I'd like 40-50 good games from Smith.  That would be highly beneficial on a wing opposite Langdon.

As a supporter, why would I care if he's given 2 years or 3 ?  What's it to me (his length of contract) if he gives 40-50 good games ?

The 'good' and 'if' being the sticking points.

I would be very happy with  40 -50 good games.

I don't think he is likely to give us that many. I think we will get 15 -20 good games and about 5 - 10 below average to average games.

    Would love Smith on a wing; confidently getting into space and making good decisions into the forward line.

    I think he’ll be a great pick up, hopefully we can get it done.  ?

    Goodwin? Is there a single player in our forward 6 who'd get a game in either of the two teams in the GF? I think not, Fritsch might be the only one.

    Luke Jackson.

    How many Port or Brisbane forwards would displace current Richmond or Geelong forwards?

    Yuck. An elderly player on the downhill slope looking for a fat pension cheque. Hopefully not on crazy money, so we can actually re-sign our good young players, but who knows with Mahoney.

    Why bother posting if you're just going to whinge and make non factual statements?

    Is there a dumbass award I'm not aware of on here?

    A proven quality wingman from a successful club on I suggest a moderate wage but longer than preferred contract at no draft or player cost.  To fill a significant gap in our list for year one, year two whilst unknown options compete for the position  and I suggest develop our youth at Casey our provides good depth in  year 3. This or  a 2 year deal that he doesn’t take with us banking on Baker becoming an ok wingman in 2021 or us trading for a suitable player (cant think of any other OOC or FA) at a a higher cost.

    Warming to the debate on one of the current threads on this forum Trade & Draft in the Time of COVID re: MFC as a destination club. We think Demonland may be a destination footy blog for members of the sports medical profession as well,  with the good Doctors Evil and Gonzo immediately springing to mind. Sure there are others out there too but memory presently eludes us...

    Smith would be an improvement on current 22 and as a FA costs nothing.

    3 yrdeal where maybe only get two good years is okay. 10 guys on bottom of list give you next to nothing each year!

    I think it’s plainly obvious that we won’t win a flag unless we strengthen the quality of our wings. We saw what an amazing difference Langdon made this year, but he can’t do it alone. Our wings have been a rotating retirement village for unsuitable players.

    Yes it would be lovely to get another 25 year old gun wingman like Langdon, but we need to be realistic about our salary cap and the amount of players we have out of contract next year that we desperately want to keep. 
    Smith might be a short gap filler but he’s proven and can’t do worse than the other options currently on our list. He will cost virtually nothing in terms of cap space and won’t compromise our draft position, so who can bloody dispute that?

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • 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.
