Rioli and Noble to the Suns. They are doing well and will have some good HB run next year

    With the exodus at Tigerland, early picks will be incoming. And a war chest of salary cap room. Is Tigerland a “Big Club” with big crowds….?

    depends, can their doctors diagnose internal bleeding and spleen damage on the sidelines without a MRI/CT Scan?

    Is Rioli a better player than Neal-Bullen? Trade price seems way out of whack between the two.

    Note to all who still blame the Demons for ‘letting’ JJ go. 

    You don’t have a choice in some circumstances 

    When good players miss out on a flag they will probably leave and fair enough too

    Rate both of these players. Thought Noble was hard done by the Pies last year not to make it back into the team for the flag.

    Just to be clear, the AFL stewards would not let JJ onto the field for the GF as Harmes' 'cramp' was not considered to be an injury

    noble's back half of the year has been very good

    losing rioli, bolton, baker as well as retirements of martin and grimes plus others is a massive glut of experience out of the tigs

    They are in for a world of pain for seasons to come. Bolton is a massive loss and huge gain for Dockers if they nab him.

    Some more updates from Sam Edmund

    Dan Houston (Port Adelaide)

    “He was strongly linked to Melbourne for a time and that did appear the most likely outcome before things further unraveled at the Demons,” Edmund said.

    “There’s the possibility that he remains at Port, but with the Melbourne door closing they’ve been looking at other avenues.

    “One of those avenues is absolutely St Kilda. There has been conversations between club and player here. My understanding is Houston has a level of interest in getting to Moorabbin.

    “As things stand, he is one to watch when it comes to St Kilda’s trade period.”

    Tim Membrey (St Kilda)

    “He’s an unrestricted free agent, so that appeals to clubs. He’s only 30 and he’s unsure where he sits at St Kilda at the moment. He’s half expecting to be permitted to seek a trade elsewhere.”

    “There have been preliminary conversations with North Melbourne and I think a few other clubs, but nothing has progressed too far given he’s yet to learn what it looks like at Moorabbin.”

    Leek Aleer (GWS)

    “He’s a very bright young talent and in and out of a strong Giants backline.”

    “The phone has rung hot for him all year. He’s contracted until 2025 at the Giants. I’ve been told he’s determined to see out at least next year.

    “But 2025 is a big year for Aleer to make a decision and he’s no certainly no guarantee to stay on.”

    Matt Owies (Carlton)

    “I still think the more likely outcome is that he stays.”

    John Noble (Collingwood)

    “They only had a rough inkling of (his desire to get to the Gold Coast), Collingwood.”

    “There was an element of surprise internally at the Pies.”

    • 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.
