Happy with this

 

Offers depth and he is an upgrade to Chandler and Spargo imo

    @Dannyz is hearing what #ETthetradebreaker is hearing. To be announced after 2pm AEDST. If it doesn’t go through, they just lost the paperwork and it’s not my fault.

    Are we any chance of getting into bed with them regarding a pick swap with them? 

    We could pursue their pick 13 in exchance for a future 1st plus something else if we take on Billings' cash?

    That would leave us with picks 6,11 and 13 if Lamby could twinkle his wand of magic.

    Great thinking. Like it

    OUT: Hibberd, Dunstan, Jordon, Harmes, Grundy, Smith (Rookie)

    IN: Fullarton, McAdam

    Draft picks currently: x 3 (One could be used to upgrade McVee)

    So we have 3 senior spots left

    Also, if Melksham is moved onto a rookie contract, frees up another spot

    If I were any of Spargo, Chandler, Laurie and Moniz-Wakefield, and Melbourne were bringing in McAdam and potentially Billings this trade period, I would be getting my manager to find me a new home as soon as possible.

    Of course, it's possible that there won't be any interest because none of them are particularly good, but I certainly wouldn't be expecting those four to be playing regularly next year.

    Too late for that now! Probably why they left this so late.

    Chandler and Spargo stay, but I can see Laurie and Moniz Wakefield being played in the back half.

    I think our wingers might be the most nervous.

    Sounds like the Aints are doing a salary dump. We're basically swapping a 500k Harmes for a 500k Billings. 

    Fullarton McAdam and Billings in the trade period.

    No bigee.

    The top ten in the 2013 draft makes for interesting reading:

    1. Tom Boyd - Giants 
    2. Josh Kelly - Giants (pick traded from Melbourne)
    3. Jack Billings - Saints
    4. Marcus Bontempelli  - Bulldogs 
    5. Kade Kolodjashnij - Gold Coast
    6. Matthew Scharenberg - Collingwood 
    7. James Aish  - Lions
    8.  Luke McDonald - Roos
    9. Christian Salem - Dees (mid first round compensation pick from 2010 traded from Giants)
    10.  Nathan Freeman - Collingwood 

    Dees end up with three top 10 picks from that draft!   

    (note: we picked up hunt and traded in Dom Tyson as part of the pick swap that saw Kelly go to the Giants and Salo to us. A Paul Roos call)

    Three, actually.

    Happy with the Demons getting Jack Billings from the Saints.

    He is a good ball user and can kick goals.

    Will be a handy acquisition for our forward line and midfield.

    • 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.
