He should not have played this week. Barely trained all week and was surprised they didnt being in McStay

McRae knows his list has zero depth.

No other reason to play Howe, Mihocek or Pendelbury

Massive risk that backfired beautifully

    Agree. He clearly wasn’t right and it showed. The Pies take a risk and it failed tonight.

    A Gaping hole was exposed with a 37 y.o Pendlebury missing the entire match.

    Once Pendles and Sidebottom retire its going to hit them very hard.

    Whilst I don’t believe BM will be the best pick up we could have, I think he would be handy.

    Tonight people are ripping into him, when he’s up against one of the best defence teams in the game, who won it last year and are in another gf. Bit still to be saying “rubbish idea”.

    Have a look at our forward line and tell me we don’t need as much help as possible.

    I am typically very much for taking a risk when there's no draft picks needing to be spent

    I'd take the punt on him for 2 years. The Age article suggested there would be a trigger for a 3rd year, so basically it's up to us at that point whether he goes on.

    I can see where you’re coming from. Also we have tried for a few years to get a key forward in and he is the only one we have got one the hook.

    But…. We already have Melksham on the books who has only averaged 12 games over the past 5 years and is now a year older. Also we made this play before with McAdam who can’t get in the park. So I don’t think we are in a position to take a punt on a 33 year old with injuries. Worst case we are paying a fair chunk of our cap on 3 players on the injury list.

    I’m more in favour of planing for the future rather than next year. We are still paying for Gus, possibly paying for some of Tracs wage should he leave and as I said before have McAdam not playing.

    They should have used that new forward of theirs. Can’t recall his name. But looked good when he debuted.

    Mihocek for May. No salaries being subsidised either way.

    Get it done.

    Why not! No more than a 2 year deal.

    $650-700k a year, he's not worth more than that.

    I’d be interested who would be more beneficial to us in 2026?

    May at full back or Mihocek at full forward?

    We have 4 names that could all be best 22 key backs (Lever, Petty, Disco, McDonald). There's a world where Adam's and/or Derksen (should he actually exist) make the grade too.

    We only have 1 guy who is a permanent fixture as a key forward (and even that may be debatable) in JVR.

    Half the team would be carrying niggles as this time of year. It’s a calculated risk

    McRae said after the game they have offered him 2 years.

    Be nice to try at least one of our key backs as a forward.

    Your 💯 right.

    We couldn't attract a youngish key forward in our pomp years now we are looking at 33 y.o.

    In saying that he started his career in the AFL later on.

    He also has the same birthday as me so I'll give him that. 😂

    He was 24 y.o making his AFL debut so he would easily have 2 years left in the tank.

    Not sold on the 3 year deal on the table for him, has to have a performance condition on a 3rd year of a potential deal.

    Coming back from injury I think. Maybe to soon and should have not played.

    Along with Pendlebury, who was limping before the game start. Sad really😏

    Feels odd we are after him with a three year deal but are getting rid of May.

    I get the feeling there is more involved with May than form/ ability.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca  

      The superstar Demon midfielder made a successful return to the fold after his devastating injury last year and the subsequent fallout from the treatment he received, during which time he sought to depart the club. Petracca's professionalism and strong play, both in the midfield and up forward, were outstanding and resulted in him being runner-up in the club's best and fairest count. However, early this week, the club's new CEO, Paul Guerra, confirmed that the under-contract Petracca has again requested a trade, adding that he would only be allowed to leave for a “quality offer that turns our head". No doubt some Demon heads are already spinning.
