Pretty sure Hardwick has shot down the Flanders rumours. Don't think Jacko is coming. And Browne is apparently close to re-signing at GWS.

Bit of a nothing article, really

Jackson was never coming

    more success or less without May and having Hogan?

    Am I misremembering or did Hogan ask to be traded to his home state?

    I remember desperately wanting to keep him and being resigned to the fact there was little we could do: he didn't want to be at the club.

    Hogan departs Melbourne

    “While we are disappointed to lose the high-quality player that Jesse is, we respect this decision and his request for a trade,” Mahoney said.

    “Jesse has been through some significant personal trauma in the past 18 months, and he has close ties to family members, including his mother, brother and sister, back in Western Australia.

    “As a club, we understand that being closer to family in Perth is Jesse’s priority, and we appreciate the positive impact this can have on his wellbeing.”

    Since debuting against Gold Coast in round 1, 2015, the forward has played 71 matches, including 20 this past season.

    alex dodson who i know personally and who we were linked to in the draft last year would be handy.... 18 years old and destroying these two

    with rowan marshall and tdk coming next year im not sure he gets much of a shot at the saints, really don't know how he fell to 53 we could have easily got him

    With Jamaras issues off field, I think any club who has him will have consistent issues.

    Stringer #2???

    Well I mentioned Liam McMahon not long ago but looking like he’ll get a real shot at the bombers.

    Has anyone watched Harry Lemmey from Carlton play in the vfl?

    Alright, so.. is there anything new or any targets after all the ones thrown up are now mostly taken?

    Who are most likely looking at, and who are we shipping out?

    Sam Flanders name gets mentioned. He’s one player that would fit perfectly in our best 18. He might get squeezed by the Suns as they have more young midfielder talent getting drafted this year. Not beyond reach in my view. Maybe an end of 2026 likely push on him.

    He’s definitely one I’d be getting in the ear of

    Wasted on the half forward flank while Rioli and Noble take his half back minutes and the Suns prioritise their young mids

    I think Dimma has shut this one down.

    It was just reported on Channel 7 news by McGuire that Wade Derksen, GWS swing man, looks likely to be playing in Victoria next season and Melbourne is the front runner.

    What position does he play for us?

    Thinking he is a forward / ruck

    Definitely not a ruck, but can play as key position on both ends

    If he comes to us he could be handy, but it needs to be borne in mind that he will be 24 and has been at the Giants for over 3 years and hasn’t yet played a senior game.

    GWS “reserves” leading goalkicker.

    At the moment, unfortunately we are a bloody hard sell for any new recruit to choose us.

    We’re not gonna anyone, no one will come to club coached by Goodwin, reckon we’ll lose a few but wont get any. I curse my old man for forcing me to bleed red & blue, the most frustrating team in the world. I’ve supported them all my 60 years, one flag we couldn’t go to, never had our own home, we’re the only team that always loses games they should win. Carlton have been a rabble all year but they still beat the pathetic Melbourne football club!!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
