I was thinking of a way to free up Jack Grimes to go into the midfield next year while also having someone damaging and a great kick off the half back line and my thoughts drifted to nick malceski from Sydney. Thoughts people ? is he worth pursuing?

Our backline is fine. No.

We have other areas of our structure that need way more attention.

Would cost a bit. Important player for the Swans and in AA contention this year.

Y not throw up a player who is lookin to be traded or has ambitions to move

Then maybe propose a player from our list who may need a trade

Not a well thought out thread

We need Pavlich but can we get him with Gold Coast havin picks etc - NO

Lets not be silly

Need Pavlich?

Not likely.

I wouldn't take him even if he wanted to come to us.

You need to think about the logistics and repercussions of a trade also.

I think one of McCarthy, Heppell, or Smedts will be available to us at pick 12. Any of those kids would be a brilliant addition imo.. They're the sort of rebounding defenders any team would want...Defensively competent, and dangerous when in possession.

We absolutely need one of these type of players as we dont have one currently.

I wouldn't be chasing Malceski or Drummond. We'd have to give up something unreasonable for them (including stupid amounts of cash), and they've both had the LARS surgery. So I mean their legs could fall off at any time...hardly a wise move.

I'm liking your posts, DD. Keep it up. But I've heard some pretty good things about that surgery, so that wouldn't bother me. Not to mention the fact that if we did get Drummond, we'd be doing him a favour by getting him off that slab of concrete that is the centre of the Gabba pitch.

Very true RE: GABBA surface... probably contributes a lot to their injuries (same with Subi). I'd be happy to have either of those players. The only worry is regarding what we'd have to give up to get either of them in terms of money and picks/players..

You'd obviously take Drummond for a 4th round pick in a heartbeat. We'd have to give up more meaningful picks though, and in Drummond's case, he wants 450k a season apparently, which is a lot for a bloke who's so injury prone..

It's pointless talking about malceski as he is probably one of sydney's most important players.

Where as I think Watson will be a great rebounding player off half back who can also go forward, someone we may look at with pick 12. He is a great kick and similar to drummond

Take a bow son.

Matty Watson is exactly whats needed.

Warnock could then be offloaded with confidence that it wont come back to bite us.

why does grimes suddenly have to play midfield. warnock in the two`s keeps pressure on the other kpd, unless he wants out he stays.

WATSON can be used in various positions and melb would use him similar to a drummond or maceski, he reads the play very well and very rarely wastes the ball. I think this is what we lack coming out of defence and off half back.

    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.

    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.

    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.
