So out of this list, Jones retires; Weid possibly traded and question marks over Neita, Bradtke, M Brown, Baker, AVB and Chandler.

That would be 8 changes in all. I don't think we've got the trade/draft currency for that many changes. Maybe 4-5 in all I'd reckon. Jones now retired, Jetta may retire as well.  So I'd think that there may be three from the list above to leave the club. Maybe Neita, Bradtke and one of AVB or M Brown (assuming Weid stays). I think Baker and Chandler will have belting pre-seasons coming up,  having experienced this finals series and wanting to be a part of the next one, I can't see we'd trade either.

I agree I think we will make the minimum of changes. Jetta and Jones to retire and Weid traded. The rookies Mitch Brown will retire and Neitschke will get the chop and Declase and Turner will take their place. I think that's how it works otherwise they would be getting 2 new rookies every season. Bradtke to also get the chop.

    No 26 is controversially No 44 Joel Smith 3 games 0 goals thought he would be emergency but he's not so he is probably No 32 and the rest go up 1. Injury prone all year doing his medial but broke into the team late in the year only to hurt his hamstring forcing him out of the last 2 finals.

    No 24 is No 29 Jayden Hunt 20 games 2 goals. The hard luck story of the team. Injured late in the year and couldn't regain his spot in the team due to Hibberd's form.

    No 19 is No 6 Luke Jackson 24 games 16 goals. Rising Star winner and I think the second best ruck going around.

    13 is No 30 Alex Neal-Bullen 25 games 15 goals. Was on the trade table at the start of the year and turned it around to become one of the best half forwards in the game.

    12 is No 36 Kysaiah Pickett 25 games 40 goals Electrifying all year unlucky not to get goal of the year. Poor grand final but he can't play well every game.

    11 is No 25 Tom McDonald 23 games 33 goals. On the scrap heap at the start of the year but a new diet and fitness regime turn his season around.

    • 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.
