With Nick Holman now running around in the VFL, it would be very handy if we could get him back for his twilight years.

If he came back Holman would be a great addition to the doggies.

He's 30 now but if fit could keep going for a few more years.

He'd leave the gold coast for Elizabeth? It'd be a big get, but also a difficult one.

Holman loved his time at CDFC and has helped us recruit a few Wilson Barry, Ryan Pickering & Brinn Little

Any thoughts on who might win our B & F this season .
I thought Kade Dittmar,Beau Thomas and Rhett Montgomerie would be the best chances

[another grub]

Ditts

Most times I saw CD this season I was impressed with Beau Thomas
Key forward/Ruckman , makes him perhaps the most valuable player in the team in 2025 ?
Good mark, accurate kick for goal , yeah no surprise if he wins the B/F

[northerner]

Thomas and Dittmar will poll well.
Chisholm had a strong year.
Whitelum will finish higher than most think.

[UK Fan]

Thomas will be fav

Luca Ditts Chisolm Pudney to fight for the minor placings IMHO!!.

Anzac for most improved.

[southernbulldog]

With Thommo going into his 6th season as coach again in 2026
anything less than a top 3 finish will be unacceptable
Recruiting will be vital if we are to seriously challenge the top sides and we were clearly
well below them this year .
Hopefully we move the ball quicker into the forwards like we did early in the season when we actually scored
instead of reverting to bombing it in which again clearly didnt work

Durdin dropped by Carlton & has signed with Port,
another CDFC boy playing against us in the SANFL.

I think Durdin will play a fair bit of AFL next year. Power without Rioli and McEntee plus powell-pepper is out with an ACL. They are light on for small forwards

You do understand it’s a trade?

[southernbulldog]

Be interesting to see if we hear about any departures or ins at the B & F tonight

Zac Diekman has just been signed by Kapunda (his junior club) for the 2026 season.

That may be to give him a local club should he need it.

Thoughts on mccarty DOC ??

Very solid footballer. Gets it enough. Easily in our best team.

Missed a lot of footy over the last two years with foot and back issues. .

All our players have a club to drop back to,
they might need to go back if returning from an injury or hit poor form.
