I'm happy to put my hand up.  2 year deal, minimum wage (I'm happy to take a hit on what I'm on now).  A couple of years of free tracksuits, dieticians, personal trainers, and any free goodies that some of the stars are happy to throw my way.  I won't even request a trade at the end of next season or the one after.  Also happy to put up with 2 years of fan criticism on Demonland.

Just call me the modern day Lucas Cook.

Sounds good to me Lucas. Can you put up your highlights tape so we can get an early start on hanging [censored] on you ?

 

Frosty! Would be the blindside of the decade!

I feel like a developing mature tall that plays forward or back.

I want to know who we're going to target with the all important Pick 97.

Demonland aka One who is never afraid to ask the hard question.

If only one of our many former Jacks was available.......

 

Will be used to upgrade one of the rookies, Lockhart or Dunkley maybe? Opens up another spot on the rookie list while keeping a very low paid player on the senior list - no real difference between the rookie and senior list now anyway but if we go to the draft with 3 & 8 we need to use that pick.

I concur

The best state league key position forward is the only way to go. Find a Podsiadly type that can come and play a role for a few years.

Not the worst idea poita

I guess it will be more like pick 70.  Most other clubs will be passing by then.  I suspect it will be a Dunkley or Lockhart upgrade to close out our deal.  We can then take DFA’s (Bennell, Buzza?) and Rookies as we move forward.

Let’s split it. Two picks in the 100’s.....the possibilities are unreal.

There we ggo problem solved?


Rookie upgrades no longer require a draft pick number.

Rookies are upgraded prior to the draft and I believe each upgrade acts as a draft pick (without the number attached)

At least,  that's what happened last year so I'm assuming that's how they do it now.

So unless we trade picks 3 & 8 ... it will probably be rookie upgrade,  pick 3 and then pick 8.  And we'll possibly make a bid on Tom Green at pick 3.

 

 

Most clubs pass on picks that late. Maybe no-one or as mentioned the rookie upgrade. Lots of space on the rookie list now.

  • 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.
