It's pretty clear Brodie Grundy is off to greener AFL pastures in the trade period.

We need a ready made ruck replacement. Max will be 32 next season and can't be expected to ruck solo the whole season.

As suggested to me by @grazman, Matt Flynn is UFA at GWS this year, he won't cost us anything in draft picks, only salary and we just need to convince him to come across.

A true mature ruck-forward would be nice but they don't grow on trees.

 

I'm seen him play a few really good games for GWS. good option imo.

Flynn would be a perfect replacement for Grundy if he was willing and didn't require too much coin.

But he might want to go to a club where he's more likely to play the No.1 ruck role as he's not really shown that he can be a danger when resting forward - aka Grundy.

 

Mentioned this in the 'targets' thread but GWS surely can't afford to have three mature ruckmen, all capable of playing AFL on their books?

With Flynn, I wonder given he's from southern NSW whether Melbourne life is for him? Otherwise it's welcome back Brayden Preuss!

Flynn is the #2 option at GWS so i wouldn't think they let him go

Preuss is either injured or suspended LOL

He's an Unrestricted Free Agent out of contract, they can't stop him if he wants to go.  Just like us with JJ.

Flynn doesn't cost us any draft capital

would prefer lycett to hayes, better mark and harder to play against as a ruckman, hayes is more your pretty ruckman than ur brute force

Still in the race, but I think the Eagles are heavy favourite which might be why we pick off Jamieson. Flynn probably a bit expensive.

Preuss must be feeling the love after hearing that. 🤔😆

I’m hoping Flynn goes to West Coast and Bailey Williams asks to go to the Dee Dee Demons…

They dont have a ruckman, We have the greatest of the last 15 years. 

But he’s 32 next year. His time is limited but our window is not. West Coast are a decade off a flag.

Do you think after 8 years on GWS list Flynn wants to leave to wait another 2 years to play regular senior football?

They have two, Williams and youngster Barnett.

Well there goes any deal for pick 1 if that happens, possibly.

How does a Free agent affect pick 1 ??

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
