ANB for Rachele. Take it or leave it, ya crabs. 

They will leave it as they have us over a barrel and it isn’t a fair deal anyway.

I fear we may get screwed in trading ANB, as they know we are committed to helping ANB get home and doing the right thing by him and his family.

If it was Dodoro, he would offer pick 185. Hopefully the Crows will act fairly.

    I would say that if there wasn't already an in-principle deal, that we wouldn't be so forthcoming with the whole thing and would say "he is seeking a trade home and we will work with all interested parties to see if a deal can be reached".

    My best guess, going off absolutely no inside intel btw, is that we have a deal more or less sorted with the Crows.

    I reckon we get our second rounder back from them, which means it's essential McAdams for Nibbler, which is not a good trade unfortunately.

    Is Ladhams worth a look? Would he be happy waiting at VFL level once again?

    Suns would have a few players available i'd say. Joel Jeffrey comes to mind. 194cm HBF/HFF

    That is far from a good trade if true, as we got an injured player who struggles to get fit and might end up hardly playing for us at all.

    How so? Turner has a loooong way to go before he is in the same conversation as Waterman

    The same Waterman who’s played 12 good games in his career?

    He sounds a bit flaky but has talent.

    He has pulled out of a few contests, which Goody is not a real fan of.

    How about ANB and McAdam?

    Seriously, he is on a big contract and I wonder how that would play out.

    This kid has superstar attributes, I don't rate Nick's as a coach.  Looks a bit "my way or the highway" type.  Goody is a players coach.  Recon he coukd get the best out of him.

    Attach him to Petraccas hip for a pre-season and watch him after a big pre-season.

    It's a pipe dream, but yeh if McAdam is worth a 2nd rounder what's ANB worth.  I still can't believe we went after McAdam let alone paid that for him.  Still makes me angry

    Crows are laughing. McAdam is now a pick 23-24 in this draft. He’s a lazy footballer. Cannot kick 35 metres.  Mercurial yes. But two or three efforts a match is lazy!!!

    how we seem to have accepted that anb is leaving to go 'home' without the deal being done is absolutely infuriating 

    he has requested a trade; it has not happened yet

    he's got two years to go on a very healthy contract

    is he going to retire if crom / pear can't satisfy us in a trade?

    how we've handled his trade request has been acquiescent

    We desperately need a smooth moving midfielder with excellent kicking skills.

    Our field kicking is still atrocious compared to teams like Collingwood and Sydney.

    Finn Callaghan is out of contract next year... doesn't help for next season though.

    I wouldn't be sure that we haven't done a deal for ANB already...

    I think we can build around Disco and JVR, with Fritsch as a third tall. We would get more value from insert a player like Tom Papley, Bobby Hill or Charlie Cameron than Max King.

    Matt Owies is a player we should look at. Sam Wicks is another.

    If we keep Petracca and find some depth in the midfield, he can be used forward as well.

    Murphy Reid and Cotton look like they could play a small forward role to me.

    Agree in Owies and Wicks, and I wonder about Rachele.

    Max king would help all the other forwards. Fritts jvrs roles would alter and they'd get lesser Backmen. Chin/spargs are no papley but an upgrade wouldn't be as dramatic as max king.

    Rachele is on too much money.

    Look at the Giants list for some options. They have too many small forwards to play them all.

    Said as soon as we were interested he is lazy and has an attitude problem.  And not young.  They really bent us over there

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      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.
