Not as newsworthy as some of the headline stuff they’ve been publishing of late but here are some snippets from the HUN’s online paper about players going around the traps

Mark Jamar Doncaster

The former AFL big man will combine with ex-Melbourne teammate Jake Spencer at the Sharks this season, to form arguably the Eastern league’s most dangerous ruck combination. Jamar played 155 games for Melbourne from 2002-2015 before five with Essendon in 2016. He earned All Australian selection in 2010. The 38-year-old spent the past three seasons with Sunraysia league outfit, Ouyen United

Matt Jones South Croydon

The ex-Melbourne midfielder lands back in the Eastern league after a season with Ovens and Murray league club, Wangaratta Rovers. The Bulldog favourite has featured in three senior premierships at the club, including the 2017 top division triumph, and will be a big lifter through the midfield

Brock McLean Tongala 

The former Melbourne and Carlton midfielder has made a regional switch from Shepparton United to Tongala. He was an impressive performer in the Goulburn Valley league and adds another layer of quality to the Blues’ midfield.

Josh Tynan St Kevins 

The former Demon arrives at Skob from Essendon VFL, which is where he came to know new St Kevin’s coach Anthony “Plugger’’ Lynch. Tynan, 28, now works for Lynch and he’ll play football under him too. The versatile right-footer played two games for Melbourne in 2012 after being drafted from Gippsland Power and also had VFL stints at Frankston, Port Melbourne and the Bombers. He’ll be a good VAFA Premier player and a popular clubman.

Aaron vandenBerg Old Xaverians

The game got a little harder for opponents of Old Xaverians in VAFA Premier when vandenBerg joined the club. The 28-year-old retired after Melbourne’s AFL premiership. His contribution to the campaign was four games, taking his tally up to 47 after making his debut in Round 1 of 2015. No doubt it would have been quite a few more if not for injuries

    • 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.
