Very similar noise to Jackson last year where the club was very confident he'd sign lol.

    Out of interest, is there anyone in the industry other than Kane Cornes who is discussing the possibility of Pickett leaving us at the end of the year?

    Is there anyone in the industry besides Pickett who is out of contract at the end of 2023?

    Tom De Koning, Ben McKay and Mitch Geogiadas are the 3 that would be thr most popular.

    Losing a generational ruckman and small forward in the space of 12/24 months would be pretty disgraceful let alone just after winning a flag, club will need to have a look at itself and what went wrong if it ends up that way. We haven’t even started talking about Rivers yet who is also out of contract and from WA

    What's there to look at?  We drafted 2 players that played in a premiership team.  Those players are so good, other teams are throwing bucketloads of cash at them and capitilising on a go home factor to lever them away from us.  It's part of the game.  There were 5 players that started at other clubs that also played in our premiership (Hibbo, May, Lever, Langdon and BBB).  Yes it sucks and we'd prefer it to be another way, but it's more a sign that we are doing things right than wrong.  Would you prefer we only drafted players that no other clubs want?

    Hopefully if Kozzy leaves, the club that gets him pays overs for him, in terms of both his contract and the trade.

    The first play of this draft highlight package is one people probably won’t ever forget, I would have drafted him for that alone.

     

    Gulp!

    And hunter and Grundy will play in a premiership this year.

    And out of interest has Cornes outlined how port will get this deal done given they have no picks.

    They have zero capital.

    He’s a Melbourne player until he’s not. Until then we block out the unsubstantiated noise and enjoy watching him play.

    Leave Kane Cornes to disappear further up his own [censored] and keep shouting into the cavernous wreck.

    Cornes is hanging onto a comment made last year during trade period. "In love with Melb, but not the city."

    That was almost 6 months ago now, im sure that the Dees and even Kossie himself are doing everything to make sure he is happy and enjoying himself.

    If he hasn't signed by mid season we'll then get worried.  This time we have to be serious about bringing the crows into discussions, ports Draft hand is not going to get it done!

    Let's hope it doesn't get to that!

    Since then his two housemates have left. You cannot underestimate the impact that this may have had on him. Its hard to get a read on friendship circles within the club (as they are all not best mates), but we can only hope that Kozzy is being smothered by those that stay behind. 

    He needs a GF and housemates that bleed red and blue.

    He does have GF.

    But agree entirely with your post

    Then why would he go to a club full of strangers ?

    Let me know when you have an answer to that.. because my guess is that you would have cracked the nut that will save this thread from spiraling out to 100 pages by end of the year.

    To look at how we are accomodating interstate players? Why don’t Jackson and Pickett like living in Melbourne enough for them to leave the club ? The idea that we’re fine with having these players for 2-4 years and then getting high draft picks for them is ridiculous. They’re nowhere near their peak yet. We don’t want an 18 year old replacing Kozzy or Jacko, we need to win another flag with the list we have. We need Kozzy kicking 40 goals every year and we needed Jacko to be our #1 ruck for the next decade, a first year player isn’t going to help us push towards another flag right now. We haven’t brought JVR in for 2-3 years to just get a good pick out of him, he needs to be our KPF for the next 10. So yes the club needs to have a look at a few things if we end up losing the entire 2019 draft class after just 4 years, or it’ll just keep happening over and over again? Doesn’t sound like Jason Taylor is keen to stop drafting interstate if they’re the best talent available

    Rest assured, Kozzie is well-loved by all of the boys.

    He also has a girlfriend who isn’t from another state. They’ve been together for quite a while and her family are all here in Melbourne.

    Well loved by all the boys sure, but the club is obviously aware that he’s feeling the loss of his two closest mates Toby and Luke by bringing in Burgoyne over the summer and thinking about Liam Henry in a trade. Let’s be honest, we don’t need either of those players and it’s all Kozzy related

    • 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 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.
