Maybe Pickett’s asked for a trade to Freo 

No I don’t think so we are in need of another half forward who can kick 30 goals plus per season.

Plus Spargo should return this year and I suppose we can always hope with McAdam.

    Yeah he kicked 33 goals this season but that was it. He’s a one trick pony who has no other positive attributes as a footy player. 

    At least he can kick goals and they win Matches plus I have noticed that over 66 years of watching footy and the Dees.

    Watching those highlights he looks very handy, I reckon he'd be a great addition.  Let's go get him!

    Way better prospect than Caleb Daniel.

    No Daniel is more versatile and is courageous and very competitive plus would kick goals if played up forward.

    Can play wing and half back/pocket also. Would be in our best 23 if Bowey does not go to another level like at the start of his career.

    daniel is also rumoured to be owed more than a $1.5m over the next two seasons under a heavily back-ended contract

    owies is likely to be on average wage, so probably close to $350k a year

    There is not much in ability between Bedford and Chandler but Bedford is a more  standard type half forward and has wider skills and can tag. 
    Chandler is stronger and tackles and competes harder but is not as skilful as Toby. 

    Spargo is better than either but Kossie is easily the best but if more time is put in with him he could go to another level I believe. 

    bedford doesn't play as a half-forward any more really - he's a midfield tagger first and foremost; he certainly doesn't impact the scoreboard anything like as much as he used to do when he was more of a half-forward

    he was also in / out of the gw$ side before 'settling' into this position at which he has excelled

    Spargo is a hack, and was playing for Casey last year. If he wasn't contracted, he'd be delisted. I haven't given up on McAdam.

    At least Owies can impact the scoreboard.

    Well he has got an opportunity to return to form and see if he can play any better in 2025. He may surprise but we need goals from our half forwards.

    Spargo isn't going to kick many goals. His highest was 18 in 2021, since then that numbers gone down and accuracy has always been iffy.

    Charlie's best position is as a hard running high HF where he can be link up player. There's an opportunity for him in this role now that ANB has left which I'd like him to push for. His strength has always been his vision, ball use going inside 50 and pressure/tackling.

    Hopefully a fit Spargo can push to get back into best 22 this year. The club obviously still rates him highly as they brought him in for opening round round this season even though he was underdone. (wrongly it turns out) But still.

    Spargo is no good, repeat no good, slow, doesn't kick enough goals and have I said it SLOW

    Spargo averages 11 possessions, 2 tackles and .64 goals a game over his 98 game career. Spargo is none of the things you describe above.

    Fair enough I guess your detailed stats say it all. Poor kick inside 50, doesn't kick goals (agreed and mentioned) and can't tackle or provide pressure.

    Would rather the Demons pursue Jacob Konstanty.

    He was drafted by the Swans but hasn't been offered a new contract.

    Was highly rated in his draft year only a few years ago.

    Here is his highlights video shown below:

    I remember him from that draft but it is difficult to be seduced by a young kid who can’t earn his second contract at the club he has been with for the last 2 years… I’m not a huge Owies fan but at least the guy has kicked 60 goals at AFL level over the past two seasons

    Was talking about Owies to my cousins last night (fellow 'Baggers) and they were saying we might be exploring someone like Papley, yes he is a better forward and all round player but Papley has not stood up when it really counts, in a grand final!

    Despite some of his limitations Owies does actually kick goals regularly, consistently (which I quite like in a forward, lol). Reckon if he was in a grand final he could kick a couple and not go missing like some Swans "stars".

    We are hoping he stays in Navy Blue. Just give him another $100K and be done with it, he wants to remain in Navy Blue.

    If he does goes to the Dees, hope he kicks even more than this season to stick it to those at Princes Park that opened the door for him on the way out 😁

    Carlton want to push him out and now lack of suitors? I really hope we don't get involved. Over rated IMO

    I don't think its a case of Carlton wanting to push Owies out, think it is more a case of Owies seeking a larger salary on tne back of a good season. I suspect the Blues are happy to keep him if he re-signs on a similar amount to his current contract.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
