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.”

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
