This seems a silly thread to me. We clearly have the best 25 players going around in the competition and none of the suggested players would get a game in our team. You guys are just wanting to improve Casey!

    I don't know his contract situation but I'd be having a word to Tim Taranto. I remember reading he had to be talked out of getting a MFC tattoo in the year of his draft. He's coming into his prime.

    The best thing is none of our good players are being linked to other clubs. What a change from 8 years ago when most free agents would leave 

    Love to Roosy and PJ

    They'd have Cripps, McKay, Weitering, Walsh, Saad, Williams and Martin chewing up a fair chunk of the cap.

    Warms the cockles of your heart, doesn't it.

    Think he is from Werribee? Choco may need to have a little word.

    Chocco: “Hi, I heard you’re from Werribee”

    Riccardi: “Yep” 

    Chocco: “Same here”

    Matched only by a thread about the permutations and predictions of how we can sneak into the 8.

    Green will go to Richmond if anywhere. His grandfather Michael is in Tigers team of the Century and won 4 flags.

    If their price was affordable, I'd target Hopper and Taranto too. If Clarry or Petracca goes down, our midfield will really struggle. Need to add more here and both are 24 and 23 respectively. A good age for the demographic of our list.

    Thought we nominated him but it was Carlton.

    We actually Nominated him before Jackson to trigger GWS into matching the bid.

    So i would say if he was interested in coming back to Vic it would be with the Dees.

    We didn't bid

    Maynard in, Rivers to the midfield is more viable

    Hopper and Taranto, and to a lesser extent Green have all shown they can win clearances and run the midfield. I think Rivers will be a star, but we're not sure if that'll be in the back half or in the midfield. The aforementioned players have looked contested beasts from just about the moment they stepped into the league.

    Hopper is a beauty. I'd 100% go after him.

    Yes fair points. Hopper I rate really highly, don't think he gets as much appreciation as he should. Taranto I feel is the opposite. He hates a handball and constantly burns team mates instead of giving off the first option.

    Feel like long term Rivers could be a really good mid as he has a fairly strong outside game so isn't limited to being a centre bounce only player.

    Yeah, don't get me wrong about Rivers. He could well be an absolute gun in the midfield and provide us with a good kicking decision maker who is a bit more outside, but can win the contested ball when required.

    I'd prefer Hopper over Taranto, but I wouldn't sneeze at Taranto if he wanted to move to his spiritual home. ;)

    Something has to fall out of the GWS tree this year.  Signing Kelly to multi year $M contract along with Greene, Coniglio and Whitfield, means there is not much left on the table other than scraps.....something has to give.

    It's interesting. I'd absolutely pillage GWS. Their talent is amazing. Whereas, the Suns, not so much. I'd only be interested in Miller or King, and maybe Greenwood at a pinch.

    Surely they'll ship off Cogs.

    Hopper is rumoured to be re-signing a 2 year deal

    Unless he wants to go, it's not a great look shipping off your captain.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
