Not surprised by that. He's far more trouble than he's worth and hasn't played a decent game of football in years.

    I listened to the post interview discussion and fan call in which centred mainly on Stephenson.

    He didn’t disclose anything new regarding Treloar other than it’ll be difficult to bring players in unless he is moved out.

    Doesn’t sound like they are interested in TMac.

    No mention of Tom Phillips

    There was a reference to the first round pick being on the table. Didn’t catch whether this years or next.

    It is their 2021 first round pick (so that the points aren't used for their F/S (Daicos) next year). 

    It may be a good bet for a club to take.  I expect them to slide down the ladder and probably out of the 8.  Also, 2021 is said to be a very good draft without so many compromised picks as this year.

    I didn't catch while listening but I’ve googled and found this on fox sports. Pretty sure this is what they were talking about. 

     PIES’ KEY 2021 PICK ON THE TABLE

    Collingwood are reportedly open to parting with their 2021 first-round draft pick, in another sign the club is set to be one of the most active this trade period.

    Foxfooty.com.au has confirmed AFL Media‘s report that the Pies would be willing to deal for its future first-round selection, given the club is set to pickup father-son prodigy Nick Daicos, who could go with pick No.1.

    I wonder whether this year's and next year's 2nds for the Pies 2021 1st would be a good deal for us?

    They must be poorly paid at the bulldogs if that is a substantial increase on his current contract as has been reported. 

    Edit:  Browne's info suspect again!  Sam Edmond seems to have a better grapevine:  “The reason he is considering leaving - he’s been sold the massive midfield dream. The lure of that, plus a big contract that conservatively speaking is worth $700,000 a season and playing with his brother Kyle is unbelievable".  From Fox news.

    what midfield dream would that be? the one that has an ongoing disconnect with its forwardline?

    I would do it!  The good thing about including next years 2nd is it gives them some points for Daicos who is touted to be top 5 so they will need a lot of points to get him.

    I'm guessing a few club's will have their eye on the pies 2021 1st.

    "It was really good that Ben Brown has selected Meloburne as the club he'd like to play for. We have had a couple of preliminary discussions with North Melbourne. We don't think it will be a first round pick. There's been a few picks and players discussed so far" - Josh Mahoney

    Mahoney interview:

    • Ben Brown:  Started trade conversation with North and deal will get done in next 10 days.  Had some discussions around picks/players.  It won't be a first round pick. 
    • Tom McDonald:  Ben Brown changes role for Tom.  Came back a bit heavy after covid.  Club has had no discussions with other clubs yet.  Asked Tom and his manager to look around and will see how that goes.
    • Oscar McDonald:   Conversation was side tracked before Mahoney answered it...
    • Preuss:  Only one conversation so far (with GWS). 
    • Looking for a ruck back up either in the trade period or off-season (which I assume means the rookie draft or the Preseason Selections).
    • Recap on trading out this year's first round pick to North, last year.
    • His new GM role - not much new to what we know. 
    • Treloar would be handy but unlikely to be able to get him.  Sounded very unlikely.
    • Phillips would be handy and we may look at him on the wing but happy to look at internal candidates.
    • Jones didn't want 2021 to be a token year.  300 not the driver for the contract.  Is doing some coaching.

    Whoever was interviewing seemed more interested in getting through his list of questions than exploring any of the above.  Very frustrating.  I really wanted to hear the update on Oscar.

    Just listening to Mahoney.

    My take:

    We’re in for Phillips

    Treloar unlikely but he didn't rule it out. Gave the impression a lot will need to play out to make it possible.

    Good write up Lucifer.

    Won't be first rounder for Brown. Few picks and players discussed.

    Treloar sounded very unlikely.

    Philips not sure, as Josh keeps spriuking the internal candidates to fill the wing role line.

    He also mentioned during discussion of future first trade with North for Pickett that we would like to move our first pick of 25 higher if possible. Always wanting to get a higher position in the draft.

    Thank you very much for summary.

    I listened for first half, but Matt Rendell's interview style was so irritating I turned it off.

    Is that who it was!  I also found his style very irritating.   I thought Barrett was much better.  At least he gave people time to answer the questions.

    Reckon we’re definitely in for Phillips after listening to Mahoney

    • 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.
