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.

yea players who are involved with gangs and arms dealers are not worth the risk.....

    I think that's why due diligence needs to be done. What was going on. What are you doing now. Do you want to be an AFL footballer and not part of this?

    These are all questions you would ask and the deal would be short, say 2 years.

    For mine, the most pressing need is to find support for Max to extend the career of the greatest ruckman the game has seen. Campbell was good recruiting as an injury back up but we need a ruck forward .

    Assume your taking the p 1 5 5 out of me with that post?

    It absolutely could backfire badly.... but could also be amazing, not sure how hard that is to understand?

    And again, this was said by Billy Brownless I'm not making stuff up and I'd like to think I have a decent rep on here for that.

    Sorry those were double entendres - like a play on words so to speak, not your view. Although on that I think more exposure with Clarry will likely be a bad thing.

    You should cool your chambers there and no needs to go off half cocked.

    He has shown he could be a gun with a very good set shot. Could be Russian roulette however.

    I do hope we’re into Sam Flanders if he’s looking to get back to Victoria

    He’s exactly the type of midfielder we need in our engine room - fast, skilled and able to rack them up at will

    A nice age at 23 too - we need more in that 23-25 age bracket If we’re to avoid having an unbalanced list

    Rarely see Cadman mentioned but he would be a good get. Back home to Vic.

    Is contracted to end of 26, as if that means anything these days....

    he's the future of the forward line for gw$

    they will fight tooth and nail to hold onto him - just as they did to secure the #1 pick to acquire him - and he'll be rewarded accordingly

    Trac doesn't look like he is interested one bit, not sure if his currency is worth as much as 2 years ago. Hates the contest and is constantly pissing and moaning in the back ground, definitely doesn't like being in kozzys shadow. I wouldn't be one bit upset at the moment if he was floated for a genuine forward, one that puts is hands up to mark and kick it through the big sticks. If they don't wana be there let them go. With our pathetic forward line set up, why isn't Jefferson put back in, we were never in the finals hunt this year, get games into these kids.

    a clean ball user

    and a reliable goal kicker please

    Salem has regressed year on year and he is supposed to be one of the elite kicks in the comp.

    I’m afraid under this style of system, not even Harry Sheezle or a Callaghan would thrive. Even looking at Lindsay, he kicks it well, but often flat footed. Really wish Goodwin would just let him play as a handball receiver and run free to make better use of his skills.

    Send him to Collingwood. He was happy to hug and laugh with that #4 thug that plays in the white and black.

    I'm hearing ya. But there's still currency there for a Collingwood or Carlton, where i think he would thrive. We just aren't a destination club, and we won't ever be when our leaders are showing pathetic body language, its a job and players want to play where they are happy just like every other job place. The game is just going past our senior players at a rapid pace, we got bluffed into a contract for viney, don't know why the Kolt was dropped after last week, I love his energy and mongrel he has, just far to many holes from a playing list side of things.

    I’m not sure Trac ever gets back to being in the best players of the comp, he’s had a very serious injury, granted, but he’s avoiding contact, fumbling like crazy and kicking like an u8.

    I know he’s doing plenty of work at training, often last off the track, he just seems to be mentally defeated.

    His value could not possibly be any lower right now

    I find his behaviour on the field pathetic.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
