The Trading & Drafting to Get Back on Track Board is LIVE


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Hibbo and Melksham can offer a lot for our younger brigade and could play a lot of footy at Casey. I am thinking that JVR, Howes, Chandler, Bedford, Bowey, Woewodin and whoever we bring in via trade and draft will have a big say in wether they get the chance to play many games. We really need to blood all of the above.!!

Being reported today that both Melksham and Hibberd will get another year. 

If so, it reflects the ongoing ultraconservatism in our selection regimen.

Dynasties are built on continuing renewal

Always feels like we never have players nominating Melbourne as their preferred club for trades.

Last one I think was BBB in 2019.

Lever, May, Langdon, Ben Brown, Dunstan. 4 were vital elements of our premiership team.

Dunstan

Reminds me of the Life Of Brian skit about the Romans:

Recently, no players ever nominate Melbourne as their preferred destination, because why would they!

What about Langers?

Ok, i'll give you Langers - except for that metrosexual, no player nominated Melbourne as their preferred destination  !

Dunstan?

What? Who? Ok, except for Dunstan and the metrosexual, no player nominated Melbourne!

Lever?

Ok, ok. Except for Dunstan, the metrosexual , and Lever - NO player nominated Melbourne!

May?

Jesus!. Except for Dunstan, the metrosexual , Lever and May - NO player  nominated Melbourne!

Brown?

What? Who? Which one? Ok, except for Dunstan, the metrosexual , Lever, May and Brown x 2 - NO player  nominated Melbourne!

Tomo?

Alright, alright;  except for Dunstan, the metrosexual , Lever, May, Brown x 2 and Tomo - NO player has recently nominated Melbourne as their preferred destination!

While last years trade period was very boring this one is shaping up to be very different. I think we will have to wait until the last day or two before Jackson deal gets done, as I think there will be a massive amount of pick swaps this year that will need to get done before the Jackson deal gets done. 
Think both pick 1&2 will be traded and although we are a chance to pick up one of them it’s far more likely that we will pick up one or more of the picks they are traded for. If that is the case we could be waiting on the likes of the Rankine deal to be completed before pick swaps take place ahead of the Jackson deal. 
I’m hoping that if the Jackson deal is stalling it might help us get get Grundy for less than a first round pick as the pies will need picks to get their deals done. Perhaps picks 32&41 get it done. Or if we trade Bedford whatever pick we get for him might come into the mix.

Sorry I should clarify my comment to say that it feels like no one wants to nominate for us this trade season. Still well a truely early into trade season so all being well we’ll get a few.

I was only joking, but I agree it would be great for a really good player to come our and say I want to go to the dees.

I wonder when really good players nominate a club it is code for, the club offering them a boat load of money (even though technically they can't do so whilst still contracted to another club). 

For average players, it is code for, I'm not good enough to get a regular senior game at my club becauseim not tbat good.

Probably because we don't have a lot of money to throw around and because it is very difficult to get a game let alone be part of the regular 22.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
