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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
