Going by the Brownlow the top 50 midfielders are the top 70 players in the league and include ruckmen and wingers?

    Can’t we have both ?😌

    Why not, we have no idea what our salary cap pressure is, if we can fit him in the cap with out risking losing key players you get him.  The best thing about our side is the age demographic, not to many players that will play on Saturday that won't play for another 4-5+ years.

    Well if this morning's news on the AFL site is correct, we know Weideman won't be part of any trade for Cerra.

    Still won't rule out the club being able to get it done though if he nominates us.

    With Carlton announcing their coach now wonder if this now plays a huge part in Cerra’s decision. 

  • Quote

    I'm a big fan of this kid but I have never been confident of this happening.  

    I've always thought he would be holding off making his announcement until the new coach of Carlton has been named.  Going to a new club without a coach named just reeks of either a fat contract that's too good to be true or a player desperate to get out of his existing club foe certain reasons. 

    So its not something that Fremantle would want or he would want to be seen doing.  I'm sure they're both in agreeance here.

    Now that Voss has been named, I'm just waiting for his confirmation to the press along the usual lines of "I've spoke with Vossy and I'm super excited with his plans for the Carlton Football Club and his vision for the future.  It's something I want to be a part of"

    I've heard he's as good as ours from someone who would know (for whatever that's worth)

    I have heard the same. But have no idea what we are planning to give up.

    we're either going to be incredibly cheeky with picks to get 1-2 really good picks somehow, or we may have 1-2 players we think may be willing to go to Freo

    You mean that person “knows” that he will nominate us. I am pretty certain no deal has been done with Freo yet.

    I was told of two young players who may be involved in trades (neither are locks in our best 22, no-one from the 2019 draft trio)

    Take it with a grain of salt however, just passing on the message

    are we talking like James Jordan/Tom Sparrow type players?

    Wouldn't we just give them a future first rounder and possibly a second rounder?

    I sincerely hope not as I rate these 2.

    But the reality is if Cerra does nominate us it's likely it will be those types....

    Part of me then hopes Cerra doesn't nominate us as I do t want to see these guys leave unless they wanted to move anyway. Which there could be a chance for Sparrow being a SA boy.

    I still think Tom resigning points to us getting Cerra

    It was a very strange time to do an albeit excellent contract extension if they didn’t need early bargaining chips

    Are these of the Chandler/Bedford/Baker variety?  I'd be loathe to see Jordon or Sparrow go. Jordon's been very good this year and Sparrow has gone up a gear in finals which is exactly what we want (c.f. Gary Rohan).

    Unfortunately, to win flags you have to be ruthless. 

    If giving up Sparrow and Jordan for picks to help land Cerra is on then it's a no brainer.

    Cerra would be unbelievable for us. He is a top 5 pick pick and I watched him multiple times live in his draft year. We're in our window now so ruthless decisions have to be made. 

    Not sure why anyone would be upset to lose Sparrow/Jordan if it meant we could get Cerra.

    I wouldn't. I know both Sparrow and Jordon are rated extremely highly internally, but Cerra is better then them.

    Every year you need to find ways to better your list.

    Getting Cerra makes our list significantly better.

    I wouldn’t like to lose Sparrow or JJ. Not sure either of them would be keen on a move either. 
    On the other hand if one of them is keen on a move and we can somehow land Cerra and keep a half decent draft pick this year then I’d back JT to pick up another similar player in this years draft. He seems to have an eye for inside mids.

    Any chance we can get Freo to pay part of his salary going forward if he comes to us..? ;)

    aka Treloar at Doggies..

    He would already get less $ from Melbourne than Carlton.....Freo will definitely not be paying ANY part of his new wages lol.

    I don't doubt Cerra is a talented player.

    For me it's about role and team balance. Petracca has publically praised both Spaz and Jordan as allowing him to be a better player for the roles they play on the team. 

    Will be interesting to see where Cerra fits in the team if he does come.

    For me it all depends on the price we need to pay Freo and how it affects the team. But I will say I trust out FD, if we are chasing Cerra there is a good reason for it.

    Interesting times.

    • 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.
