rioli situation and Bolton extending at Richmond you would think Eagles would be very keen to keep him now.

    Dees were into him big time during his draft year, just didnt make it to us unfortunately. Agree that the lack of Rioli will make it hard, but I think Geelong would be chuffed getting pick 3 back for Kelly.

    Doubt we’d get 26 back. As good as pick 3 is, Freo paid a top 10 for Cerra, and Langdon will be worth that 20-30 range. 3 for Cerra and Langdon is an interesting prospect.

    When people want what you have, you get to name the price and if not met, keep what you have.

    We are in the box seat and should go hard. Of course you ask for more than is reasonable. What you end up with is determined by other's desperation.

    Fair enough. The one problem I have deaing with Freo here is that Tim Kelly appears like he’d rather retire than end up at the Dockers

    We are in a pretty good position here.

    We have GWS wanting an early pick to try and get a pick earlier than the nomination for Green.

    Freo and West Coast in a war to get the highest pick to satisfy Geelong.

    Pick 3 for Gaff in a heartbeat.

    weve been into him for years

    Didn't make it to us? We chose Spargo, Fritsch & Petty before him. He made it to us, we chose not to pick him. Furthermore, we took Baker at 48, so it gives some clue into the mindset of our club 2 years ago, that we valued outside speed as a 4th priority with only a late pick.

    Edit: It might work out great though if the opportune pick of Petty at 38 becomes a mainstay and we address speed deficiencies elsewhere.

    Don't mind it at all. 

    what about 

    3 & 22  for 7, Langdon and 26

    Kelly's nominated West Coast, so can't see Freo becoming part of the equation. Looks like we're trying to keep splitting pick 3 separate to the Langdon deal.

    We've been into him for so many years he will be heading towards the ripe old age of 28 by start of next season.

    Pick 3 for Gaff only? Can't see it happening.

    Scott Brother 1 is on record saying he can't see the trade happen ans that he'd expect 4 round one picks and a player to trade out Tim Kelly. Seems reasonable.

    • 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.
