A elite key forward is an amazing luxury, but elite mids will always be more valuable. JJ, Sparrow etc are great but we need to plan for a future after Trac and Oliver

    Add on 3+ years of developing the high-pick mid/forward and they're 30+ and 28+

    Can anyone who has access let me know what this is about? It's probably nothing we don't already know but I am intrigued

    Just mentions us having Freo's first and second round pick. Nothing new or exciting.

    We have defensive and forward recruits... This year we should top up on mids.

    I think we need another young key forward and Kozzie type and then mids or best available.

    We will need more than JVR and Jefferson, if he makes it, as key forwards.

    Hopefully the Kozzie type becomes a little less important, after the original signs a long term contract extension with us.

    You could never have enough Kozzie’s, Red.

    Agree.

    Wishlist would include: 

    1. Mid/fwd
    2. Skillful mid who can play inside/wing/flanks
    3. Ruc/fwd

    We have enough small fwds given Chandler's development - assuming we retain Pickett that is. But maybe Nick Watson is too good if available?

    I’m not sure if there is a right or wrong but I’d hate for us to be linked to someone and it was telegraphed in April.

    I definitely think we will look at bundling up multiple first round picks this year and next year and trying to inject some top end midfield talent 

    I rate our developing keys in Jefferson and Van Rooyen. i am really optimistic what they will become 

    salary cap permitting i'd have a very serious look at Ben Mckay as a long term replacement for Steven May to extend our window

    Agreed. How many good KPFs in this year's crop that would go top 10? And are there any Kozzy types that are gettable with our likely picks? @Pennant St Dee @IvanBartul13 @ChaserJ @spirit of norm smith @Chelly

    @Demons11 has had pretty good mail in the past. We understand some things change and there's always lots of moving pieces. At least you don't do riddles...

    • 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.
