Anyone watching Tex today is gonna have to think twice about not wanting him at the dees. He’s destroying us… with some help from the umps.

Ben Brown used to do the same. Hasn’t gotten a free kick since he’s been at Melbourne. 
At least he isn’t a [censored] human. 

Walker can shove his walking stick .................................................................

I literally can’t stand him. Rationally he might be great for us. Irrationally I want to throw up at the thought of this man lining up in red and blue. 


 

Our core business is winning at footy, with that in mind we have a need to get into bed with the Texan.

I disagree, from a business perspective our goal is to build our supporter base and thus our market share.

I can't see Tex bringing any supporters with him.

Bluey you are correct completely.  I'll barto is wrong. Let's get in board or into bed whichever is more fruitful with the Texan  and love him as one of our Demon youngsters if he improves our team.

Can confirm his Gran has put an offer in on a house in Cranbourne East. Make of this what you will. 

She wants to watch him train once a week at Casey Fields, and maybe play there also !!! 

Get her a bus to the G if Tex Makes  it at the Dees Plus a cheeseboard and the premiership Shiraz or the Demon Gin. 

Geez, they still love him over there. Could be a culture killer for us though. If we did pick him up I'd live with it if I knew we could afford to drop him after the preliminary final so he couldn't win a premiership medal. 


Fail to see why he'd be a culture killer. The Hawks recruited a 20kg overweight Stewie Dew, and he was largely responsible for winning them a flag.

If it was anybody else playing this way, we would be begging to get him.

His football is very good, everything else leaves a bit to be desired - although I think he would be a long way from the only one acting in the way he is, just unfortunately all happened very publicly for him (Lever, indigenous boys etc)

How are they comparable?

 

I see the allure of a Walker. But the intangibles really worry me within what this team has built. Do we ask the leaders to manage another DH? Honestly, ask me again in 3 months after watching this forward line…

I can’t stand the guy but the groundsmen at Casey would love him because they wouldn’t have to water the turf as often with the amount of phlegm and saliva he expels.🙄

Stewie Dew clearly didn't worry about his diet like a professional sportsman should.

Whilst you may not forgive Tex for his prior indiscretions, maybe the Melbourne players don't see themselves as perfect, and are more forgiving.

Would be very easy to get Walker into the Club. Just need to word the Contract very carefully. 
Any indiscretions and the deal is null and void. 
Ben Cousins lasted 2 years at Richmond, Walker isn’t at that level

Tex is a highly skilful player, I love watching him play regardless what most think of him outside footy. He’s played some great footy over the last couple of years. I’d gladly take him.

Tex and Lever get along well from memory?

How times have changed 

Would be worth getting him just to watch Crows fans heads explode

I fully endorse this level of irrational crazy

Perhaps we could ask Jake Lever if he could give Tex a reference?

They were having a long friendly chat after the game on Saturday...

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
