That's a rare thing. A sensible post.

Nobody, including Freak can say he's going. Likewise, nobody can say for sure he's staying. Things change VERY quickly. Let's say the Ablett thing falls through, they'll have more money to throw at uncontracted players then, and suddenly the landscape changes. We're MONTHS away from an answer here I think.

Yeah, contracts, but from a GC-17 perspective, the players they're interested in are evaporating as the season wears on. I;d say they would have to have there Main signings done by now, or its nearly, 'The ship has sailed time',,, The GAblett thing, you'ld think, must be sealed, one way or the other, by now, or there won't be any Marquee player.

Newcomers to Demonland! You have experienced one of the mysteries of Demonland...

Freak is the anti-oracle.

It's cruel to kick a guy when he is down but I really hope he bags every player we have, tells us the coach has no idea and that there is no hope of a flag in the next 5 years.

However much he's getting paid...multiplied by ten

Yeah. That's one thing that's hurting them as time goes on, that SO much hinges on the Ablett thing. I reckon you're right, the fact that everyone around him is signing at their original clubs shows perhaps that the money they're getting isn't all i's cracked up to be, ad that Ablett may have already cleared off with the biggest piece of the pie.

Interesting times.

PS...

How much do we all love Ricky right now? One of the most important signings of the last 5 or so years for mine. Probably the happiest I've felt that we retained a player since the time Ooze was on the move to the Blues. (That should probably make me nervous, but it doesn't).

He is worth 200k a year IMO.

Yeah I think GAblett jnr is a dunn deal, & there's probably more... Our case I think is different that our players can see the quality were accumulating, 7 realise the high Potential of success for our list going forward. It's a youthfull & vibrant place to be right Now with things falling into place allover, around us ATMO.

A great thing for a young guy, to be associated with. Thanks Juddy.

However, think about GWS,,, how hard will it be for them to draw a Marquee player or two from the existing competition as teams will be locking them away contractually.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.
