Been a while since I have posted but has anyone heard anything about the Demons being linked to Ash Johnson from Collingwood? Shane McAdam connection allegedly has Johnson interested in joining the Demons. I assumed he was contracted but can't find details.

    Unless he is delisted he won't be leaving and the fact Kreuger has been let go indicates he is needed.

    Also fyi, Shane and Ash are brothers

    Contract for next year, so wasn't traded.

    Wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole. He's got poor attitude and work ethic. He battled away in the VFL for most of the year despite the Pies crying out for forward targets due to injuries to Mihocek and McStay. 

    Struggled in VFL, kicking 10+ goals less than our own youngster Jefferson. 

    Probably best to close this thread and burn it with fire.

    He’s contracted for next year and wasn’t traded so he’d have to be delisted with a year to run to get to Melbourne.

    He looked like the worst player in the league in 2024. Made Shane look good by comparison. Lazy, uninterested, devoid of confidence.

    If he didn’t have a contract I don’t think he’d be on an afl list in 2025.

    We have been humiliated by Collingwood for about 2 years now.

    They laugh at us!

    No way should we take another lazy footballer!

    His brother Shane McAdam is lazy enough!

    I am a No. Huge disappointment this year at the Pies.  Played VFL and lack of work ethic. Has the talent.  Not the dedication. He’s contracted so unless he’s delisted, move on.

    Seems similar to his brother re preparing and training or are you just [censored]..d off with the family unfairly? 

    If this is true then why are they not keeping him instead of Krueger who also seems injured all the time. 

    BTW is Krueger a cousin of Shane and Ash by any chance?

    Reckon a chance on Krueger would not be stupid move for sssp or get him to on train with us in pre season,

    I never referred to his family. Not sure why you've mentioned them?

    I gave my opinion on a player struggling for form at VFL level who is worse performed than options we already have in the VFL. The common knock on him is poor work ethic. His VFL coach Fraser even called out his poor work ethic in a post game interview late in the year. 

    Unless Johnson has a great season next year, he won't be on an AFL list going forward. He's being kept by the Pies because he's still got a contract, where as Kreuger is out of contract. Kreuger is an injury prone battler and will likely head home to SA to play in the SAFL if he can get on the park.

    Nah his family is from Darwin/Alice Springs (Kreuger)

    Just another on a long list of AFL players who showed a glimpse of immense talent when playing Melbourne...and at no other time in what inevitably turned out to be a short career.

    Started his career with a bang but then got bored with footy and is now running the clock down on his contract. Will be back in Port Hedland or wherever after next season.

    Markov helps win them a flag last year then delisted/rookied 

    Nice way to reward him

    Rookie spots need a major overhaul if Markov gets a rookie spot

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • 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?
