    Could we do:

    McAdam, Thilthorp

    For

    Sparrow, 2nd round?

    A former pick 2 200cm KPF only 21 years old would command more at the trade table. McAdam is worth a third rounder. Thilthorp is worth a first. Sparrow and a 2nd is unders.

    I agree with you, although I don't rate McAdam at all.

    But they have asked for Sparrow, so might a good starting point to see how much.

    Only issue is we look like losing a lot of midfield depth so adding Sparrow to that coukd leave us thin

    If we got him we would have two former number 2 pick key forwards at around 200cm. Thilthorp leads left, Schache leads right and Petty marks in front.

    To be honest Petty is the single best Hope we have of solving our forward line problems. 

    I have no hesitation in saying he is/ will be a better player than McKsy Tilthorpe is still maturing and Lynch has been there done that. 

    All our questions from D/Lers re Perry's injury should cool their jets and wait till he comes back. My opinion Harry is a better chance 7 years younger than Lynch at 31 with a season long foot problem. The karma of Tom  playing a Maynard role has come back to bite. 

    No way should Harry be available for trade he is worth 2 of the Crows young forward flankers.

    Petty is off limits.

    And unfortunately I don't think he is our fwd line saviour.  As I think he needs to take May's position in the next couple of years.

    Petty might have to do it for 12 months and then we have a crack at the plethora of key forwards coming out of contract next yr.

    If only we had 2 fit Petty's

    I love Petty Forward he is a natural, but somehow it seems to me that his body is not durable enough to play as a Key Forward for a whole campaign.

    I would rather get a full season out of him as a CHB than a stop, start season as a Forward.

    The option is there to swing him forward if the need arises.

    supposedly to play key back with doedee leaving and murray off a knee, plus dragon himmelberg out the door, no idea how burgess goes as a back but fogarty walker and thilthorpe would still be ahead of him

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
