The Age has named us & Essendon as potentially being interested in Owies

Torn in this one — can finish which we DESPERATELY need but his def pressure isn’t there so if free is be a yes which he should be considering he hasn’t been offered a contract due to their interest in other players like Haynes etc but with them missing on a couple they might offer him a deal now  

 

Understanding that all the so caled trades etc in yet to hear any player from another club ask to be traded to us! We just don’t seem to be very active or a club that players want to come to, journos saying players driving to Casey & the circus of what happened with Trac

Why if he comes cheap? Who are our round 1 small forwards. Koz ?(suspended). Nibbler ?(gone). Spargo ? (has not played for a year)? So Chandler and possibly Kolt or Kynan or …… A good quality opportunist small forward (6 games of 3 goals and 33 in total for 2024) who is very team oriented who would come at low cost. I can see the potential appeal.  

The Age reported that Peatling is likely to stay.  He was the one player that I thought would be a very good addition for the Dees.  
 

Breakout Giants James Peatling is also weighing up his future, according to two industry sources, despite saying ahead of the club’s semi-final that he wanted to remain at GWS.

The Giants have increased their offer since mid-year, with Peatling transforming into a key contributor in the midfield by season’s end, including kicking two goals in the first quarter of Saturday’s semi-final while playing on Lions star Dayne Zorko.

The interest in Peatling from Victorian clubs such as St Kilda and Collingwood has not disappeared, and he is considering his future, even if he may remain at the Giants beyond 2024.


Yes to Peatling (if he was available)

Yes probably to Parfitt, Derksen 

Maybe to Membrey , Matt Kennedy, Owies

Maybe but with a lot of due diligence: Malcolm Rosas (jnr) 

No to … Macrae, Daniel, Ross, Taberner, Cerra, Ladhams, Jack Martin, Marchbank, Hind, Sam Day , Haynes, Stringer, Darling

Kennedy def fits the bill keys hope we go after him! 
 

Wade Derkson — as reported by afl.com.au & above is someone we have interest in and his hands are allegedly super-strong so watch that space could be a nice little get for not much & giants signed him up so they def saw something on him 

I just love the name, it sounds made up.

Parfitt ? Never been a fan of his work - Bailey Laurie offers more upside imo

But it would ruin the nickname you're trying to push onto Tholstrup though

Is there something legit about Derkson or would he be just another Pat McKenna who we also got from GWS a number of years ago. 

I think Matt Owies could be useful for us, but I guess we have Spargo who potentially could get himself back into the side.

Does sound like a NPC for sure

I must be on an island with Lewis Young. I thought he was a good solid defender and at his age I would be snapping him up if cheap. 

I must be looking at him all wrong as I'm shocked he is being traded in the first place.

I think he has sone great afl qualities as well, but also has his deficiencies but as a role player he'd be an asset if he came as a cheapie that is for sure.

No mate, this kid can play and has WAY more upside -- he lead GWS VFL Gkicking LY and played very well behind ball this year, they just have a plethora of talls ahead of him and he wants to come to VIC for family reasons (3 kids) and obv opportunity.

Dees in 'box seat' for Derkson according to today's episode of Gettable

If Rivers and McVee are intended to be used more up forward next season, I'm surprised we're not linked to players needed to play their role in defence - or have I missed something?

Houston said Hi !!! 

If we went with Owies, we could play Spargo on the non Langdon wing and play Windsor between half back and midfield.

If we're not going hard on this bloke then I'll fully rage

Pick 5 get it done you think?

If I could pick any bloke in the league to grab for free, it would be Jesse Hogan but Finn would probably be close second.

He’s got it all

Derksen would fit right in at Demonland.  People are already stuffing his name up.

Not prepared to wade into this argument.

 
20 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

players that the various afl medja punditry have linked us to, and away from, in the last six months:

  • ryan angwin (gw$)
  • wade derksen (gw$)
  • dan houston (pear)
  • tim membrey (aints)
  • jake waterman (meth coke)

plus we have our own various demonland threads on other players (such as matt kennedy from the baggers) but i'm yet to see anyone in the medja link us to him

also got linked to Leek Allir in the last couple of days I read somewhere..

Not sure Spargo will ever be a viable wing with his zero overhead game, but Chandler took some rotations in the last 2 weeks and looked fine.

We need to do what every other club does and realise the wing is largely a trash position and stop spending so much on it and rotate guys through. 

Chander, Fritsch, Tholstrup should all play some minutes there, heck even Disco if he has a big summer and that way Windsor and Langdon can move around.

  • 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.

  • 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.
