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

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
