I can’t work out the 3rd. I know who was banned and who got retired.

I agree, I can't think of the third person. Besides the obvious 2, I thought the rest of the departures were solid citizens.

    I had him marked as the one who retired.

    No thank you.

    I don't believe we are the sort of club that can turn a player like JUH around in the same way Geelong, Collingwood or some of the northern state clubs can. IMO he's more likely to create trouble rather than become the best player he can with us.


    Reports are that Jamarra Ugle-Hagan won't be at the Dogs for too much longer. Should the Demons try and recruit him? A Huge risk, but the bloke can play!

    No. I would have been a maybe a couple of months ago but too many even worse reports on his behaviour have emerged since.

    Absolutely no.

    Just asking the question mate.

    For Bevo to say his path back will be decided / guided by the AFL puts the mental health card to bed. Any club taking him on would be wanting clauses in his contract should certain scenario’s play out.

    Depends who bolts at years end. We are desperate for a goal kicker. Yes!

    could you be more specific?

    Yep, we had the Oliver situation which from all reports [censored] a lot of people off by how it was handled. Cultural issues going back years, a lot of positional infrastructure missing at admin level, a home base to sort out and ideally a cliff to not fall down over the next couple of seasons.

    Adding a person with complex issues, associated with seemingly dubious characters, that isn’t even showing up to their current club with any kind of consistency, that wouldn’t respond to Bontompelli’s mentoring leading to him being alienated from the group, to our club and expecting us to be able to handle it given our very recent form, is inviting disaster and very unneeded distractions.

    Risking our younger players being poorly influenced and it spilling over into derailing/hampering/alienating them. Any chance of that happening is unacceptable to me and could screw us big time when we have to find stability.

    No. No No No.

    He's becoming the Scott Morrison of AFL. Wants the job but doesn't want to do the work. Only listens to people telling him how great he is, and even those people are just trying to sell him something.

    We desperately need another good quality tall forward.

    But the Demons should only take JUH if he changed his attitude and behaviour.

    For 100k per year 1 year contract for a future 3rd - yes. Any more, then no.

    the reality is I reckon he’ll retire from Football. Just doesn’t have the desire anymore.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
