Naughton and JVR hitting packs and scattering oppo defenders would be a joy to behold

I'd be tempted to offer the 2 first rounders we receive from Freo and our own first rounder next year it that's what it takes

Make it happen MFC

    i'll put my hand up. Heard it from a sports journalist who heard it from a player. A reliable source but have no more info.

    Thanks for sharing @chook fowler.

    Can you share whether the player was from Melbourne or were they from the Dogs?

    Dees
    In: Naughton
    Out: Jackson, 3rd-4th rounder 

    Dogs
    In: Lobb, Tomlinson 
    Out: Naughton, 3rd-4th rounder 

    Freo
    In: Jackson
    Out: Lobb, x2 top 10 picks 

    Freo send Lobb, and two top 10 picks to dogs > Dees send Tommo+salary dump to Dogs, Jackson to Freo

    Naughton is a bit more than Jacko on the market due to his age bracket, playing history and current contract. Giving them Tomlinson on the cheap could benefit both teams if it made the deal happen.

    Hey, just checking, we're only running this thread to see if Tom Browne starts reporting it, right?

    If so, mods delete this post and let's play on.

    Where do the two top 10 picks go in this set up?

    They did, but then didn't include it in what Bulldogs received, so I didn't like it.

    So there's us allowing Tomlinson to seek a trade to the Bulldogs, whilst still under contract.

    There's how the feck do Fremantle satisfy our demands of two first rounders?

    Henry's seen on Clarry's instagram stories.

    Would all parties be satisfied with the following:

    Bulldogs give up Naughton. Bulldogs receive Lobb, a top 10 pick (via Melbourne) and Tomlinson.

    Melbourne gives up Jackson, Tomlinson & a top 10 pick. Melbourne receives Henry and Naughton.

    Fremantle gives up Lobb, Henry & a top 10 pick. Fremantle receives Jackson.

    Crazier things have happened.

    We then give up our future first rounder (hopefully end of first round) for Grundy.

    Grundy, Naughton and Henry would be a huge off season and change the face of our forward half.

    Ahhhhhh.... welcome premierships 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29...... 

    U KNOW THE REST!!!

    Heard a whisper that we are talking to him. 

    I would find it hard to imagine the Dogs trading him in the present circumstances. never know what might happen if they land Lobb.

    Massive downgrade with Lobster, no matter how many first rounders they get in the deal.

    Naughton is on $750,000 (apparently) at the dogs (would be worth more now considering this was a 2019 contract) and we are on the cusp of getting Grundy for about $600,000 or something?

     

    Ok.

    Why? Look at pragmatically. They have an excess of forward talent but are 2 key players short down back and probably another inside midfielder .

    I’d try to find a way to have Bont play more mid / half forward. He would be the hardest match up in the comp roaming around the forward half.2-3 goals per game and involved in another half down scoring chains.

    Ok. 

    I assume you are suggesting we can't afford naughton?

    We would have had to pay Jackson close to 750 to keep him i would have thought, so we have that money and 600k for Grundy is peanuts, so that's not an issue either. If Tomlinson went to the dogs, for example, that's 600k out the door for starters.  

    I'm assuming an advantage of having four long term contracts in Salem, Gus, Tracc and Oliver is that it creates opportunities for some creative accounting in terms of  balancing the books. For example they might have paid a big chunk up front so they had space nect year (for example to pay Jackson).

    Ask your mum and dad. It’s not appropriate for me to explain how it all works.

    • 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.
