Some interesting names have popped up.

Jason Johannison is reportedly put off contract talks at the end of the year and most likely on the move. Could be a cheap option for some outside speed and class.

Darcy Gardiner is a 26 year old defender who could take Petty's if we're potentially looking at moving him forward going into next year.

Also wouldn't be surprised if we end up shopping James Harmes at the end of the year. Still 3 years to go on his 5 year contract that he signed back in 2019. So whether ths club wants to clear some extra cap space on top of Jackson potentially leaving.

    Surely no one is taking Harmes?

    Bunch of clubs would have him. Even if there is a bit of ‘Heffernan, Blumfield, Caracella’ to him - he is a flag winning role player who is tough and kicks goals. Apparently quite coachable, loves the club, and you’d probably want to keep him for the right price…

    Jamie Elliot? A free agent so would cost nothing and could be a good addition to our forward line.

    Had a real dip at Elliot  4 years ago Would fit into our forward line and can kick!

    Balta is 22. The tigers aren’t going to trade a 22 year old for picks unless it’s a crazy offer.

    He’s also not an upgrade on LJ in the forward/ruck role. He’s played a big chunk of the year as a forward and hasn’t kicked multiple goals since round 3. Obviously Jacko’s not lighting it up forward either but he makes far more of an impact in the ruck and has his moments as a tall target.

    He’s a key defender getting a run as a forward because Grimes, Tarrant, Broad and often Gibcus are down back. 

    Balta, from what I've seen is not much of a forward.

    If I was the Tiges I would swap him with Gibcus who has some forward skills but hopefully they won't figure that one out.

    Don't have the midfield depth to cover Harmes unless one of Howes or Woewodin explode in the preseason and demand a game

    I reckon harmes is pretty popular within the group and worth keeping for culture reasons. Very handy if we need a tagging role as well because he still tends to win his own ball as well as shutting someone down. 
     

    hope someone goes to Andy brayshaw tomorrow because I think if they win that it’ll seriously limit the dockers. 
     

    in terms of targets I’d be looking closely at mclean from the swans, jack Gunston from the hawks and Karl Amon is another we have been linked to. 
     

    unsure what a Luke Jackson trade looks like but given his potential And the dockers financial investment I imagine it’ll be a steep asking price

    Why would we want to open more cap space up if Jackson is leaving? He'll open more than enough, surely? And Harmes wouldn't be on big money.

    The fact that Harmes was an absolutely dyed in the wool Demons supporter growing up, might just keep him at the club.

    He's also a popular player that can tag and win his own footy as others have said.

    Keeping him around seems a similar sort of move to Gus. Important.

    There was a rumour a few weeks back that Richmond and North were talking to him about extended deals. Weirdly specific so felt there might be some truth to it

    Johannison may have pace, but class is something he certainly doesn’t have

    Kick-started our revival in the GF.  For that reason alone im happy to see him stay.

    I will never be able to thank the players enough for that feeling of winning a cup.

    Fall?, he never had any class. 
     

    He just runs and kicks inaccurately. How he was awarded a Norm Smith over Boyd, Picken, Kennedy and McRae is beyond me

    I reckon we will look at any talls available, def/fwd/ruck. Based on the below we need two rucks, one to develop and one to play 2nd ruck who can play fwd. And we need 2 fwds. If we cannot land quality fwds, we may need to recruit a tall back and look to play Petty fwd

    We have

    • B Brown (injury and age an issue)
    • T Mac (injury and age an issue)
    • Weideman (depth only, not best 22)
    • M Brown - delist
    • JVR - young kid, got potential
    • May (quality but 31yo starting next season)
    • Lever (quality and only 26)
    • Petty (quality and only 22)
    • Tomlinson (good defensive depth)
    • Turner (young kid, got potential)
    • Gawn (GOAT but 31yo at season start 2023)
    • Jackson - may not be at the club

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
