    Great news. Now who are you trading out to catch such big fish?
    Oliver and May?

    (I’d do that if we could get those two).

    Dees should target young Angus Sheldrick from the Swans. Had good games in 2023 including a rising star nomination.  Showed form as good as Gulden and Warner etc.  but then a few injury ended his year.  This year again unable to crack into Swans line up this year due to injuries (finger and now ankle injury)  the fact they are overloaded with mids. Had 4/5 games in VFL and starred each week  

    He is contracted to end 2025 but I’d definitely get in the phone to his manager.  Like to see Dees consider him. 

    He’s only 21, drafted pick 18 in 2021 draft.  Strong with good pace and very good left foot disposal.  

    That’s the profile of the player we need in terms of age, exposure and cost out.

    Whilst I think we’ll have money to spend this offseason I think it might be better spent going for 2 younger players as we have holes everywhere.

    Our draft strategy is simple; if we still think we are competing for a flag, we will only use 2 picks and use other assets to make the picks as good as possible.

    If we aren't going hard for LDU and Battle then I will spew up. Get them and Moyle plus 2 or 3 picks in the draft. That will top us up nicely.

    Surely with Gus, BBB and possibly Tommo, Tmac and Petty leaving we have cap space?

    I also want LDU but cant see it being til hes out of contract in 2025. Let’s assume LDU agrees to come end of this season what are you willing to give this year whilst he is still in contract that Nolrth will accept. Unless something crazy happens Nth will get a top of band pick for him if he leaves under FA. So to do it a year early it would need to be more than they expect to get the following year to be in their interests.

    A Moyle trade should be number one priority IMO. Battle and Parfitt are good UFA targets.

    Will Brodie (Freo - 25 years) and Jarryd Lyons (Bris - 31). Both have played very good football at AFL level and are now a class above at the lower levels. Both have faults, but would add significantly to our midfield depth (we have none) and would come very cheap.

    Freo throwing the kitchen sink at Chad Warner.

    Watch us recruit Charlie Dixon and Oscar Allen.

    I would take him in a heartbeat. No way are West Coast offering him up.

    Oscar Allen is a star and would be an incredible get, no way West Coast lets him go.

    Would be a good trade period for us.

    Moyle, Battle, Cumming and a depth mid like Parfitt or Brodie would be a good outcome.

    Or we try our luck with a young fringe 22 mid that may prove best 22 worthy. Angwin, Sheldrick etc..

    Regardless, we should be going hard for Callaghan next year when he's out of contract.

    Yep for me Stengle, Battle and Moyle would be a great trade period.

    Pick up some depth in Brodie or Lyons maybe 

    Young fringe players in Sheldrick or Angwin 

    Draft a couple of midfielders 

    And I think I’d be able to have some sort of hope again if we picked up the three first stated.

    he is clearly looking for a big, big pay packet back for a team based in the city of melbourne

    peptides should be throwing significant coin at him; they need a small forward

    Haven't they got the two Davey boys?

    Re JSmith, appreciate we can't discuss the case but two questions I think are reasonable (and hopefully not in breach of the current editorial policy...)

    1. Anyone shed any light as to why there is radio silence from all involved or where its at? Every other similar case has been headline material for months.

    2. What is the situation re our salary cap etc. Can we delist at year's end?

    My understanding is:

    1. the investigation is still ongoing and not even the club or the AFL (and thus the media) have access to any information until Sports Integrity Australia publishes a finding

    2. he is only contracted until the end of this year, so he will no longer be on the list regardless of whether the investigation is still ongoing 

    Mods - please delete if this violates the editorial policy

    I'm not fussed on who we get AS LONG as those being targeted from other clubs and in the draft are quick and skillful. We need players that can run and break lines and deliver under pressure.

    Brodie had a really good year with Freo, last year or the year before.

    I swear I meant to write someone else... I think I was reading about Oscar Allen and my brain went into auto-pilot.

     

    Yes, I have a brain.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

      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.
