Saints apparently interested and his mother works there

"Have you got your keys?"

"Ohhhh, mum."

"Ohhh, mum."

"Have you got everything? Socks? Boots? Take some extra money just in case. Do you need a towel?"

    A friend bumped into Karl's father during the St Kilda & Port game last weekend. He gave a sneaky hint that Saints are the destination of choice and I believe he supported the Saints growing up.

    Would be a very good get. Anyone that doesn't rate him doesn't watch Port (completely understandable).

    He's a damn good player - finished 4th in Port's B&F last year, and top 10 in 2020 as well.

    This was from Ports game review thread last night. Obviously a small sample size, but I always find what opposition supporters say about their own players to be reasonably insightful.

    (in a non trade-week sense when everyone is worth 2 first rounders)  

    Amon - couple of average moments but his kicking absolutely cut the dogs to shreds last night

    Thought Amon broke the game open with some beautiful ball movement

    Amon has his laser boot back.

    Amon very good with some real pin point passes that cut the Dogs up

    My biggest and only negative apart from goal kicking.
    Does Amon look and playing disinterested?

    Really good player, I think there is every chance he goes to the Saints, but glad we're in the conversation. 

    If you can slot him in on the wing opposite Langdon and push Brayshaw back into the midfield rotation i think that greatly improves the team

    Depends if he’s interested in winning a flag or not.

    Only really seen him play a bit,  not paid much attention to the kind of player he is, if he isn’t guaranteed a starting 22 spot, would he want to come to the club?

    If we got him, who would he replace in the best 22?

     

    Not sure about 22 but would replace Baker on the list. Similar situation to Dunstan, securing depth.

    Actually I've under-rated him, would probably push out Jordon or take Brayshaws spot if he leaves. Didn't realise he was only 26 still a few good years left you'd think.

    If we do land him , some dominoes in the 22 reqd as he is too talented as ‘depth’.

    IMV he either takes Gus’s role on the wing and Gus either moves down to HB or the midfield rotation. Puts the heat on JJ, Harmes and Sparrow.

    Option 2, he moves to HF to mix it with Spargs, Kozzy and ANB. For me it’s a direct upgrade on ANB’s current role. ANB can then moved into the midfield rotation at the expense of players above or stay in the forward rotation as a pressure forward.

    Ultimately gives us lots of options to reshuffle and improve the 22. Biggest and obvious issue is salary cap space. Just cannot see it getting done with the current cap . Possibly a move to to keep ahead on the LJ front and/or tactics to keep Brayshaw’s mgt honest.

    Amon has too run a lot more both ways to impress me as a genuine winger  those heat maps show him around the same area,  that is my point  

    Not hugely damaging in his present role

    Have you seen Langdon’s heat maps? That’s where wingers get the ball. Teams aren’t going to let wing men just rack it up in the forward half

    Going to be a lot easier to convince Gus and Jackson to stay for unders than it is matching market rate on a guy who’s likely to move.

    If Jacko goes home or Gus wants a different role and a big pay day then that’s another question. Amon would be a good back up.

    Unless his primary motive is to win a flag , and the opportunities that being a premiership player may bring him.

    Would think that we could fashion a Salem/ Daniel Rich  role from half back or wing or even centre. With our superior development and coaching. 
    Or would he be more damaging as a half forward?

    • 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.
