Hunter was a smart pickup - allowed us to move Brayshaw on-ball and he was more than handy in his first season. Combination of the arrival of Windsor, injury and age haven't helped him this year, but it wasn't the worst trade by a long shot.

My issue with Hunter is that he’s contributed nothing positive to our culture. In fact, quite the opposite. Was not worth it IMHO.

    thank you. That was my point too!

    Rarely advances the ball. Predominantly kicks sideways or backwards. No 

    Hey, sorry we didn't catch up at Port game I couldn't go. I'm o/s really enjoying pizzas in Naples.

    At the same time, it pushed Jordon out of the wing spot, which probably contributed to him leaving. Hunter also has had issues with professionalism, and i don't think it has helped his injury profile this year. Seemed pretty checked out this year.

    Hunter was a terrible short-sighted pick-up, as Caleb Daniel would be.

    He was. Unless he's really fallen off a cliff, Daniel is a far better footballer, but I'm not sure about his age. 

    Is the idea that as long as we have Oliver, Viney, Petracca, May and Gawn, we're in the flag window and so somehow duty bound to top up with 28 year olds?

    Rightly or wrongly, yes, that's exactly what they'll be doing

    On the plus side, we took two first rounders to the draft last year, and will take pick 5 this year, feels like we'll have a solid group of youngsters bubbling away. I'd rather take a punt on cheaper options like Daniel, rather than spend first round pick(s) on Houston that's for sure.

    Hunter effectively pushed Jordon out of the side.......That's aged well :(

    Daniel is so done.....please no

    Why waste a pick on Daniel?

    Lamb and Richardson need to go, pronto

    Good player who has been bevo'd. If we brought in no established players people would whinge too. At least he'll be cheapish.

    The same Dogs list management team brought in Oskar Baker and James Harmes, I don't think they have all the answers personally.

    Surely we won’t waste the mid 20’s ANB compensation pick on him? You’ll get a seriously good player with pick 25 in this years draft 

    Swans' pick 38 probs

    caleb daniel is reportedly on a heavily back-ended deal, $700-750k a year for the next two seasons

    his best position is as a running small defender who, well, doesn't defend that well cos he's so small

    i struggle to see how we can play bowey and daniel in the same side unless one of them changes roles

    Just play the one of the two that actually finds the ball

    Me too. Houston seemed like a really bad idea to me. Especially in this draft brimming with out-and-out onballers.

    I'm not sure how solid our under 22s are, though. Windsor looks excellent. McVee is really good. I think everyone is hopeful rather than certain about Jefferson. I'd rather bolster this area of the list than get another 28 year old "maybe" player.

    Agree, Daniel is a good player but he's not quick. Daniel and Bowey in the same zone defence would be vulnerable. 

    I did like it when he was on the Wizard briefly on Friday night - as someone said - both hoping for a contested marking opportunity.

    You're taking the [censored] if you're including Daniel's sub effected 2024 stats

    as opposed to those that bowey was subbed out of?

    my point stands - to my eye they play similar roles and having similar statistical outputs

    we don't need two of them, and certainly not a significant wage as a 29 and 30 year old

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
