Hear me out, if there was an opportunity to bring either onto our list next year as a player to then transition as a forwards development coach would you take up that opportunity?

A Jack Riewoldt or Tom Hawkins would have been such a huge upgrade on Tom McDonald in both finals series. 

Tom Hawkins played 20 games and still kicked 49 goals this year. Remarkable effort.

Jack Riewoldt played 21 games for 33 goals this year also.

Could you imagine the leadership and development impact this would have on JVR, Petty and Jefferson?

    I think this is definitely what we should be looking at, could you imagine the impact either of those guys would have on JVR or Petty in just one pre season?

    Hawkins would be much better than Riewoldt but I am all for bringing in veterans.

    I would also like us to ask Isaac Smith if he is really retired.

    I wouldn’t consider either in any sort of playing role but …. As you suggest Dazzle , either would provide invaluable knowledge and experience in some sort of forward coaching/ mentoring position.

    Yes from me. Would take either for a multiple year playing into coaching role.

    The younger/cheaper options all have limitations as well, plus more experienced/cooler heads would be handy in Finals

    Riewoldt will end up in the media, Hawkins on his farm and we have BBB for leadership of JvR and Jefferson.

    Don't think it's happening Dazzle even if we wanted it.

    Hawkins will not leave the cattery ever

    Riewoldt has a new role with the Tasmania franchise 

    I agree with the consideration of a new voice on or off field. A true forward who knows the craft. I would think Stafford should likely be in a new role next year either at the Dees or elsewhere.

    Hawkins - won’t happen, can try.

    Riewoldt - not for me, he’s done.

    We need a fit, physical, agile role playing back up to JVR and Petty. Doesn’t have to be a world beater.

    He’s an option but we need one more genuine tall in case Petty or JVR are both out.

    Ablett Jnr. as the new foward coach pls.

    Need the mids / forwards to come together as a team.

    Our method and delivery into 50 much of time must be a forward's worst nightmare.

    Some run & class coming out of the middle.  It's non existent at present unless Kozzy gets on the end of a few and Goody rarely plays him here so new blood is needed.

    Spargo is about it as far as the delivery goes and he just doesn't get enough of it to make a big impact regardless.

    McAdam hopefully a big upgrade on Chandler.

    Neither would say yes to a playing role, why tarnish their status as one club greats and have a meager season with us?

    Playing a year or two didn’t harm the reputations oh Hodge or Mitchell

    Completely unsubstantiated by hearing we’re having a dip at Hawkins.

    We would be silly not too. 49 goals in 20 games this year is pretty impressive considering his age.

    What's the offer? 2 year contract?

    I cannot see any world where this is possible, but I wouldn't say no!

    He is Geelong through and through and I would guess they are still aiming for a other flag.

    That’s what I’m hearing, I also expect he’ll decline but I haven’t heard any details

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
