Can you play all of Brown, Tmac, Jackson, Fritsch, Gunston in the same forward line?

Gunston is an absolute jet but IMO we already have our Gunston in Fritsch. Gunston might be cooked as well he has missed the entire year pretty much with a back injury, which is pretty bad especially for an older player. I'd like to see Fritsch drift higher up the ground more like Gunston does, his field kicking exquisite, especially going inside 50 always lowers his eyes.

Agreed, I'd be looking for another small to pair with Kozzie rather than an aging tall

    Interesting that during the Demonland podcast Pert was talking about having conversations with players wanting to come here. Said it is very different to previous years and players were saying 'If I've only got a few years left Melbourne is a club I'd like to go to'.

    It may have been an off the cuff comment but I wonder if we are looking at someone like Gunston or Bruest who won't be there when the Hawks are successful again

    Wouldn’t mind us having a crack at Pendles on a Lewis like deal. 2 years on a playing/coaching role. Might help clean up our midfield decision making

    29 at the start of next year and the Swans would demand the world for him.

    Weid (valued at: pick 30)
    Pick 31 (tied to Bris)
    Pick 54
    Total points value - 1455, equivalent to pick 10 
    In exchange for Brayden Maynard.

    Remaining assets to trade into the 2021 draft:

    Pick 38 (tied to Hawks) 
    Future 2022 1st round draft pick (Melb) - will be assumed to be pick 18 by opposition to cover worst case scenario (in their eyes)
    Total points value 1450 - equivalent to pick 10

    I don’t think he can put contract talks on hold considering he's still contract until the end of 2022.

    Collingwood could be trying to extend / re negotiate his contract on a back ended deal, that seems to have worked well for them lately.

    All I’ve heard at this stage is that Barrass from WCE to Sydney Swans will get done on compassionate grounds, and I find it very hard to believe, however, I’m hearing that Harmes is not happy with his “role” at the Dees and will entertain trade talks at end of year.

    Fair enough. 

    On Harmes, not sure how this can be possible? He's being playing pure mid or close enough to it the last couple games, at the expense of Viney's additional forward time.

    losing harmes wouldnt be a bad thing at all for our guts, get gus on the inside and go for that lipinski type on the wing and get more games into jordon/sparrow who are just as capable. would be relatively surprised tho as he is a dees fan since childhood and he's got the big LT deal sorted and he'd definitely like the offfield shenanigans that we know go on

    also on barrass, wouldn't be such a loss for the eagles either Hedwards looks a real type at over 200cm and they've still got mcgovern, nelson etc in the short term obviously barrass is a serious star player but if any side has the defensive depth to not notice it'd be the weagles. not sure how the swans pay him tho given their public issues on the coin front especially given aliir just made way in that same role

    I'm not a massive fan of Harmes as a player, but he's had so many mixed messages (right or wrong) from Goodwin over the last 2 years and has been frustrated most of that time. Clearly played out of position last year, this year was put more into a role that suits his strengths but was then given very specific instructions on how to play it and what to do; which made it more complicated - and let's be honest, he's the kind of player who needs it simple - and I wouldn't be surprised if that's had an impact on this apparent want for a trade. He was very very close to requesting a trade last year but Yze smoothed things over, as he's done with a lot of players, and he was swayed.

    I know Harmes and Goody sometimes have had their moments, but you can't underestimate how much he and his family are invested in the club so I'd be somewhat surprised if a trade did eventuate; although not totally disappointed tbh.

    Great Intel mate.

    Unfortunately his old man passed away back in March.

    Huge get for the Swans..

    It would be disappointing if Harmes has not accepted his role especially as so many others have accepted changes.  The most obvious example is Gus.  Not only has he accepted the wing role he has embraced it and is a real asset to the team.  Viney is spending time fwd,  Oliver is playing a bit more outside etc.  The irony is that all those role tweaks/changes enable Harmes to spend more time in the middle.  

    Harmes came as a life long dees fan, a rookie, made a real go of it and earnt a long term contract.  It would be sad for him to go.  He still has a few years to go on his contract so I guess it is his choice to play the team game or to move on.

    I’m intrigued Nev, what moments do you know they’ve had?

    • 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.
