don't believe so, last i heard is he was out of contract at the end of 2024, when he'll be a free agent

Sun reported he is set to sign up but nothing official yet

    Dees should look to add some youth and keep their draft hand for 2023.  Maybe use picks to trade up the board with Giants and Suns needing points to use on academy picks.

    After today it’s clear our target should

    be… between the big sticks

    I hope Larkey doesn't sign on again with North. He'd be great in the red and blue but fair play if he sticks with North. I don't mind players showing loyalty to their club even if it means we miss out.

    I would try and target the following in order of who I’d like most to who is probably the most realistic 

    1. Larkey 

    2. Naughton 

    3. McKay (Ben) 

    4. Himmelberg (but not for the reported $900k!)

    5. Georgiadis 

    I'd have Allen at 1, if not 2 on this list and would argue he'd be just as gettable, the eagles need the draft currency

    Apparently he’s a WA boy making a bucket of money. So sadly no chance. 
    I mean I’d take Jeremy Cameron and Charlie Curnow too, but we need to be realistic here.

    Harry McKay if Carlton lose the plot 🤪. Naughton if he got a haircut. Would love Dixon, but that ain’t happening.

    Great talent, but at 24 he's one of the players you build your team around.

    I wouldn't think they're mad enough to move him on.

    Love Bowser, but reckon he's too small for the midfield.

    Daniels is not too small. That's a furphy if good enough then give him a go. 

    size is a poor excuse by a team when  as the individual most likely desires a chance to prove a reason like that wrong.

    Would love a rookie pick like Nick Martin. 192cm classy, hard running midfielder who can kick.

    Maybe Howes will get there but someone like Finn Callahan...

    Cerra, Zac Williams, McGovern, Jack Martin, Hewitt and Saad

    Saad goes ok

     

    Jack Martin would’ve been a great had he chose Melbourne!!!

    Hayden McLean, Oscar Allen & Georgiadis are the ones to watch here…

    Nick Martin is just wow! Same trajectory as Hird right now. Howes is a terrific prospect but not quite as silky as Martin or the goal sense but has a floor of someone like Acres or ceiling of say Bailey Dale or Redman!

    Did his ACL earlier in the year, so will be coming off a long lay off, might not be as aerially captivating as he was before.

    Oscar Allen is also a lead up forward, as compared to a contested beast.

    Ollie Florent. swans.  But signed up until end 2024. 
    Finn Callaghan.  GWS. But signed up until end 2025. 
    It’s the draft for me this year.

    GWS's Jake Riccardi might be a good fit. 23, 198cm, 100kg. Always looks good when I see them, but doesn't seem to get much love. Played under Williams at Werribee before getting drafted. Not sure of his contract status.

    I wouldn’t bring in any mature key forward unless he is a regular best 22.

    Certainly would draft another and develop Jefferson and Verrall.

    If there was a best 22 key forward we could get next year, then absolutely.

    We need a key forward but I would be going all in for trading up the draft. We would want as much high end draft talent as possible before Tassie come in and take all the picks

    • 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.
