Sylvia and our 1st round pick for Gary Rohan.

Do it.

I dont mind this trade although it is in Sydneys favor.

They might come at that with a later pick as a bit of a square up?

Of course I wish S Reid was available - but seriously - he is the future of that whole club with the structure he provides. No chance. I also do not think that Jack or Hannebry are going anywhere......

What about Sylvia & Morton to Sydney for Gary Rohan, Jed Lamb & Lewis Johnston??? They'd be giving up a lot of their young forwards.

I doubt a deal like this could be worked but these are players of theirs I'd like.

I would seriously give up our first round pick for Rory Sloane!!! Kill me... But he will be a star. Tough as nails!

Completely agree. Exactly the type we need.

What about Jamar for Boak.

Why would we be moving Russian on ? :blink:

No Deal

No Deal

You need to give up somebody good to get somebody good. Port need a ruckman we need skillfull mids, I think long term Boak would help us more than Jamar.

If I were an opposition player and I saw Cale Morton come to me I'd just be lickiing my lips and laughing out loud. He is the least intimidating figure in the competition. He's not going to hurt you physically or mentally. What does he have going for him? His skills are ordinary, particularly under pressure. I can't see why any club would consider him as a trade option.

Yep, & I think, IF the Russian was interested in a big payday, He would perhaps get more from the GWS, who would pay more, but would give us the picks to use or deal. Either on an U-17 Mini draft,,,,, OR, to deal to Port, (who desperately need to build their List, this draft or 2012), who may want to deal a player who want's to leave.

This is the area I think we have to look at, Re The Russian & Davey. Both currently 28+...

OUR Biggest problem is the OLD guard have that Slow Mo Idea of play, that Ultra Conservative take NO Risks Footy..

HELL, the whole CLUB is stuck in this Conservativeness! It's NOT a 'Take no Prisoners' mentality, It's take NO Chances mentality... This is the Culture of our Club!

Rory Sloane

Patrick Dangerfield

Particularly like these two. Paddy apparently keen to cross the border, but would cost several arms and several legs, I would think. Sloane plays as though he doesn't subscribe to the principle of bruise-free footy, despite his slight frame.

I wonder if Sydney would give up Kennedy for Sylvia and someone else. Kennedy is exactly the sort of player we need right now.

Kennedy is just about the exact type of player that any club needs.

Sylvia isn't.

Posted

I think we need leadership and we need it where the action is in the inside midfield. I'd look at Scott Thompson - still only 28 with 3-4 years left.

Not sure if serious......

Posted

What would you prefer to offer up in return ?

Silvia

Given how bad our leadership group is and our need for quality midfielders I think we should make a play for Jimmy Bartel. Geelong have yet to resign him and I think he would be a great fit at the Dees. Now I know it would be highly unlikely to budge him from a stable super team, but I think we should offer him a truck load of cash and he can be captain if he wants.

Not sure they would be interested in anyone on our list. And Bartel would have to want to leave.

Sure you're seriously misinformed:

See S.Thompson in the top 10 - currently #7 in possessions, you can try ranking him by other metrics - you'll get a good result:

And you're not?

Already played for, and left, us.

Born and bred Geelong, like asking Moloney to leave for Carlton

Gary Jnr was also born and bred Geelong. Money talks and I think we should make Bartel an offer he can not refuse.

1) Vomit

2) What's with the love fest for Rohan? Injury plagued and largely unproven

3) Who?

Warnock & 2nd round pick to Hawthorn for Ryan Schoenmakers. The kid played all of his junior footy as a forward and was a bloody good one. Hasn't set the world on fire as a backman,could fix our need for a big FF. Matty I love the bloke but cant cut it in our backline and would walk into the hawks as there second best tall backman.

    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.
