A touch of 'double standards here.  Why would the Dockers be fuming?  I don't recall any angst when LJ sought a trade from us. 

Not an apt comparison. It would be more like if Mac Andrew was drafted by us, having spent 5 years developing in our academy. And sought a trade in year 4 after finally playing 17 decent games in a role he'd made his own.

I would imagine they are only impressed with player requests from players leaving other clubs to come to them.

That is impressive!

Toby Bedford would be the best comparison but he probably didn't get the same starting 22 opportunity that Henry had.

Not a top 10 pick though. I don't like Bell at the best of times, but I can def understand why they'd be annoyed about this particular trade request given the time sunk into Henry's development.

Freeo not happy a guy in LJ’s draft year deciding to leave…

 

Hmmmmmm. Is there something wrong here?? I can’t remember the MFC expressing themselves other than LJ was a wanted player, and all the best, sayonara after he left.

Bell is old school and look at the results. 

We're little fuss and get the job done every time.

Now Official. Whats to go to the Saints. Whats wrong with playing for Casey.

Not so sure about Casey, Langdon hasn’t exactly lit the year up and I had hoped for a bit more from Hunter in terms of helping with connection into our forward line. While they are gut runners I wouldn’t say they have elite speed either would love him at Melbourne.

Smart recruiting and picked up very cheaply by the Saints. 

Very smart recruiting indeed.

Add outside speed and skill, something we haven't been able to address the last few years.

Getting real 'I bought you dinner, how dare you not sleep with me' vibes out of Fremantle on this.

Must be quite alarming for Freo supporters to see the number of best-22 and developing players who want out right when they were supposed to be on the cusp of contending.

Side note: Andrew Brayshaw, Restricted Free Agent, end of 2025.

Revenge is a dish best served cold

Andrew would be a great get as Viney hits the twilight of his career.

He's like the Magic Pudding in reverse.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • 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.
