What's wrong, you dissapointed that there is no mention of Cameron Cloke

"I would never EVER even dream of wanting to recruit Cameron Cloke! Lol, jk, I'm E25."

Thanks wise, but I'm just a bit bored.

As they say, no such thing as bored, just boring people!

And you're one of them.

Ow, that hurts. Bloke starts a thread with what he knows through his job which, at this time of the year, is all there is to talk about football wise and you rubbish it. Jealous you didn't start it? Or you simply have nothing decent to add? I'm going for the latter.

I think that we are in a win - win with Warnock. He is a good player to keep on the list, and if we are playing hard ball, then it seems like we will only give him up for something good. Happy if that is the situation.

Thanks for some good reading "Nudge" keep it up

interesting there is some1 on big Footy who says they hear trade talk at there job aswell.

He says we are right into David Hale and interestingly says Sherman will either go to Richmond or Melbourne, go on and have a look he gives info on all 16 clubs.

Gs07's trade news pt 2.

It mentions Richmond and Melbourne are Shermans preferred clubs. It's in the Brisbane summary.

Here are a few pieces of scuttlebutt hovering around Demons.

Please remember that 98% of mentioned deals do NOT eventuate, but a fact is that over 25 deals a team get proposed through this period. it is best to try and limit the ones posted to those that seem to have some momentum and generally more than one source.

If you don't like what you hear, relax, it most likely will not happen. I'm reporting what I am lucky to hear through my job with my news publication with three sports management offices also in the building.

I post them not becuse I think they are going to happen, but simply I have heard them mentioned directly from numerous people. Most importantly, I post them because its interesting to know and as Demon fans you deserve to know and enjoy the mystery/intruige of it all! 

Here you are:

- Warnock highly sought, Demons playing hardball (some feel to simply increase value, some think we genuinely will not trade). Proposed offers from Carlton (Setanta, Fisher & Grigg mentioned), Hawks (Muston, Dowler, picks), Dogs (Hill, Everitt). Saints also believed to be keen. 

- Jones close to a deal, Bombers still hunting as are GC. Houli a mentioned possibility if he leaves. Also murmours of a swap with Stanton. Most likely to re-sign.

- Kyle Cheney being shopped around. 

- Clayton Hinkley likely to be a Demon. Trade for a pick appears most likely at this stage.

- David Hale now appears most likely to be part of Jacobs/Walker trade. Latest word is Demons may give Warnock away as part of the deal (Carlton)

- Jesse White a priority, Swans playing hard ball. Very unlikely!

- Taylor Walker being shopped by Crows, demons baulking at asking price. Appears dead in water.

- Ben McKinley looking likely to land at either Demons or Tigers. Will depend on Walker/Hale.

- Andrejs Everitt high on radar if cheap.

- David Armitage has spoken with 4 clubs, Dees one.

- Cam Bruce still very much in limbo

- Alwyn Davey has reportedly requested trade to Demons. Hird appointment may change this though. Also with Stanton.

- Addam Maric has requested a trade. Possible swap for Davey

- Delisted Roo Josh Smith likely to do pre-season with Demons. Possible Rookie.

Thats about all I have heard. Only ones that are looking more than just minor discussions ar this stage are Hale, Maric, Davey & Warnock. As They are coming up in numerous peoples info.

Ensure your salt grains are handy, Trade week is sheer craziness people. 

Try to remember that.

Great stuff Nudge...

If nothing else, certainly some food for thought and the possibles mentioned all have different merits depending on what we give up.

We are in a good positions, there are a few players with Warnock prime as a full back, that clubs are looking at but we don't REALLY have to go to hard yet.

It's a good position as we have a little upper hand.

Those that know me would realise that I'm reasonably conservative with my offerings.

I can't say that this is 100%, but I've heard this afternoon that Nathan Jones has decided to go to the GC.

I'm led to believe that Nathan went to school at Peninsula Grammar and I've heard from an excellent source via that school that Jones is leaving.

Don't shoot me if it turns out to be wrong.

If true,, I'm both saddened & excited by the possibilities.. Saddened because Jones'y is just one you can't help but respect & love. But also I see his future as limited with us & we must get every move right, so we have to be a little selfish in our one way quest to build this club into a premiership Unit. That means there will be pain associated with this rebuild.

Just curious, if Jones does leave, what would our compo be?

I presume it would be a pick after the first round, like Brown, Bock n Habrow.

I remember hearing that if the player was drafted in the last 4 years, their draft pick (pick 12 in Jones' case) would be taken into consideration. Does Jones qualify for this? If so could we get a first rounder?

i enjoy reading the bulk of your posts, consider him gone

I don't love the idea of Justin Sherman. Seems like a wannabe Colin Sylvia. When he's good he's good but fades out of games way too much and rates himself far too highly as well. Also think he'd want abit too much. I guess at the right price though probably worthwhile

    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.
