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.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
