Jamar for Captain :P

:D :D

Funny.

I realise that Jamar's work in the ruck contests has had the benefit of seven years training, and I don't for one minute think his 5 goals are a sign of the future. Basically, he plays half a dozen games this year and goes from being one of the worst players in the league to being one of the possible "big names" that's going to be traded. Jamar is not a big name, and I doubt he ever will be. Serviceable, sure, but not big name.

I have an awful feeling that Sylvia is on the way to another club. Now THAT one will hurt.

Brock this year was breathtakingly slow. Despite that, I was prepared to cut him some slack on the grounds he was carrying some injury. If not, he is not much of a loss, sorry to say, because as well as slow he was not particularly effective by foot.

The consensus from those I have talked to - not all Demon supporters - is that we have done very well out of this deal. So let's roll with it. I'd be much more concerned if Davey or Silvia or Jamar were to go. Jamar is not in the same class as the first two but he is vastly under-rated on this site.

just as a what if..

Should it be Garland then Id be a tad disappointed..but then we havent had him this year..either. Who's to say whether he'll ever really get over his foot etc.

...alas...a little rain must fall .."lol".. Change is a bit like that. Rather keep him..but wont lose sleep

According to channel 9 news its Davey, "the out of contract star speaking to a number of other clubs".

That would undo all our good work if Davey and McLean were to leave in one season.

I didnt see the news but i hope it is not true.

I dont think the MFC will let him go and I dont think Davey wants to go. He would be talking to other clubs to up his price for his new contract I would hope. I think the Dee's will just have to come to terms with paying him more to keep him. Get his brother in the Red & Blue and they will be with us all the way.

Pick 22 and Dunn for Alwyn. (Pick 22 via Miller & Valenti trade to Sydney). I would prefer to keep Pick 18.

How bad were people talking? He was certainly good this year... In the few games he played.

With Sylvia, he signed, right?

Pretty certain you heard the news late.

Hence Redleg's comforting sentence.

I see what you mean... though at the stage redleg knew, it wasn't official. Or at least it wasn't known by EVERYONE.

Thank goodness, in any case.

The Davey thread? Was it locked because it is 100% he will re-sign or just to stop the speculation?

Although not first hand info, my Father in law (mad essendon member and has a few connections) told me he has heard the Colin Garland to essendon rumor from his end.

Apparently they are looking at players that can play forward and back to help fill the void left by Lucas/Lloyd and soon to be Fletcher.

I hope this does not happen, and hope the dees can lock him up for 2-3 years as I believe he is a super talent with much development ahead of him. When word is out that another club wants one of your young, talented & uncontracted players it is cause for concern.

The fact he has a moon boot on could hurt his trade value. If i hear anything else from the essendon rumor mill I will keep you all posted.

Would hate to lose Garland!!

I heard this a lot last trading period. I think its probably just a rumour thats carried over.

Nothing to be too concerned about. And Essendon needs other types more urgently

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
