fwiw, one of the media scribes was saying bergman has been offered a 7 year deal by the pear

so that's a 9 (?) year deal for butters and 7 for bergman

kornes' head is going to explode

    The amount of complaints about having Ben brown and Josh Schache on the list for too long was hard on the ears. IMO a list doesn’t need 6+ key forwards and we currently have

    Petty*

    Turner*

    JVR

    Jefferson

    Fullarton

    Johnson

    Kentfield*

    With Verrall as a ruck/fwd type on the list too. I get that petty and turner are swing types and kentfield is being trialed as a chb, but would rather not see any more brought on to the list until we decide someone is out first.

    At the risk of upsetting a few here there are at least 4 on that list that arguably will never play AFL on a regular basis - we need to keep refreshing our stocks in the KPF ranks as it continues to be our Achilles heel imo

    We really need all our defenders to take Hayden McLean aside today for a quiet chat about how great his opportunities would be at Melbourne, with clear puzzle holes of 'big lump of a forward' and 'supporting ruck' perfectly cut for him to fill.

    Mate, buddy, my friend, can you see, can you see how much we'd appreciate you? So much love, and the money, oh yes, you'll get a lot more than a usual role player because you'll be filing such an important role. You could be the new David Hale. Glory and respect awaits!

    Why would we want an “almost player”? I think we have enough of those already.

    Miles Bergman. Yes we were very very keen in his draft year. He’s developed as expected. A 5 year deal likely is on the table. Similar to what we probably were offering Houston. Saints will put all their $$$ into TDK. If that happens, Saints would be out of the chase for Bergman

    Though Bergman is very good, we wouldn’t want to go too big in $$$$ spend. Need our $$$ for Disco, Bowsa, McVee etc who in the next 12 months will need for a top up in new contracts.

    Ollie Florent. Sort of prototype running player that can play half back or midfield. His skills are excellent. Swans have more young talent coming in through the academy and he might get squeezed. But he’s a talent and a return home to family & friends might be tempting. Contract signed to 2029 so whilst he’s out of form now, it’s highly unlikely that he’s looking around imv.

    funny, i was chatting with a bloods fan about florent after the vfl game and asking what's happened to him:

    shadow of his former self

    I think the positional change has hurt

    But he’s been awful all season. I said in rd4 if we had no injuries he would have been dropped

    Hypothetical: Carlton make Curnow available for trade - would we trade the bounty we get for Kossie for him? I’m a yes.

    Bit of chatter out there at the moment re. Charlie.

    there's chatter out there about curnow, mckay, and walsh at the baggers

    with the news that the tasmanian stadia is in serious doubt, my baggers' supporting cousin thinks they should go full SCORCHED EARTH policy

    Blues keen on Fritta if you believe everything you read online

    They are dire in need of some decent small forwards. The fact that they traded away the only really competent small forward on their list to WC (Owies) was a poor decision in retrospect. Granted he may have been asking for too much, however the Blues list management have made some real doozies. Matt Kennedy another one.

    Not sure if anyone else heard this but a mate said Billy Brownless said on Triple M he believes Jamarra is keen to play for the Dees if Kozzy stays....

    Don't shoot the messenger.

    From what I've heard, I don't think jamarra staying in Melbourne is a good idea.

    Jamarra would do too much damage to our brand, no way we take him on after our last few seasons of media beltings

    Worth the risk IMO. We have a bit of history in bringing in players for second chances/fresh starts. Hasn't always worked but I feel our culture within the four walls (not in the hyperbolic media) is pretty sound and there aren't too many repeat offenders once they're in the red and blue in terms of off field stuff. We're getting some credit now with how well the club dealt with/supported Clayton through his struggles as a perfect example of the clubs cultural integrity.

    As we saw on the weekend we can take it right up to the best in the comp. We have a top four backline and ball winning/contested midfield. We're just lacking some extra skill/kicking across our mid/front half which I feel we're slowly addressing as well as a genuine natural tall forward. Our backman-turned-forwards in Petts and JVR are going OK but imagine a fit and firing Jamarra in the mix.

    No idea... just someone told me Bill Brownless said this on Triple M.

    I imagine they would know each other from the Indigenous All stars and such.

    • 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.
