Unfortunately FS is just before trade week starts to stop this sort of thing. Sorry about that.

Wasn't aware of that. Nuts.

Well, get in the boy's ear and tell him to drop off this year so we can take him as a third rounder. :cool:

Why is Stretch allowed to train with us? Some sort of conditional rule regarding father/son picks?

He and Angus Brayshaw were training with us as part of the AIS program a couple of months ago. Is that what you're referring to?

We're talking about Paul Roos here. His recruitment at the Swans was second to none. I predict we'll get Stretch with a second round pick, so what the club will do is offload our high second round pick (probably between 19 and 22 at this rate) in exchange for a player and low second round pick from another club, likely at the top end of the ladder (teams overflowing with depth and keen on better picks so they can continue developing youngsters).

Then we can use this lower pick (around 30 to 36) on Stretch. That way we get the value out of our second rounder, and the kid who wants to bleed red and blue for us at a bargain pick.

F/S nominations are before the trade period. We will likely be able to get Stretch with a third round pick at the earliest.

F/S nominations are done before the trading period. It is impossible for this scenario to work.

I like your forward thinking though!

Just a quick update Billy has played the last 2 games in the seniors for Glenelg and has showed promise. Will be a good development for him playing against bigger bodies.

I think we will take him F/S but i like what we have done, we have left him a couple of doubts to see if he will work his ass off to get that red and blue jumper.

i dont think we have left him with any doubts, i think he is just answering the best way he should answer it for the club, if he went out and said the club guaranteed they would use a 1st round selection on me, how does that benefit any party.

no doubt he if was in victoria the club would have done a similar thing to what they did with viney and got him playing for casey, but seniors sanfl is a better learning experience than TAC cup so it gives him every oppourtunity to develop.

if you read the article it says he'd like to play for melbourne, we have had a little bit of contact but basically only said look we want to watch you over the year and see how you go, so he would be feeling the better he plays the better his chances which is exactly what we want.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.
