Glad we are linked with Cumming. He'll slot in our back 22 nicely and free up Rivers to move to the midfield permanently.

I like the idea of Housten but can't see Port letting him go and would be expensive to trade for. Perhaps further expansion of trading 2 years in advance will allow us to go for him?

    If Rory Lobb or Jake Stringer step foot at our club, I will throw up faster than Gawn can say Scully.

    Absolutely categorically hell to the no.

    Given the Hunter experience, I think we'll steer clear of any other troubled former Bulldogs. 😉

    If he is disgruntled and requests a trade, it will make it easier to trade with. They will no doubt ask for the world and cite his AA credentials. Reality is, form this year is so-so and he will not likely make the AA and finish in the lower end of top 10 B&F. 

    Question is would you be willing to give up a F1 for him and would Port accept it. I wouldn't hand over this year's first unless we finish top 4-6.  Anything outside the 8 im taking to the draft.

    I have high hopes with Verrall. He has shown some good development this year. As a ruckman he has good athletic ability but needs to build his endurance capabilities 

    I really like him too.   But saying that I think he is a bit short to become a top of the line ruckman.   He could easily become a future CHB, especially as our key defenders are nearing the end of their careers.

    Petty and a decent pick for Thilthorpe? Am I dreaming?

    Yeah, can’t see the Crows doing that deal. Thilthorpe looks like he’s ready to take off.

    Yeah, i am of the view we should have traded him late last year for the outrageous offer from the Crom. Goody was determined to try him as a forward though and now his value is a fraction of what it was then

    Not considering how awful is the Crows defence. Someone like Petty would immediately improve it. Sure, we may not get two first round picks but you can still demand one.

    With Nick Murray potentially doing his ACL last night then I have no doubt Crows will come harder again at the end of the year.

    there was no 'outrageous offer' and what they did offer came too late for us to engineer a trade for a different key forward

    we need petty to stay and play as it's the most talented tall we have in that 22-27 year old age bracket

    Which end of the ground does Petty want to play at? Forward or back? Because if we see him as a forward and the Crows see him as a back, that may have a say in things.

    I think he'll move back next year whoever he plays for and JVR, Turner and Jefferson will be our KPFs.

    So with Billings playing ahead of Laurie (not quite like for like) - I am assuming that the MFC doesn't see a future for Laurie?

    It means they feel billings is better suited for their plans this week than Laurie. Laurie is contracted for 2 more years so they must see some type of future for him, even if it is as a 25th/26th man

    Jack Macrae sub again tonight. Out of favour and can be a ball magnet. Would add to our midfield depth. Turns 30 in a few weeks though.

    Cumming could be a possibility - even better with Callaghan or Ash. 
     

    Huston has been found wanting for pace - better to go for Bergman. 
     

    Hobbs and Parish should be gettable. Maybe even Judith Durham? 
    Nobody wants to stay around the stench coming from that place. 
     

    WA players returning could be prioritised - they should know by now that the shocking surface at Opium Stadium is only going to damage their careers.

    Petty turns 25 next year, May turns 33. For many he’s a must keep, the club is normally pro active in the re signing of players. Considering the push from Adelaide surely we’ve offered him a revised contract which overrides his current one which runs out next season.

    I'm happy to leave this one for North so they can drastically overpay for him on a four year deal.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
