My hopes are Ben Brown gets done as early as possible and we get a sneaky Tom Phillips from the maggies on the cheap in the closing minutes.

    Ben Brown done

    a 1st round pick done or the draft picks in hand obviously outlining our intentions to secure one

    official word of APhillips trade or commitment as a DFA

    one of TPhillips, Narkle, CCox in a trade

    only then will i be satisfied ?

    Tmac, Omac, Avb, ANB all traded out

    If we lost them all out, what players will there be left to bag @olisik?

    Viney, Jones, Smith, Spargo, Fritta, Harmes, and Lever probably all next in the firing line I would imagine. Fans will never fail to find someone else to bag.

    Joel Smith, though hopefully he also is traded

    Ben Brown trade done early.

    Andrew Phillips trade done for one of our picks in the 60's.

    Bundle some of our picks to the Bulldogs for an upgrade to a 1st Round Pick.

    Word that we're committed to taking Marley Williams as a DFA.

    Would be happy to hear of a trade for Tom McDonald or ANB out, but will live if it doesn't happen.

    Brown for whatever, I'm not too fussed about haggling over a few draft spots in a draft that becomes guesswork within the first round.

    Seems like the major concern is how efficiently we can move players out, rather than in.  I would of course still be sad to see Tom McDonald go but his salary leaves with him and unfortunately that matters.

    Picks in the 50s or even 60s for the 'respectfully moved on with best wishes' players is fine.

    This Marley Williams whisper keeps appearing. Where’s it coming from ?

    Unsure about Tmcd.  Happy to see Tmcd stay or go. If he goes, 1- try to use the pick to get Narkle. 2- need Andrew Phillips from Bombers (save ourselves $450k a year) for a future 4th round. But I’m tipping Tmcd stays. 
     

    Really want

    1- Ben Brown - MFC pick 31 and pick 68 to Kangas 

    2- Dogs pick 14 - swap for MFC pick 26,33. Gets Dogs 1290 points  

    ### End up with 3 picks 14, 43 , 50. ###

    not too fussed about getting into the first round this year. such a compromised draft and no combine etc means it will be hard to know who the quality picks are outside of the top 10.  keep some second rounders and hope for a gem

    Get brown and a back up ruck.

    then win the flag.

    In all honesty I haven't seen it anywhere outside of this site. I mentioned him after he was delisted and have seen one or two other posters mention his name in whispers.

    But he does make sense IMO. Seasoned 27 year old small defender/HB with a bit of pace and good kicking skills. Kind of what we need.

    A shock move out of the blue that hasn't been rumoured about or known well in advance....  like how it happens in every other sport in the world.

    I know thats high hopes for the world of AFL where the players/AFLPA control everything but you never know.

    Getting more picks in 2021 draft, apparently shaping up to be one of the best in while, almost super.

    It’s all whispers and hearsay.  The 2021 draftees are mostly unknown outside of some under 16 championship games and the WA and SA colts league this year.  I think the. Super draft of 2021 is certainly not yet a known factor.

    Don't think, do!

    Pretty underwhelming to date. I'm a big believer that we lack depth. We need to get rid of the NQR's and those that are cooked and replace them with either ready made players or those with potential to make the grade.

    I'm sorry but if guys like Oskar Baker , Joel Smith, et al play more than five games next year we are stuffed!

    Pick 31 for Ben Brown

    Pick 26, 33, 50 for Bulldogs pick 14 and future 4th

    Parma, chips and pint at the pub. Should be a good day.

    would rather cedric cox at 22yo with more upside tbh.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
