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: 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.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • 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.
