Few deals done. Think we will have Hogan tomorrow or Wednesday, the way Harrington was gushing about him. If we can get pick 20 back in the deal I can see the Dawes deal being done for that quickly, so Pies can move on. Eddie is referring to him as a past player already. He seems happy to come to us, unlike Wellingham and Caddy.

It's time for T$ closure. It's time for JV to smash him a good one next year, and we can all laugh and move on having dodged the biggest bullet of all time.

Amen. You know I can't mention him, but I was thinking, how funny would it be, with Whitfield and Toumpas and others added to the GWS list, if he can't make the side. $1M a year to play in the local seconds.

Would be funnier if we poached Whitfield.

Oh the laughs!

Well after all the dust settles after the trading, the drafting and the trimming I'm not sure I'll recognize our team.

Hallelujah and tftf !!!!! :)))

Don't think I've look so forward to the 1st round so much for a long long long time.:)

I think your memory is failing bb

Seem to remember great excitment after 2010 season and drafting.

Then again last year after Neeld was appointed.

Both ended in disaster.

Now I will admit this year does look way better than this time last year because we are changing some of the cattle this year.

So I hope 2013 shows a small amount of improvement.

Closure? I know what you're saying, but 4 and 13 haven't been finalised yet in terms of their use.

I only thought I was excited those other times as it was obviously a false illusion !!! Lol

This time as you surmise, real change combined with an injection of meaningful acquisitions = some real chance at a competitive team.

Just made a resolution

I am staying off "The drafting and trading board"

Hope it turns out better than my New Year Resolutions!

I can't I am addicted. Some of the rubbish defies belief, but it's great reading.

My problem Redleg is I find myself yelling at the screen.

Along the lines of " you -u----- idiot."

Best I try and stay away.

I believe that part of the deal finalised today for Hogan and Barry was that Jack Viney must cease and desist from any attempt at tackling, body slams or other violent attacks on the little mongrel until the end of the 2014 season.

Nice to have you aboard Chelly

But there is something you need to know.

That person you mention ( not J Viney )

is not to be mentioned on this thread.

It is a ------ free zone.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. 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
