Lochie O Brien is wanting to continue his career at another club. Is he worth a punt? Chocco would be good for his development.

    I think we are a bit light on for depth in that area to be fair, whenever Langdon or Hunter go down we have to draw from other areas which weakens the forward line, midfield or half back line.  Having someone in the twos waiting and putting pressure on the position (for the right price) isn't a bad idea.

    I would have thought Howes should be aiming for a wing spot in 2024. In order to get a chance he really needs to work very hard on his fitness this off season (see J McVee) We are pretty well set for HBF and personally I see Howes more of an outside runner / linkman than hard one on one defender. Just my opinion though.

    Not sure he ever delivered two consecutive AFL-standard games, and there have been murmurs about his attitude for years.

    Part of the reason Carlton spent a decade out of finals.

    No thanks.

    you mean like Blake Howes?

    Big pass. 

    Subpar skills, poor decision maker and nowhere near physical enough. 

    Would prefer to give Blake Howes or AMW a crack instead.

    JJ is not fast nor an elite user. He is best suited for an inside mid role.

    Fine, train for the  Paris Olympics.

    Huge PASS on any ex Blues player.

    Theyre not delisting a player who would be a regular participant in their AFL sponsored 2024 season.

    My best friend who is a Carlton supporter literally texted me that she's never been happier to see a player delisted.

    No, thank you.

    I would have been in the minority about a week ago and said yes as we need some rebounding half back flankers with Hibberd retiring, Joel Smith going forward and Deakyn Smith being delisted. Yes I know O'Brien mainly played wing, but he spent time at half back as well.

    After seeing that the filth delisted Trent Bianco the other day however, I would rather take a punt on him.

    I'll back JT to find us a better option at the back end of the draft.

    O'Brien might find a home, but odds are against him carving out a permanent role anywhere.

    I believe he was one of the 1st rounders we gave up for Jake Lever. Lol!

    Are there any AFL players who were not involved in the Lever and May trades?   l0l

    OBrien could always give Essendon a tickle. Theyll recruit almost anyone with a heartbeat from another club especially a flag club.

    Remember when MFC recruited Catoggio and Young from Carlton.

    They thought "we're onto something here".

    yeah  another spoon.

    Essendon might be the surprise dumpster fire along with Freo in '24.. Schultz said on a podcast he left because Freo dont respect some players and treat them like dirt.

    Reality is he has been a flop for the Blues considering he was a No.10 draft pick. Has shown ability and promise on occasions but never delivered consistently. His 2022 season was decent and I thought 2023 was the season for Lochie to step up to another level. Alas, he hasn't been able to grasp his opportunities and appeared to regress from the previous season.

    If there is room in the Demons list he might be worth a punt. Would see him primarily as a Casey player and as back up. This would be his last chance so that might motivate him to make the changes he needs.

    I think a draftee would probably be a better option to be honest. Ollie Hollands at Carlton was a new draftee and a revelation as a winger (No. 11 in the 2022 draft) and is certainly a first 22 player at the Blues now.

    one of the greatest heists ever - doesn't even show that the crom traded all those picks for bryce gibbs, who was out of the competition before his contract with them even expired

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
