Some intern there needs to get a life. 

You have mixed up posts. Alpha 33 said he had a headache, not Demon Disciple.

This misquoting is giving me a headache.

    Cornes isn't backing down on the Kozzie rumour (which he made up). He now believes Kozzie will move to an S.A team in 2023 saying what Lamb said yesterday was 'a lie'.

    Brisbane get 35 (522pts) as compensation for McStay, I bet they were hoping for end of first round 19 (942pts) for points.

    Effectively free? That's not really how the TPP cap works, Marc.

    The said tweet was clearly in regards to the deal of draft picks.

    You have taken the word “free” totally out of context.

    Kindly name one player who has played for “free” since 1990.

    Welcome Grundy! 🤞

    Pick 27 for a Salary Dump is a fair trade

    Can future picks be used for their points value. 

    what point value? they don't yet even have a pick number, just a range

    Nah we have two headaches on this page, possibly more.

    This was in reference to the mega trade idea.

    Carlton get compo pick 49, for a 31 year old, who retired, rather than accept an AFL Covid Vaccination ruling, while we get 53, for a 27 year old, who played 40 games in the last two years and has signed a 3 year deal with another club.

    Surely the compo can't be in the same round for those two situations.

    This stinks to high heaven.

    So it seems some commentators and journalists do the bidding of some clubs. I can't find any other reason to insists on this baseless rumour.

    Jones surely a lot more money, which is a worry for the dogs. But you’re right, 31 year should get nothing. Retired player nothing too.

    And the picks should be giving at ends and middles of round then only ordered in ladder order from there if multiple picks are in the same band.

    Face saving exercise?

    Cal stating we are "anticipated" to use only 2 picks on the national draft and will offer 27 to the pies for Grundy.

    Perhaps a reflection that this is a weaker draft - also that we went for it somewhat last year and have enough younger players coming through.

  • Quote

    Yeah I think it's likely we will trade our future first from next year to snare a best 22 player or to combine with Jackson comp to get as high up the draft as we can.  As Lamb said - we are in "win now" mode.  Future draft picks are irrelevant regardless of the quality of next year's draft.

    If we are only using 2 picks I would think they will be very high picks. I expect us to be aggressive in trying to get our trading done early to give us the best possible chance of moving up the board. 
    I wonder if the JHF to Port has made it more urgent to get our deals done. I assume North will want at least one pick at the very pointing end of this years draft to be part of the deal. Given how difficult top 7 picks are to trade for JHF trade could make the market a lot more competitive.

    I thought the same 

    Hunt went for effectively “absolutely nothing in return” !!!

    Do we have any updated national draft predictiors? Or is that only done after the combines are completed. 
     

    Im interested to find out the expected trade order and when the two (quality rated) KPF are expected to go based on the list needs of clubs. I think everyone of the top 8 picks can make a play for getting their hands on a KPF, but it just depends on whether they have bigger priorities.

    • 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.
