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

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      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 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?
