    To not go through the list of big egos that have won a flag and thus making me look silly.

    Would definitely get him to meet May at Entrecote to discuss a possible move.

    Not really a fan of Tex - best well behind him imo and may be a culture killer

    Contracted till end of 2023 at Swans I think but Joel Amartey is the guy I would be looking at - 197cm 100kg, can mark, kick and pretty mobile - with the right coaching and an opportunity could be a player

    I've shuddered in horror every time I've seen the 'Taylor Walker possible recruit' thread on the main page, so I'm looking for reassurance that there are better options out there.

    I'm keen to hear people's opinions on possible next key forward options for the Demons. It is clearly the next item on the list management, erm, management list. Respectable veterans slightly younger than our current ones to cover the impending hole? Mid-career club-switch prospects? Young key forwards who aren't getting games but could provide an honest contest?

    If I can figure out how to add a poll to the post later, I'll take in people's nominations and create a poll.

    So, who have people got an eye on for this essential part of any 'dynasty creation'?

    Walker would be a perfect fit right now.  But here is a bit of a left field trade scenario if, IF we can't keep Jackson.

    Melb Trade: Jackson & future 4th.  Recieve: J. Ugle-Hagen & First Round

    Freo Trade: Lobb & First Round.  Recieve: L. Jackson & Second Round

    Dogs Trade:  J. Ugle-Hagen & Second Round.  Recieve:  Lobb & Future 4th

    Dogs really want Lobb,  and apparently Jamarra isn't happy with not getting a game.  He is too good a talent and them chasing Lobb doesn't look good for him.  He would be a good prospect for our future teaming up with JVR.

    Obviously the picks would work out differently but just a rough idea.

    L Jackson for Ugle-Hagen

    That is a wonderfully ridiculous statement

    Jaheeezus H Chriiist, 

    More moves than I used to make in my "Golden" years on the Disco Dance floors at St. Peters, Powerhouse and the Bearcave Cauldron of anything goes in Caulfield F.C !!! All of course in the seventies and eighties!! 

    Back to trades..... Very Interesting!

    Hagen and a first rounder.  Don't get me wrong he was great for a 12min patch in the GF and is going to be a gun.

    Essentially, we get 2 first rounders for him which is what I'd expect

    Like I said would be different picks.  But they will have to give up something for lobb,  and I can't really see how ugle-hagen fits in with Darcy coming through and their reported interest in Lobb

    Like I said different picks,  I'm not going into futures and stuff.  I don't know enough about it all.  But they can't play Naughton, Bruce, Darcy, Ugle-Hagen and Lobb who they are reportedly very keen on.

    But Hagen is no good and That’s why he can’t get a game. 
    Anyway F all that. I want Jackson to stay

    Jack Watts was Tough compared to Ugle-Hagen

    Please don’t insult my intelligence

    The Dogs should throw in Schache, we're running low on marking bags

    Lobb is 30 before next season. Wouldn't logic tell you he's coming in to fill the gap while Jamarra and Darcy develop? No guarantee Darcy will end up a forward anyway.

    And that's ignoring  the fact your trade s extremely lopsided and the Dogs wouldn't do it in a million years.

    Ugle Hagen has Watts/Schache written all over him

    No he didn’t.

    Agree. He played a good 5 minutes (which of course will be forever apppreciated).

    Id argue that Gus was our best player during the 2nd & 3rd quarters. He was immense those 2 quarters, never dropped his head.

    Hagen is a no 1 draft pick who hadn't played footy for 2 years before he was drafted.  He will be fine.

    I want Jacko to stay to,  which is why this is a hypothetical.

    It was a good patch,  but i still think Vineys hand in that quarter was just as good.

    They have already said Darcy is going to play forward.  Even if he is a stop gap,  ya recon Ugle-Hagen is gonna play in the two's for another 3 years.  It's just an opportunity to get a good young fwd.  Like I said in the original post,  picks will be different but futures and stuff will come into it.  Too hard to do that

    LJ had a direct hand in one of our 7 goals by way of a beautiful clearance to Oliver. Every other goal was manufactured by others.

    Gus, Oliver, Fritta, Viney and Trac were epic in that quarter and it does my head in when people claim that we wouldn’t have won the GF without Jackson. It does a total disservice to his teammates.

    And Viney,  who had a hand in all those goals from centre clearances

    Jackson changed the entire momentum of the game. Yes Viney was huge as well, but it was Jackson who denied The Bulldogs any touches of the Ball when he went into the Ruck so that we had total Domination 

    Ugle-Hagen has done nothing, regardless of what Luke Darcy keeps saying

    No he didn't, and even the players and goodwin say it was viney's stoppage work that set up harms that swung momentum.

    Even those goals at the end, Jackson lost both those taps and viney got both the clearances. 

    Not too many 20yo key fwds have done much at thise stage of their career.

    • 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.
