Rosas would be a great get

We have an absolute dearth of small forwards who actually kick goals

Give me a genuine small who lives in the fwd 50 pressuring opposition and sneaking goals over whatever guys like Spargo and Sparrow are giving us as half fwd right now

    Small forward is definitely a position that needs to be looked at.

    We have the amazing Kozzzzy but he is now needed on rotation in the midfield.

    We need a pacy, high pressure, goalkicking small crumbing forward. It’s not Spargo. It’s not Sparrow.

    Maybe Rosas jnr. He was just a name that I looked at as a small fwd when seeing who was being squeezed out at other clubs.

    100% agreed SONS, you'd do worse than give him 12 months but i am firmly of the belief that we can only play one of sparrow and viney in the side, we just don't get enough scoring from our forward line. particularly if lindsay and windsor are wing/HB options for the future and langdon is gonna be playing HF tagging HBs.

    other options around the comp? none come to mind. i woulda been interested in reville before he signed on with brissie yesterday, mclachlan maybe? behind a few, butler at the hawks?

    dovaston is a draft prospect who was MSD eligible

    i really woulda liked to have seen tariek newchurch in action during his 3yrs at the crom but didnt get a look and is back at community level now - still think he could play at the level in a dudley-esque role

    We may have covered this already but what's happened to Ollie Florent?

    Seemed a permanent staple in the Swans team and now on the outer. Haven't watched much of the Swans this year so haven't looked closely at his game. Worth considering?

    Has had a few injuries, been mostly been pushed out of his position on the midfield and wing the last 12-18 months and struggled to find a new role. Swans mate reckons they're getting run from guys like Blakey now, so he's struggled to find his place and lost confidence as a result.

    Would be a great target for us if we could get him for a second rounder in a trade IMO.

    i reckon if a club takes on his contract they'll get him for a 3rd rounder - signed until the end of 2029 on a fairly hefty deal

    Petracca and Oliver both need to go.

    Won’t get much due to their contracts though

    Doesn’t matter. Both are liabilities.

    Pat Voss and Kyle Langford are names that could be gettable and names that could address our forward line woes.

    Langford has been hamstrung more often than not his entire career

    An injured poor man’s Fritsch for mine

    Voss has gone from the peptides to back home to Flagmantle; getting him back over east is definitely worth a look as he’s strong and competitive in the air but he’s so lazy defensively - my Flagmantle supporting buddy loathes his lack of effort

    Re: Langford - was wondering this morning if there was anyone we could peel away from Essendon given the supposed angst some of them have at the club at present

    Did we nearly get Zac Merrett a few years back?

    Massive red flag with his body, but Mitch Lewis can play. 1.99 and 26, perfect fit for us next to JVR, wouldn’t cost too much, but can he get on the park ?

    Would be all over Lewis if he sought a trade

    His body is a concern but there aren’t many near 2m forwards who can actually play

    Take the risk and get him fit I say

    Extremely highly rated at Hawthorn. At least he was a couple of years ago.

    EDIT: Didn't realise he'd done two ACLs. I had in my head that he was out with other long-term injuries. Not quite so keen now.

    You would think the romance of Calsher Dear (and age) would have him ahead of Lewis.

    Chol and Gunston is working at the moment.

    Lewis should be gettable

    Tracc is currently 26th & Clayton is 39th for total disposals so far this year and they are both coming off injuries, Tracc is also 4th in Score involvements 114, Tracc 62 tackles, Claz 80 tackles and Salem is 4th for Marks in the league. No one else bar Max is even close. Re you solely basing your opinions on points scored??

    Pretty sure that was just player manager driven false hope to drive up his contract price with no desire to actually leave.

    • 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.
