I think their window has now passed given their age demographic.  Cameron's choice of destination, given his age, is a very poor one imv.

Awesome ?

    Sad to see Gary Jnr end his career. Best player I’ve ever seen. Best player in the league from 2007-2014. 2 Browlows. 5 time MVP. 8 time All Australian.

    Congratulations Gary. Superstar!

    Pity he chased money. He would have at least one more flag bid wager he’d have 4 medals. 
    amazing player but why he went to Gold Coast in his prime only he can answer

    Very hard to split Dangermouse, paul newman and Cotchin for the best free kick of the game competition.

    But Jack won the best "look at me" award.....

    He’ll regret it if he doesn’t already. Be a millionaire at the cats and win more flags or get more money at the suns and play in front of 5K fans

    What struck me was the certainty hardwick had at half time that he had fixed the set up problems of the first half. Amazing. We are a mile off. Hope Yze and others can make a difference to our planning on the run.

    I had no idea!

    Mathews would be rubbed out of the game nowdays.

    I didn't like Lee at all... but please inform me, which one of those highlights would have resulted in Lee being rubbed out?

    Hats off to the Tigers, who I hate with a passion. Their work as a club and a team over the past 5 seasons is amazing. They won tonight with betteer team play, winning significant moments, and having Dusty wandering around outclassing everyone.

    Ablett jr: I put him up there with Matthews, Ablett snr, and Carey as the best players I have seen. And among this group, he is definitely the most complete. If you rated all the skills of th game, her would be 8.5+ for each of them. The others in my list rarely tackled, shepherded or did the defensive stuff. Ablett jnr did. Absolute star and footy is less for him leaving.

    Dusty is a freak. His kicking skills are up there with Jarman and Trav Johnstone. His balance and ability to stay on his feet whether running, marking, being tackled are magical. just so strong over the footy.

    On Dusty, I know a few people at Castlemaine FC (I grew up nearby) and I was talking to someone on the committee when Dusty was there. At 16yo, as training was finished, Dusty would be out there alone for another 1/2 half hour taking shots from all along the 50m arc, with both feet on the run and from set shot. They had to ask him to finish up to turn the lights out. At 17 you, he could beat many senior footballers one-on-one. Absolute gun - love watching him.

    But bl***y hell, if we don't win flag soon I'm going to explode. So tired of seeing every other half-arsed club and player winning flags.

    Anyone putting Dangerfield and Dusty in the same conversation need to stop. He is so far ahead. Danger had a poor game. Dusty loves the big stage

    hawkins is another who choked. Marked close to goal and played on for a snap? Take your time and take  the pressure

    Matthews was a vicious thug who played in an era that turned a blind eye to most of his work

    Melbourne have to get mentally tough and the way to do it ???????   A preseason with the Tigers is the answer.

    For those saying we passed on dusty, stop complaining. We didn't have any leadership back then like a cotchin to take under his wing and he would have left us years ago when we were a rabble. 

    He would have got so frustrated with us.

    I have to agree. As I said, I didn't like him, but the highlights stand!

    Tragic. We are now at the stage where we think we did well by not taking the best player.

    • 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?

      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.
