What makes it extra delicious is that Bell is at Dodoro levels of being difficult to trade with and must always be perceived to have won whatever trade he is doing.

    I love the visual near the end of Show me the Money 2 with our team casually strolling out, all deals done while player managers are running past them in a frenzy trying to finalise last minute deals.

    I honestly can't wait to play them at the G in a few weeks time.

    Double motivation to destroy them. I want to win by 10+ goals, and I want Grundy to dominate Jackson and I then want to see Jackson line up on Steven May at FF. LOL.

    Wouldn't mind JVR kicking 5 on their Captain too 👍

    Will get better when they get a few players back. They have nothing to tank for anyway because their first round pick goes to GWS anyway.

    Not sure about that. 

    I might ride their 'death train' along with GWS supporters who hold the Tigers first pick; a pick we may want to trade up for.

    Looking t the ladder, we need a couple of teams to really ream Freo and kill their percentage. Need to force it down into the 60's, that way equal points means they'll drop lower.

    It's Saturday night game v th hawks, you think Mitchell will want to perform in the game for optics.

    So ideal scenario is WC last, Richmond 17th and Freo 16th?

    However hard to see both NM and Hawthorn above Richmond and Freo.

    Ah look I'm happy with any combo, as long as those teams are down there and stay down there!

    Yep, I think we can take a week off the death ride and wish Freo all the best. I hope Jackson has a Weideman-level day out.

    Hawthorn are tanking so hard they are attracting Ukrainian farmers.

    Yes it tells me that Pearce has terrible taste in headwear.

    Hawks have a surprise win or two in them. Lost to GWS and Crows by 2&3 points. Should have been well ahead of dogs by half time but faded after that. 
    If Freo make as many simple skill errors as they did against Brisbane and Hawks kick a bit better they are a sneaky chance.

    After watching a lot of games this weekend it’s hard to see anything other than WC, Hawks and North being the bottom 3 clubs. So I think our pick will be somewhere between 4-7. 
    I expect Richmond to improve and move up the ladder a bit when they get a few of their key players back, so the Suns and GWS picking up wins this weekend is great for our chances of being closer to 4 than 7. 
    If Freo do finish in the bottom 6 we will enter this years trade and draft period in a much stronger position than the 2019 draft when we picked up Jackson, Kossie and Rivers and will hopefully have just win the flag.

    He's extraordinarily difficult to deal with and always keeps other clubs waiting till the last minute. He is the road block on trade week mostly.

    And Ess have nothing to show for it in over 20 years.

    Agree. 

    I would argue they are almost in better form than freo - at least they are not experimenting with their method 7 rounds into the season

    What if we ignore the draft entirely and package up our 2 first round picks in a trade for Ben King?

    Dunno Flash, I'd love to have him but not sure how many Texas-sized checks we have left in the kitty!

    • 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.
