Interesting. Let's see how homesick the lad is if there's only WC on the table at seasons end. 

"On second thought, let us not go to Camelot, for 'tis a silly place."

Feels like Jon Ralph is just condensing the usual process of making a new claim every week so that at the end of the year he can load up all the ones which turned out. Not very good for generating new click-throughs - he'll have to write a whole new article now.

Anyone else remember Rene Rivkin? Turns out he was the prototype for the modern football journalist.

As for the actual Pickett situation, I'm less and less concerned. Two-year future pick trading improves the prospects for a fair deal, and we would also be able to extract some value even from lesser picks to cash in for Kalani White.

Still hope he stays, but confident it'll work out okay for us if he feels the need to go.

    Like Melksham, Pickett is and could be an invaluable asset for Melbourne, as per what he is doing now, in the chase for a skills coach (unbelievable skills) when he decides to put down the footy.

    In my book all the more reason for him to stay with an initial leadership role with Melbourne's young indigenous brigade.

    How does it work dazzle. We just cave in?

    Only two options? 

    I find it interesting when people only see one alternative. It's not black so it must be white, and skip straight past puce, magenta and lilac. 🙂

    Just quietly.. I noticed Kozi is 'following' the Melbournefc instagram page again. Good to see. Fingers crossed for some positive vibes now that he is back into the team.

    Well that's a lot better than liking posts that link him back to wherever

    Can he stop doing that and knuckle down to what we're paying him good money to do?

    And he needs to stop getting reported for undisciplined acts ... he's no good to us on the sidelines

    He's definitely a keeper but we need him available, playing well and committed

    From David Zita

    Kysaiah Pickett has this week chosen to change managers from the SA-based Peter Rhode to WA-based Anthony Van Der Wielen. Van Der Wielen also manages Fremantle SSP signing Quinton Narkle, whose partner is the sister of Pickett's partner.

    If Goodwin goes (one way or another) Pickett will be next out the door.

    And won't be alone I imagine.

    West Coast could have picks 1 and 2 this year if Allen goes. Would suit us best to request a trade there in that case.

    Or perhaps we could float our future 1st plus kozzie for Harley Reid. Might be appealing to them now with us looking like a bottom 4 side.

    Freo will have a late pick most likely and none of their Victorian players seem keen to come home. Maybe we can see if Murphy Reid would be interested but he's locked into their team now so doubt that happens.

    It’s going to take a really good couple of years before players start considering us for trades.

    Even if we could get him, Reid doesn't look good cultural fit for us...

    • 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?

      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.
