    Injury/body concerns or other?

    The young players at the MFC are unsettled? Really? They're all getting opportunities and most starting to show their wares.

    I know some of them were a bit shellshocked after a big post West Coast bake, but I haven't heard anything about being unsettled...

    I have also heard some parents of younger players not happy with a few things, which have occurred since the end of last season. 
     

    Nothing terminal but a few things need to be sorted out moving forward

    Which means Trac can play more forward?? 

    Trac won't want to play forward again in a hurry after the knee to his spleen.

    Surely no one’s shocked by this

    I would look at Jack Silvagni. I know he is coming off a knee injury but I like his versatility as a forward, midfielder and second ruck.

    Absolutely agree.  I have no idea why Blues fans hate him so much, maybe they don't like his Mums ads for Chemist Warehouse or whatever it is. 

    Change of scene may do him good.  And possibly some moisturiser.

    Apologies if this has been covered off, but doing a bit of a stocktake (happy new financial year Dees fans!) and we *should* have salary cap space in lieu of:

    • BBB
    • Brayshaw
    • Smith
    • Hunter / Billings / McAdam?
    • Laurie

    The first two should be a nice chunk of change.  Surely we can go after some talent?

    Billings, Mcadam and Laurie are all contracted so won’t be going anywhere. The others are likely, plus Tomlinson.

    Reckon Laurie, McAdam and possibly Billings are contracted in 2025.

    King has kicked 159.115 in his first 5 seasons in a terrible team with zero skilled mids. Including a 52.49 season  

    And people compare him to Weid? 

    [censored] me. watch some football  He us 202cm  he would transform our team

    Question marks over his body are there but I would give up 2 first rounders any say of the week for him

    Hold your horses, we can get him with one pick, maybe two only if St Kilda pays 30% of his contract

    King is staying with the Saints and they are working on a new contract.

    Here is the list and I’d like all of them.

    Lukosius- to play back

    Waterman- He and JVR 🤤

    Lobb- 3rd tall and Ruck

    Dylan Shiels- won’t cost much and apparently back to peak powers. 
     

    Just need a medium defender.

     

    Howes to wing, Juddy and Rivs to play more midfield along with Windsor.

    Don't mind this, but just keep Howes at half back as medium defender.

    If we bring in Rory Lobb a few Demonlanders heads will explode I imagine...

    Please no Rory Lobb...

    Isn't there anyone else we can bring as a second ruck? Ideally Kalany White will be with us at the end of next year.

    I really don't think there are many options out there unfortunately, so who knows maybe we will have a crack with Rory Lobb....

    Kalani White won't drafted until 2025 and even then will take a good 2-3 years to be a consistent performer.

    Mabior Chol was the one we probably should've gone for last year, but even he is pretty inconsistent.

    We had the best ruck/forward in the league.... but he got homesick

    lukosious is a forward - playing him at half back is an incredible waste

    Agree. Would love him in our forward line.

    Was a defender and a very very good one, with the best field kicking of all key defenders.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
