I must admit I was sceptical on chasing him as he plays similar to Fritta, but if Fritta and Melk can play well together in the coming weeks it’s prob not a bad option for a Grundy trade, but I’d also be loathe to give port a better ruckman.

    Averaging over a goal a game at this stage in his career is ntb but is inaccurate, and as said he aint tall.

    Melbourne were very keen on him in his Draft year but missed out. I would think this is the play if Grundy is going to Port.

    He is a lesser version of Fritter in my view and we don't need him. My preference is for a power forward We can get a 4 mark 1 goal a game player anywhere

    Not saying he's a champion or anything but he is 1cm shorter than JVR and 6cm taller than Melksham who I see as the closest proxy in our current forward set up

    I'd rather us go Rozee or Butters, but I understand we're interested. Depends what we give up.

    2 Fritters would be totally fine with me

    They're not the same anyway, as Georgiades is far more of a lead mark player, getting up on the wings while Fritter is closer to goal.

    There is no way we acquire these players

    I suspect the Eagles will offer overs. His non signing at Port is reportedly down to $$ and not being guaranteed a best 22 spot pre-injury.

    Tread with care is my conclusion

    Time to claim the so called premiership discount that the power clubs had in the past

    I think this would be a great option.  This kid has shown plenty in his restricted career.  Port have not played him correctly either.

    Straight swap for Grundy would be a fair trade IMO.

    A whole thread about a very average player

    So Demonland

    Couldn't regularly make the Port side pre injury and wants good dollars plus 4 year deal.

    As I said above... tread carefully

    Upside is that he is 21 and being a first rounder suggests he had ability.

    Has he had a 3 goal / high possession game. How did he go in the SANFL pre injury

    How so ?

    My interest in Georgiades is piqued by the reports that Jason Taylor was very keen on him in his draft year.

    Maybe he hasn't developed as expected.  Maybe he never will.  Maybe he will blossom at Melbourne.

    He has never been the second tall,  has always played alongside 2 other talls and they all get in each others way.

    He would be a great second tall for us with Fritter being that versatile 3rd

    Maybe - is he better than either of Petty or Joel Smith?

    Will Jefferson be better in 2 years?

    If we were talking about Larkey, McKay, Lynch or Allen I can see the appeal and clear point of difference of the taller player but for Georgiades I'm not so sure. 

    Ultimately, I suppose it comes down to cost - if he isn't costing the earth then maybe worth a punt. He does have good hands I will give him that.

    Oh i agree with those other players but they aren't on the table.  If i Could choose one, Allen!! he is perfect, gun key forward and can to the ruck pinch hitting too.

    That's the only issue, if we do go for a young key fwd and Jefferson does come on we will lose one.

    In terms of Petty and Smith, yes!  Much better than Smith and Petty had been great hole filler but i do think he will settle in defence, especially once May retires

    Good player. Great hands. iffy set shot. He was dropped at the start of the year. Not sure whether due to form or attitude. not good either way. then got a bad injury. 

    I don't think he's quite what we want. I'm thinking another key to play alongside JVR. He plays more as the third which is Fritschs role now.

    I see a lot of ‘we need a big key forward’, but not a lot of available names in this thread.

    There’s what you want, and then there’s what you can get.

    In theory, I love the idea of a very mobile and dangerous forward line of JVR, Fritta and Georgiades. Even better if we could get Watson in the draft to pair with Kozzie.

    However, I don’t think the combination carries enough size for our defensive game plan. None are big enough to sit under high ball’s for an entire year, they’d be cooked before finals

    I have maybe seen Georgiadis in 2 games so have never really noticed him if I'm honest, but if this is anything to go by, he's doing pretty well after 49 games?

    After 49 games the following had: 

    Gunstan - 86 goals

    Hipwood - 73 goals

    Jamie Elliot - 66 goals

    Georgiadis - 65 goals

    Jack Reiwoldt - 62 goals

    Charlie Curnow -  60 goals

    Fritsch -  41 goals

    Only 21 years old, effectively same amount of goals as Jamie Elliot, more goals than Reiwoldt, Curnow and Fritsch at the same time. 

    Seems to be more upsides than down?

    • 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.
