We need midfielders!!

This to me says we have no confidence in Watts or Cook making it as a forward. Also what is the point in drafting Clark as a forward? 2 big forwards don't always work, just ask Brisbane. Also how do we get the ball down there enough to utilise these two gorillas?

Doesn't make sense, I smell shinanagons.

LOL!

It switches back and forth with you lot.

"We need KPP!"

"We need midfielders!"

Would be some coup, but I can't quite see it myself......................but then again I didn't see Clark coming to the Dees either....................so go get him boys!

Too right. Gotta be in it to win it.

Nobody saw Mitch in a Demon jumper until it happened. This club has got to act hard and fast, the last 4 years (now 5) have been a total disaster on field.

We must keep our members.

IMO there is little chance that he would come to melbourne,

Why would he leave the Pies to come to club that will struggle to play finals in the next three years.

It has been reported that Freo and GWS are after him with large offers.

Which would choose if you were travis?

Not a hard decision for me Freo has a good team looks like they can feature in a GF in the next couple of years

Or you could go to melbourne and spend the majority of your career playing with an average team at best over the next 3 years.

Even GWS would look better at present.

IMO he will stay with the Pies, he is just trying to maximise his salary.

Unless of course he's one of the players who allegedly doesn't like Buckley and he does not want to leave Victoria...

Yeah I'd say we've got better than Buckley's chance.

We do need another marking target forward. For various reasons Watts, Martin and Sellar aren't it. Howe and Jurrah are 3rd tall options not keys. We would be better off playing Clark mainly forward and relieving Jamar in the ruck. Jamar played 84% game time on Friday - he can ruck 75% of the game and Clark 25% if we have another genuine target.

As posted earlier - if the offer drives Cloke's price up and Sidebottom or Beams fall out then - hey!!!

This is the best-case scenario, for mine. Doubt we'll get Sidebottom, they'll surely want to lock him in, but Beams...........

Is it possible that Jamar may have intimated that he is looking at moving on and they are looking at Cloke as a forward option so that Clark can be freed up for more rucking duties? It certainly worked for the Hawks with Buddy and Roughhead. And who's to say they don't have their eye on an established midfielder as well... I expect that under Neeld we will be pretty active during trade "week".

I seem to remember Brown and Bradshaw working alright. Other teams also have played two big forwards and had success; Pods and Hawkins, Franklin and Rough, Dawes and Cloke, Riewoldt and Kosi, etc

Anyhow, I don't see Clark as a 'gorilla'; sure, he's a big guy, but he's got more to his game than just standing under a high ball. He can work up the ground on a lead, is pretty decent when the footy is on the ground, can run around in the ruck, etc.

People seem to forget that even if GWS and freo go for him, he ll have to relocate.

If MFC offer the same and train 100m away from where he is now then why would he prefer to go to GWS or freo

We do need everything.

There are maybe 20 game breakers in the AFL - Cloke is one of them..

Exactly.. which "lot" would that be? I've said we need nothing but midfielders. Surely we have enough KPP options.

I've wondered if Neeld's mates at Collingwood would be off-limits for poaching. Clearly they're the players he knows best, but also he's got a strong relationship and alliance to FD people still there and I think that's important - there are 16 other teams to hit - I wouldn't blame him if he said they're off-limits, but I hope he doesn't.

Old I would hope he alliance with his new team would superceed any alliance he has with FD people at his old club. I believe they would try to do something like this to us one day. If memory serves correct there were some talks about Collingwood wanting to get Scully, although that may have been speculation from Demonalnd who knows.

Beams would be an awesome get.

Oh my giddy aunt, there is no way cloke would come to the dees on current form!

Lucky for us we have 15 games to show we are moving in the right directing and that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I suggest we revisit this come round 20 and see how opinions have changed.

Beams should come nowhere near the club if we actually value culture.

The kid is a human stain.

this isn't going to end well ...

And overrated in my book. The only Collingwood midfielder I would touch is Pendles.

Do you have the same view of Jack Darling out of interest?

How many game breaking KPFs did Geelong have in its 2007-11 run? Hawkins only came good right at the end of last year.

Dont want Cloke. Let's continue to develop our own list first, then throw money at a player when we're off the bottom.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
