I'd be super annoyed if Butters makes his way to any of the other Vic clubs especially the Pies.

We should just go after Hinkley as an assistant now for next year, then snap up Butters as a FA end of next year.

    Re; Butters Saw an article that said the doggies were sniffing at 1.5M a year and 2-3 first rounders.

    Geelong waiting in the wings depending on Rowell/Oliver situations.

    Saints seemingly putting eggs in TDK and Leek Aleer baskets.

    (Hold your fire)

    I’m not seeing MFC attracting any of the free agent players or having much draft capital to entice a key player trade

    So look for bargains in young players who are being overlooked at their clubs (not bringing in 28,29,30+ aged players)

    Jaxon Binns. Running midfielder. Drafted pick 32 in 2022 draft. Now in 3rd year. Had 3 games in 2024. Getting constantly overlooked by Blues (behind Cerra,Acres, Hollands & Cottrell). Why I think he’s gettable and adds something? He has good pace. Wins the footy. Very good skills. Dominates VFL. Fits the modern running and transition game. I think he’s out of contract at end of 2025. Dees should offer him a deal and offer Blues peanuts. They ignore him. Just one player to think about.

    i go to the footy with someone related to him regularly

    would love it if he came to the dees

    I see Liam Ryan is open to a move with a year early.... I think he and Kozzy are fairly close so could be one to watch.

    Might be a bit washed, but I'd still love it. One of the best players to watch in the league when he's on.

    That would flip the media on its head wouldn't it...somehow get Liam Ryan and keep Kozzie and have those two playing together they'd love it!

    Or they both end up over there...imagine how sweet if they both ended up here somehow though wowee!

    Vote 1 for Hinkley as head of footy...

    I wonder if we should close this thread, as it seems any good player we would want, is going to Geelong, Collingwood or Hawthorn.

    Don’t forget the new “destination club” st kilda 😂 They love to give us [censored] for our crowds but I don’t think there was more then 10k people at marvel last night. Did they report on the crowd anywhere? It’s a pain they don’t put it in the match reports anymore.

    22,500 ish

    very similar to what we get against flagmantle

    aints are a remarkably similar-sized club to our own, albeit with significant more $$s coming their way from head office

    Makes sense. Looked like a whole lot less for the 15 or so minutes of the game I saw.

    I’ve got massive respect for the club and Ross in particularly for calling out the AFL the other day but I just think it’s ridiculous calling them a destination club purely cause they have a massive war-chest to offer someone. It’s kinda hard to say no to 1.7 million a year if your TDK or whatever player they offer it to next if they miss out on him.

    Crowd apparently was 20,522.

    We've only drawn a lower crowd at a Melbourne home game against Fremantle once in the last 12 years, and that was in 2019, when we got 20,211 (so just a few hundred less).

    None of our home games have been a prime time slot though.

    Are you doing this trade

    >> Kozzy (Freo), Oliver (Geelong)

    << Freos 1st, Freos F1, Geelong 1st,

    Then

    >> Geelong 1st, Freo F1, MFC 2nd

    << Reid.

    Might have to give a little more but to open negotiations.

    Oliver is not worth Geelong's first pick. That's red n blue wishful thinking. He'd get a late 20s or early 30s pick based upon his $1mill+ per year and his output over the last 18 months. A salary dump, to put it bluntly

    The cap space would help if we were going for a big fish or 2

    Kossie should be getting 2 x firsts, one would need to be in top 10. We'd might pay some of his contract to negotiate for better picks

    Sure, I'd like both to stay, especially if Clarry can get back to full fitness. Can't see it happening though

    And Reid would cost 3 x 1sts and $1.5m per year minimum

    methinks he means flagmantle's murphy - not harley - reid

    oliver's lack of return to his incredible best is a disappointment

    anything we trade him for will not be worth it

    He’s a weapon in the back half. Having a good game tonight. Would add a bit of silk to our ball use.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
