Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
Will Faulkner, the author of this article was also constantly pushing for NAS to join the Crows as well. Definitely a biased news source.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
Crows don't have picks but they have cap space This makes them a very suitable trade partner Pick swaps and future pick trading can make this work

The List Manager
Heath/Derksen should both cost 4th rounders IMO 2nd rounder for Heath surely not

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
There was 1 trade rumour he was going to the Bulldogs that was shutdown immediately

Rumours
Holmes was taken with pick 20, Bowey at 21, Laurie at 22. Am I missing something here?

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
I don't disagree but the correlation of May signing a 1 year extension under Goody, and then being told to back his bags under King sticks out like a sore thumb.

Steven May's Future
Genuinely one of my favourite players of all time. At the peak of his powers, he was a force to be reckoned with. However, he is no longer a required player, for so many reasons. On-field attitude is terrible. Criticising others, spitting the dummy and pointing fingers. This used to be okay when he was easily the no 1 KPD in the league, but now it's just crass. We are also stacked for key defenders, with Derksen and Petty with potential to fill his role amongst Turner and Adams. We also have Tom McDonald ready to play as that mature KPD, who has also arguably been the superior player the last 2 years and carries none of the baggage Maysie does. Love ya Maysie but it's time.

Jack Henderson Re-Signs for 1 Year
We just delisted nearly 3/4 of cat A rookie list. We can retain Henderson comfortably and still have plenty of list spots. He gets a chance to go again with a full preseason. Makes sense with Spargo's move. We have a really weak draft hand at the moment. Recycling rookies without giving them a real chance gets you nowhere.

Bassett leaves the Dees
Last year was one of our worst ever for scores against, not much lost IMO

The Wade Derksen Thread
Howes and Adams are not guaranteed to make senior level, Jefferson and Kentfield as well. Fullarton, Hore, and Verrell delisted. We have room on our list for a mature tall. He will cost very little. He is stuck behind a very strong suite of key defenders in Buckley, Taylor and Idun. Can play forward or back. Mature body, big unit, 197cm. Known quantity, had a very good year in the VFL. Very unlikely we draft a player using a 4th rounder that can match him physically. Absolutely worth a punt. Could be another Sharp, but he is some physical traits that mean who could be more.

Our Salary Cap
Yep, this discussion is purely based on vibes

Welcome to Demonland: Steven King
It has restored some faith to see the football club act in unity, with effectively zero internal leaks regarding this process. Massive credit to the board for finally giving some stability and direction to the club. Looking forward to the presser.

The Sam Flanders Thread
Tim Lamb special will do, package up some later picks to help them bid on academy players. I don't think the saints will be able to offer a sizeable deal if Windhager resigns, which looks likely. Carlton also have a top heavy cap, and in my biased opinion, look like a less appealing option compared to us.

Farewell Charlie Spargo
Maybe, he was a big loss to Casey, played some good footy before the shoulder injury.

The Sam Flanders Thread
DL be like losing Jordon, Bedford, Harmes was bad list management DL also be like don't bother trading in mature age depth, it's bad list management

The Sam Flanders Thread
GC don't give a rats about draft capital. They have so many academy players that they don't have a real need for first round picks.

Delistings 2025
Honestly who knows, just trying to make sense of it all. A strong maybe
-
Delistings 2025
MFC media reporting Billings and the MFC have decided to mutually part ways. So, maybe he is not delisted in the same way the other players were. He may be joining another club as a free agent, but is not as far along in the process as Spargo.

Rule changes proposed for 2026
Very happy with last touch out of bounds It is completely ridiculous that players can get pinged for insufficient attempt off a miskick or bad disposal. But players holding the ball can just walk it out of bounds with no penalty.

The Wade Derksen Thread
We traded pick 49 for sharp This by all measures, is not a good pick

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
An interesting and positive article; glad to see this snippet too The Demonsโ business plan for building a new home base at Caulfield Racecourse is progressing well. Two competition and one racing source, who preferred to stay anonymous, said relevant parties were aligned for the first time.

The Marcus Windhager Thread
We've been desperate for a two way running defensive mid since ANB left. We are desperate for quality depth. Would be at the least, an immediate upgrade on Spargo/Kolt/Sharp/Sparrow who played a lot this year. Your bottom 6 players might be your most important. He also has the ceiling to be a lot more than that too.
