I would try and prize him out with as much as we can afford, would make us a premiership threat again next year

Is there a different Peter Wright?

    I like Wright but he has been poor this year and average last year.  Even dropped this year when the bombers have few tall fwds

    If he gets his head right he is a quality mark and straight kick for a big man

    Bombers would want a fair bit for him and he would want a big contract being 28 soon

    Where are those blokes with all the inside Goss on trade targets? I want a left fielder

    Deven Robertson signed a 2 year deal at Brisbane last year but finds himself stuck in the twos. Only played 2 AFL games this year. 

    He had 36 touches and 13 clearances in the VFL on the weekend. He has struggled in the AFL but I wonder if that's the role he needed to play.

    He will find it tough to crack into Brisbane before finals, and with another Ashcroft coming, he will find himself even further down the pecking order in 2025.

    We know that Jason Taylor was extremely disappointed to miss him on draft day. Wonder if we're looking at him again.

    He's from WA and the Eagles went after him last year, but they'll be giving up picks to get Baker from Richmond.

    I'd be interested in looking at Stengle if he's gettable. Would be nice to have a small forward that can actually crumb, and is disciplined enough to sit front and square. What we'd give to have Toby Bedford back right now.

    Looking for a good pre-season from Spargo too.

    I respectfully disagree. However what concerns me is that this is the type of trade Tim Lamb will probably get done. Follows in the same style as Hunter, McAdam, Billings etc. 

    One key criteria is a player that is playing more than 80% gametime in the AFL in 2024 and is < 28. Even its just for depth and role playing, this is an absolute must.

    Is PW the sort that could play that second ruck role @Pennant St Dee?

    Probably and up until this year was going well at Essendon, has he fallen away due to them now being to tall or are is his workfare questionable. I wouldn’t be selling the farm for him

    Robertson has some attributes, but class ain't one of them. 

    Which is why he's playing twos.

    We cannot give up 2 firsts for Houston. 1 pick, take it or leave it. If they don't accept that then we take a star mid in the draft and pick up Cumming, Perryman or another half back for far far less. If we finish 13th and then somehow miss finals again next year, we could end up giving up pick 6 and roughly pick 10. No player in the history of the game has ever been traded for that much.

    If we were getting prime Buddy or Dusty then sure, but we aren't. I love Houston as a player and think he would fit in well but, we must stick fat and not sacrifice the future. He's also nearly 28.

    It could be a Taranto and Hopper situation if things don't go well. Not worth it imo.

    This is my ideal scenario:
     

    Draft:
    - Top 6 pick 

    Trade:
    - ⁠Future first for Waterman and their 3rd rounder 
    - ⁠2nd rounder and Eagles 3rd for Peter Wright (he’s on the outer) 
    - ⁠Josh Battle Free agent 

    Summary:

    In: 
    - Waterman 
    - ⁠Peter Wright 
    - ⁠Battle 
    - ⁠Pick 6 
    - ⁠Eagles 3rd rounder 

    Out
    - Future first 
    - ⁠2nd rounder 
    - ⁠Eagles 3rd rounder

    Battle is an undersized key defender.

    too many talls maybe?

    wright's form has completely abandoned him

    waterman would be great, i think, but i'm convinced that the talk of him leaving is purely managerial manoeuvring to get a decent contract uplift now in his pre-agency year

    Yes,too many talls. Back up ruck is a must but we need midfielders,  midfielders, midfielders!!

    We just don't seem to draft any 200cm+ players....

    At least Petty at 197cm is close and hopefully we get back to playing him in his best position... DEFENDER

    We are apparently looking at Eagles’ Harry Edwards who is a key back and 204 cms.

    • 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.
