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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
