"... they (The Demons) say they're pretty keen to push someone through to the PSD as well, that's part of their strategy. It remains to be seen who that would be."

"Can't remember this much action on the 1st day of trading. Still a bit to come. Our focus is keeping/improving picks, with an eye to the PSD" - Cameron Schwab on Twitter.

I like our approach, just sitting back quietly trying to lure someone into the PSD.

It would be nice if it was someone decent from Fremantle seeing as they tried to F us in the A luring Davey into the pre-season draft.

One problem would be finding someone decent on Freo's list. But they get screwed annually (not a typo) in the draft/trade period, so something should happen.

What's Chris Mayne's status.

Isnt it nice to know we are now predators and not patsy's !! :)

For all the people out there who were unhappy to win no more than 4 games this year.

This is the Reason.

We go into Trade week with Power & Clout. WE Call the Shots.

How i would love to get Brian Lake in the PSD. Now that would toughen up our Backline straight away.

The longer it is that he does not sign....The more chance we have of it Happening.

Imagine we lose Mclean for Pick 11 & gain Lake in the PSD!!!

Thanks Jordan McMahon....Thanks!!!

I'd suggest he'd much rather go to Melbourne (where he can command his salary) and know what he's joining as opposed to risking being taken in the ND by anyone.

mate no one ones to came to the dees, sb will agree with any thing so he won't came to the dees,there is no value for anyone above the age of 27 to came to the dees, unless we offer them big bucks,by the time the dees are in the top 4 SB will be about 32,and anyway his knee will only stand up for 2 maybe 3 years at most,they player that want's to leave their clubs will ratter sign up with their team then go to the dees, this is the sad fact at the moment,Mclean could see that by about the age of 28 his body will be finished,and his lack of speed, will really show in about 4 years time, that's why he left. carlton are almost at the window.

Rubbish. Carlton without Fevola are very vulnerable & they Know it.

If we recriut well this year we can start climbing straightaway.

Those who keep saying 3-4 years away are far too soft & Conservative.

We have already done 3 years Hard Labour, so the improvement should be a lot quicker than some think.

This Club will soon be able to lure some big names.

Resigning the Alignment with the MCC was the first step to Respectability....Just you wait.

Guys, read between the lines...

its obvious that they are talking about Shaun Burgoyne...

All the other 'uncontracted' players are set for other moves..Drum,Peake etc etc

There is no way we will get Burgoyne but hopefully mark williams decides to be a problem for the potential deal...

surely he won't let him go for nothing? another nick stevens? its ridiculous..

Maybe Williams will help out his old friend (Bailey), and drop SB in to the PSD. That is of coures, if MFC give Jamar cheaply.

Ha :lol:

from what i've heard so far, Lovett hasn't drawn any attention.

if the blues cant do a deal with Fev I would pay $500 to get Greg Swann "balls" removed ... because he has no use for them

Adelaide would not let Dangerfield go into the PSD.

I'd trade pick 18 for him though.

They'll want way more than pick 18, it would have to be 18 + a very good player, they got him at pick 11? from memory.

Well, he did nominate some clubs of choice didn't he?....Hawthorn, Melbourne & Essendon. With Hawthorn his preferred. If a deal cannot satisfy Port from the Hawks, the Dees are right in it.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the Dees met with Burgoyne's manager the 'day before' he met with the Hawks & Bombers at Docklands a couple of weeks back... :)

Now that apparently the Hawks have "cooled" on SB, we suddenly shoot up to pole position.

So would I.

I would trade 11 and 18 for him. He is going to be a star. Scully Trengove and Dangerfield in one draft, thats good enough for me.

Lovett asking too much $$. It's no wonder IMO.

Soft.

With an awful haircut.

Stupid hair cut. Yes.

Soft. Not from the games I've seen from him.

His knock i would have would be his field kicking but no worse then Ricky Petterd. He's very smart footballer, leads well, knows where to run and has good hands. Is a very good set shot and works both ways. Very confident he'll be a player.

A lot has been made of Salopek and Boak but i would make a play for Robbie Gray from Port. Get him back to Victoria. This kid can flat out play. Class and poise. Body is a worry and needs a check through.

He's still cheap trade wise compared to the other two and I'm confident his value will sky rocket too.

Jesse Smith? The Australian reports he is out of contract and may be seeking a change.

Has talent, and would be a good player, if, and a big if, our medicos think he can get back on the park

Is that the bloke NM continually rave about as their next big thing?

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
