Where? Who would you drop? We are having difficulty getting Salem back in.

could take ANB spot or jordon's in a reshuffle. he will be a premier small forward for the next decade he's only 21 now. imagine he and kozzy together. essendon were the closest to securing him last year but now have 2x davey boys coming through as well as new recruit wanganeen so maybe less interest especially if tippa gets back up and running and the pies and you'd think would ask the question again as well as maybe hawthorn and NM. Honestly even sides like carlton and richmond who have small forwards would be upgrading if they got hill. genuinely not a single vic club he wouldnt improve

Maybe Hill will no longer want to leave GWS, with a new senior coach coming on board.

he wants to come closer to family with 2 young kids

    Peeved we didn’t chase Hill last year. He was the difference in two finals. 

    28% of Collingwood's goals this finals series.  In all sorts of different conditions.  He literally won them the flag.

    I thought he was a flake at GWS, certainly proved me wrong and stood up in big games. Great finals series from Hill.

    Why don't we just go to the police station in a big clown suit and show everyone exactly what we're doing.

    His hanger and goal was chef's kiss beautiful. Can't stand Collingwood but gotta respect that effort. Fair play to him, he had a massive day out yesterday and totally deserved the Norm.

    His performance yesterday plus the finals has catapulted him into elite status for small forwards of the competition.

    To then put on that performance yesterday in front of 100k is seriously impressive. 

    Hope Kozzie was watching.

    I also hope Goodwin was watching, it's amazing what happens when you have a player that stays around the forward line but it was also bad coaching from the lions who allowed their players to be drawn up the ground and allowing that, it's been the pies game plan all year keeping Hill or Elliot to play that role.

    Kudos to the prescient ones.

    Kudos to Turner for pushing this.

    At the same time, the Pies use their forwards and deliver to them at a much classier / effective level than we do (much of the time anyway).

    Plus they manage to clear out their forward line when they need to to get some of these one v ones going.

    Their ability to transition quickly plus then get the ball into the hands of dangerous finshers to deliver to these types and / or hit the scoreboard themselves on occasions is also probably the most effective going around right now.

    Simon would do well to take notice of their finals series here.

    It held up well under all sorts of pressure and their speedy transition, miserly team defence and quality forward craft ended up delivering them the ultimate prize.

    With the exception of the GF, games were played in their back half, so they defended brilliantly, but that meant heaps of space in behind the opposition when they eventually won the ball in space. That space enables dangerous forward entries.

    A fantastic approach to take if you have a rock solid defence, skilled and pacey players from the back half right through to the forward half and a coach who encourages an exciting offensively minded game style when you win the ball back. 

    Baffling that they won the Granny though!?

    They were so offensively minded, they won a GF by kicking 12 goals.

    Their ability to stay in games, particularly in the finals series, hinged on their ability to defend. Not their ability to attack.

    They managed 9 goals, 8 goals and 12 goals. What an offensive master-class! They won the flag due to their defence...

    You know what I reckon Collingwood do well? They 'extend' games. 

    Games that could be dead are kept alive thanks to their great rearguard and never say die attitude

    Yeah, they definitely take the game on. Their midfield cattle isn't great at winning contests, but N Daicos, if allowed to run from one end to the other and connect their play, has the ability to hit targets that open up the game. He's not the only Collingwood player that is an elite kick, but their better cattle for score generation is elite kicking. Our elite players for score generation tend to be our contested players who aren't elite kicks, but win contest after contest. A good system should play to the strengths of the list. But it always comes back to defence in big finals.

    I'd also love an NGA prospect like Quaynor. He's an out and out star. I recall him being beaten once by Cameron yesterday that led to that goal, but otherwise he and their defenders rarely lose contests behind the ball. He certainly doesn't.

    I'm certainly guilty of underrating their defenders and their capability to win crucial 1v1s.

    Quaynor would be the best 1v1 small defender going right now IMO.

    • 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.
