Macrae the most interesting player of the trade period. Only averaged 12% (!) CBA's this year.

Cooked? Bevo'd? Both?

    Hope we do the Macrae/Daniel double for maximum melts

    If only Lobb hadn’t have come into form late - we could have gone for the trifecta

    He is on par with Trac for disposal efficiency over career

    Unfortunately, that's a con not a pro.

    Treacle slow one position player in a game increasingly demanding speed and spread.

    Both are cooked. Seriously.  Answer is NO.  They are on big money with reduced output.  
    Have we not learnt anything? 
    Salary dump strategy of guys like Hunter & Billings is going backwards!!!

    194cm is also generous

    it’s a measurement mate

    Is Adam Cerra Gettable? 

    Was brought up in mid week tackle as a name to keep an eye on potentially.

    Decent fit for us, 5 hammies in 12 months is a massive red flag though. Might help the Blues get Houston if they offload him.

    Nah, I was all for Cerra pre Carlton, but not only has he failed to live up to expectation Inhad on him, he's constantly injured.

    The Carlton mid I'd like is Walsh, but he too has injury problems and they'd never let him go. He'd be perfect in our system.

    I think Trac and the review into FD will demand our system changes, makes it hard to know who will suit us in 2025.

    I think we need a Walsh or Andy Brayshaw type who is ultra consistent and dependable, not necessarily a game breaker but just does the hard/team orientated stuff each week.

    Walsh would work in any system because he's a machine runner.

    Having Lingers and Walsh in the same team would be a dream, and probably mean we could tweak our system even more.

    Is that a him issue or a Carlton issue though? He’s certainly not the only player whose been plagued by soft tissues at that club 

    He was great for them last year when he was on the park - worth asking the question and doing some due diligence

    Wonder if West Coast have any regrets about not taking that offer. That’s an enormous haul they’ve knocked back.

    Curtin, Tholstrup and top 5 pick this year plus change.

    Imagine if Reid wants to go home after 3 years.

    Once the trade period washes through, delisted free agents like Matt Taberner and Seb Ross should be considered as depth options considering how thin our list was this year.

    Taberner and Ross are both 31. I'd rather go for the best state league talent with a hunger to succeed than washed up players like these 2.

    Taberner is the ideal replacement for Schache - wait a minute 🤔🤔

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
