The FD don’t care about 8 slots deep in the draft. 

I applaud it - we get [censored] done in trade period and it’s because we value outcomes and not sweating the small losses and wins of an individual deal.

Take it and run 
Second round pick for a soon to be 29 year old. He’s injury prone.  
We will be laughing

So you are suggesting that our round one forwardline will be:

JVR (backup ruck duties also), Fritsch, McAdam, Smith, Kozzie, Chandler, ANB. 
That’s dynamic for sure, but our field kicking will need to improve markedly because only one maybe two of those players has a remote chance of taking a big contested mark. 

Unfortunately the highlighted won't be in our round 1 side.

Yep, I remember, what a load of horse [censored]! While that shoulder plunging thug is walking around with a premiership medal. What a wonderful system the MRP is.

You are suggesting we have Petty and Melksham both on crutches in the goal square?


He’s kicked a goal in 80% of the matches he’s played.

He’s kicked multiple goals in 42% of the matches he’s played.

He’s a good target inside 50 with four or more marks taken in 62% of the matches he’s played.

He also applies defensive pressure in the forward 50 with three or more tackles laid in 60% of the matches he’s played. As a comparison, Pickett is at 61% for this stat.

Won’t be a world beater but a fairly handy addition to the forward line and worth a future 2nd in my view.

I think Petty may well be ready for round one but if he isn’t I think it will be:

One of Brown, Fullarton or Schache (back up Ruck), JVR, Smith, Fritsch, Chandler, ANB, and one of Laurie, Woey or Spargo

(I forgot Kozzie is suspended, or blanked it from my memory)

Who are you replacing? Do you really want to only have JVR as backup ruck and no true tall forward when he’s rucking?

Clearly we’re drafting McAdam to play, I don’t have a problem with us getting him, but he’s replacing someone in the forwardline I’ve just listed and the only options I see are Smith or Fritsch. I don’t think we will go small. I don’t know enough about him to know but is he an upgrade on those two? That’s my confusion.

We obviously pursued him. They don’t nominate unless there is interest.

Imagine a player coming out and saying I am nominating Melbourne and Melbourne is like

I guess I was wondering whether a player decides he wants to move to Melbourne, picks a club (ie us) and then his management approaches us and says would you be interested in player x?


Adel rejecting offer, want a player.  Please Dees walk away and forget you were ever interested in that spud!

And averages about ~50% of games played per season in the last 4 years, or around ~30% this season.

It happens sometimes. Taylor Adams just did it and I think Jordan Lewis approached us in 2016. It doesn’t get to the trade request point without some reciprocal discussions though. 

I’m guessing they’ll want Chandler, who they’ve chased before.

Future 2nd round more than fair. Thought a future 3rd round or one of our current picks 42 or 47 would be about right.

I stand corrected. Sounds like Hawks aren’t super keen on getting Gunston back despite a trade request.

Didn't he want a 2 year extension and only got an offer of 1 from the Hawks. 

Then dished em for a longer offer from the Lions.

Now he wants to return again.  What the.

I wouldn't either!

Relax folks. 5 more days of this nonsense. Crows not agreeing straight away to appease fans after losing Doedee and gaining not much

she’ll get done 

Edited by DubDee

Future 2nd is overs for an uncontacted 28 year old who has played 50 career games, played 7 games last year and is borderline best 22 for them.

I'm happy with the offer from us because it's a fair and reasonable offer.

Theyl trade will go through because it's more than fair and Adelaide's demands "we want a player" are unreasonable and also out of our control.

Their interest in Chandler was before they had Rachele, Rankine and Pedlar playing well.

We know who they want. They want Petty.

Sadly, this pursuit of McAdam has backfired spectacularly on us.

We got F3 for a younger Premiership player, who has played 3 times the amount of games.

F2 will get this done, they are just making us sweat because of Petty staying and we got 11.

It would happen sooner if they found someone they wanted from another club, otherwise it gets done by Wednesday.

Huge fan of him... in a crows top

Because Petty’s going to spend the next 2 years (if he’s with us that long) attempting the toughest job in football (key forward for Melbourne) knowing he’d rather be sitting at CHB for the Crows making 7 figures next year then 800k after.

  • 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.
