    Would you take a second rounder for Tmac?

    You'd just about trade the whole team for a 2nd rounder this year GCDee (Max & Clarry aside)

    First rounder at the minimum.  Big fellas like him don't grow on trees, and GC wouldn't let him go cheaply.

    TMac would probably get us a 2nd rounder, definitely not a first.

    I wouldn't think Wright would be worth any more.

    Wright spent more than half the year in the 2s for whatever reason. Either he's rubbish, so why would we bother, or he's worth a player that has spent most of his time in the ressies who can't crack a game at the worst club in the AFL. GC cant have it both ways, likewise with how they're positioning themselves on Jack Martin. Dropped him numerous times this and last year, yet asking the world for him.

    More than half the year?  He played 17 games in the seniors.  You need to check your math skills.

    A bit of hyperbole never hurt anyone. Regardless, I don't think a club has much of a leg to stand on when the player has been constantly injured and dropped

    GWS would trade a similar player to Wright for a third or second rounder. Just look at Scully and Patton.

    In reality, based on his current form and his place in the GC Suns pecking order, Peter Wright would be worth a 3rd rounder.

    A 2nd rounder would be fair.

    GC would ask for a 1st rounder.

    Asked for more info, was told they are still trying, but it comes down to a waiting game, as so many trades are being held up and the likelihood of this one is dependent on others moving first.

    also didn’t rule out speaking to other taller forwards, but unsure if they are really serious about getting one unless it is the one they want (possibly not interested in a short term solution). 

    Best part of trade week are these inside info posts, love em, cheers for the info! In your opinion, do you think it would be difficult to appease the other party in a trade for this player with our current assets? Or am I pushing my luck with this question haha

    What is this thread all about? We need more inside mids, not a key forward. Can’t have enough of those.

    So you’re confident we have the kind of forward line required to win a premiership?

    I would only be guessing, but I would dare say they would want some draft picks to help them out, so we could do that, but only my opinion.

    I hope we are still trying, haven’t heard or asked anything further (sorry, but haven’t had the chance), but we do need someone to help up forward.

    Hoping and expecting our forward line to get back to 2018 form, fingers crossed, if we can get a few on the park and work on our delivery.

    I don’t care who we had forward this year, nobody would score with our movement and delivery from this season.

    I still think TMac will/can kick 50 goals next season, as a clean bill of health and some confidence will get him back to the form he had, and as a starting point up forward, that isn’t bad.

    A fit melksham can kick over 30, as can Trac (if he works on his kicking) and Fritsch.

    I hope I am not being too biased and wishful, but we can’t go from being such a high scoring side in 2018, with the same forward line minus hogan, to being so woeful without the possibility of working on it and getting the form back.

    If everyone gets back to their 2018 form, we are still 2 goals a game down (Hogan)

    We had a lot of games decided by less than 2 goals

    Exactly BW that's why we need Bruce for pick 26 if possible. Readymade 2 goal  a game big forward.

    In 2018 we had Hogan, Weidemann, TMac and Garlett as our key forwards.

    Today we have Weidemann and TMac.....what is missing?

    Is that a trick question?

    Do you know/ Can you tell us if its us trying to convince the player to move or us trying to convince the club to let them go??? or Both??

    Could have gotten Patton for a future 4th rounder. Honestly how the feck does Hawthorn do that?! Daylight robbery every single year.

    • 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 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.
