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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
