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 Tomlinson will be on the move

Surely no one is taking Harmes?

I think there'd certainly be a few suitors.

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.

Harmes is a very handy player...I hope we hold him.

He will be missed tomorrow night 

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

100% I love his work.

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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
