Riccardi definitely worth a look. not getting a game. 

And Brown isnt even in the emergencies. We should go hard and hopefully land one. Cadman looking like he’ll be a gun so they are stacked

Anyone know Henry Smith from the Lions?

206cm ruckman 12 tackles and 52 hitouts in the VFL Prelim.

scored 17.11 this year too. 

At 21, would be a good fit to learn from Gawny?

He’s definitely going to be a player. He’s had 3 years in the system and bulking out.  At 21yo, now he’s in line behind Omac (30) and he’s gone past Fort.  Smith debuted this year.  Contracted to 2026. Lions wouldn’t be letting him go.  He’s better than Verrall or Fullarton imv.

Guess we can expect to find out the intentions of a few GWS players this week.

“Hey Finn, I hear you like straight set exits… well, we have plenty of those where we’re from” 

Get it done Dees 😈


GWS now officially out.

Seems like Peatling will stay.

Wonder if we'll hear Waje Derksen request a trade?

Riccardi only out of the team through injury right?

Wouldn't have much reason to request a trade, apart from money or family reasons

Correct. Hadn't missed a game from Round 10 last year until he got injured this year and needed surgery which ended his season. Lachie Keeffe, who hadn't played to that point, took his spot as the third tall/back-up ruck (with Hogan and Cadman the other two).

I’m not sure Keeffe didn’t offer more tho as a genuine back up ruck and big aggressive body.

Riccardi a taller less talented Fritsch. The two of them in the same side would drive supporters (not just me) crazy.

Wouldn’t shock me if the Giants moved on Riccardi to open the spot for Max G. Especially if they pick up Crows Himmelberg for mature depth. But I suspect they keep him to cover the young talls.

Odd.  Did we finish 14th again next year as well as being allowed a two year future first pick trade exemption?

No mate, we offered LY and this Year Picks and way it has turned out means it is the largest offer ever made for one player/pick based on the points its ended-up accumulating at.

Matt Kennedy told to explore his options

Would definitely fit the bill if we’re looking for experienced midfield depth 

I actually really rate Kennedy so wouldn’t mind it at all if he came for a later pick or two

Could he fill ANB’s role?

Our second round pick tied to Swans (38?) perhaps?

I hope we don't touch 5 & soon to be 25

He killed us in (was it?) 2020 in an empty Marvel stadium.

If he's been told to go elsewhere and not part of their best 22 plans then they surely can't expect a 2nd round pick, no matter how late it is.

Bulldogs 3rd at pick 50 should do if we were interested.

I’m very much in favour of exploring the Matt Kennedy situation. 

We need more midfield power. He wants that opportunity. But he can genuinely play forward which helps with rotations.

He didn't play.


Carlton pair Matt Kennedy + Lewis Young have been told they’re free to look around elsewhere for a new home in 2025.
Kennedy had an honest conversation with Michael Voss last week - he sees himself as an inside midfielder, the Blues see him continuing half-forward role. 


I’d be happy to grab Kennedy for a pick in the 50s/60s

Owies was a player I’d thought would be nice to have as he’s very handy around the goals.

Could wax and wane fwd/mid with Trac

Was it in pre season then? Didn't he kick 4 goals against us?

Edited by Adam The God
It was pre season 2022, and he kicked 2 goals and had 37 touches.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
