    Wouldn't have thought a small forward would be high on their priority list given they had Bobby Hill, Jack Ginnivan, Jamie Elliott & Beau McCreery all playing in their GF team.

    He's an upgrade on Ginnivan, Elliot is aging.

    Makes complete sense.

    Elliot is 31, Ginnivan is looking like he is not 1st choice , McCreery is avearge and a bad kick at goal. Bobby Hill had a great finals series but inconsistent.

    I'd take schulze over all of the above @ the Dee's . He is a tough smart forward and just what we need, bummer he will end up at the filth

    It’s not done yet, if I’m Freo I’m asking for 2 first round picks.

    North would surely offer one of their end of first rounders if they could get him.

    No reason for Freo to give him away a year early for anything but massive overs.

    Bloody good get by Collingwood. Schultz is a gun. Just the sort of player we need.

    1 year left. Freo should drive a hard bargain. Will definitely take Pick 18 and some change to get it done.

    Once you put on that jumper you close the door to the Dees!

    Freo really is a joke of a club though....

    Is Jackson regretting his decision to leave us?.... wait a minute he's got 900k one dollar bills to wipe off his tears.

    Honestly I don't think he even cares that much. He's just happy to be with his family

    Interesting that 30mins ago Goldstein has been confirmed to make his way to the bombers but no confirmation on McKay. Think they were submitted at the same time.

    Schulz a free agent next year, due to delisted free agency. What a mess that covid inspired exception is.

    If I’m Freo I’m still holding him and expecting someone to pay end of first round money based on Doedee.

    If it's pick 3 though they are taking that and running no? Adelaide didn't match doedee and got pick 19 straight away today. 

    Maybe wishfully thinking but perhaps it's not band 1 like they hoped?

    the problem with this is that players demand trades and pretty much always get their way

    if clubs had the ability to trade players under contract where they so chose, he would - as you said earlier - probably be exchanged for one of north's end of first round compo-for-being-[censored] picks and he'd be there for a year before being able to sign wherever he wants as a free agent

    the trade and free agency system in afl is garbage

    It's borderline tampering with fair competition, just look at the JHF situation.

    Trading players without their consent is terrible, they don’t make enough money for that disruption.

    It’s a terrible system. There’s lots of better changes possible.

    But clubs do hold players to contracts. There’s plenty who want to leave and don’t make it to trade week.

    Freo can hold him or open up bids to everyone else if the Pies don’t come to the party. The nature of the family issues and the Pies keenness to pay up will probably determine if Freo budge.

      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.
