We are targeting Maynard and likely to get him.  Its been a long campaign similar to that to secure Langdon.

Assume his Dad ( Peter, an ex Demon ) still works for us at Casey as GM.

    What size is this fish? Could it be the elusive big fish we've been trying to land for years? We probably need a riddle here.

    Koi?

    Just a few ideas for the types of players we need. Take with a grain of salt.

     

    Half Backs to replace Hibberd and Jetta:

    Ed Richards due to the plethora of half backs the dogs have; Johannisen as a short term fill

    Dan Houston and try get him back to VIC, Coffield as maybe a change of scenery would help him

    Eggmolesse-smith as a very cheap option for depth who has upside and skill

     

    Outside mids to support Langdon:

    Liam Duggan, Brayden Ham, Justin mcinerney, Oli Florent (long shot), petrevski-seton as a hybrid mid on the cheap to rejuvenate his career

     

    Ball use/forward of centre players:

    Jack Billings as a free agent, Rhylee west who we bid on when he was initially drafted who can't get a regular game, Ben Ainsworth, Kane Farrell, Petrucelle, Lachie Schultz, Luke Breust (2 year contract for the experience to help with kozzy, spargs and nibbla)

    I seriously rate Maynard. Collingwood would as well. He wont be cheap.

    Weid and Brisbane's second rounder would be a steal in my opinion.

    Boom! Thanks GNF. Many’s the slip between the cup and the lip of course  but massive if it pans out.

    Why does he want to leave Collingwood? Langdon wanted to come home totally different campaign in my eyes.

    Well... they have terribly handled their salary cap and jettisoned good players in their prime and apparently may need to do so again.

    They have an old playing list with most of their better players 27 years old with a heap of others over 30.

    Their coach just quit. 

    The board are infighting with a large spill on the cards.

    He is 24 and probably doesn't want to play his prime in a rebuilding side.

    Easy move to make in terms of where we play and train. Wants to play in a premiership.

    I think we should give Quinton Narkle a crack.

    Hopefully take advantage of Geelong's desire to top up with 30+ year olds and nab a guy who otherwise would be in their best 22.

    Has shown good signs at times and maybe a change of scenery would help.

    I think we should give Narkle a good 3 year contract.  But what trade bait can we offer?  Perhaps let’s look to trade out a player like Hibberd for Narkle.  Nothing against Hibbo.  He’s 31 so right in the Cats perrrrrrfect age bracket!?!?!

    I wouldn't be trading Hibbo he's proven Narkle isn't

    Sorry werridee. It was a joke. The point was Hibbo is 31. That’s the age bracket the cats like.

    Petrevski-Seton is an interesting one - probably gettable for a third rounder, horribly mismanaged by Carlton, ex pick 6 and only 23. Option on the wing and half forward - he's not really a defender or inside midfielder

    I really rated this kid early in his career but he's gone backwards tremendously.  He's horribly inconsistent.

    The only role I could see him playing for us would be a high half forward or wing which involves a lot of selfless running which I'm not sure he's the guy for.  Maybe a change of scenery & some better players/mentors would help.

    You're right with the trade value.  I wouldn't offer anything higher than a late third.

    Just re-visiting last years trade with the Lions which so far has been a win - in points value at least.

    We gave up:

    • 2021 first pick (currently 18 @ 985 points)
    • Pick 25 @ 756 points
    • Pick 68 @ 59 points 
    • Pick 69 @ 49 points 

    Total = 1849

    We received:

    • Pick 18 @ 985 points
    • Pick 19 @ 948 points
    • 2021 Lions second pick (currently 33 @ 563 points

    Total = 2,496.

    The difference of 650+/- rates to around pick 29.

    If NGA & Father Sons pop up our 2021 first pick that the Lions own may drop a few spots which makes the trade even more favourable.  Obviously if we drop a few games the difference will drop and the trade doesnt look as good.

    So as positive as this has been, it leaves us with bugger all trade currency with our first two picks currently sitting at 33 and 39.

    If we're keen to play in trade week, I definitely wouldn't be surprised to see someone like a Weid offered up

    So if the Maynard trade is on the table who/what do we give up?

    Vanders straight swap? maybe throw in Chandler/Bedford for an additional/improved draft pick?

    Keep trading forward next year's first until we look like sinking back down the ladder in the 2030s rebuild

    • 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.
